Obama and the smaller carbon footprint
 

The Honolulu Star-Bulletin had an article about what the Obama family did over the weekend while on holiday. One of the things Barack did was work out at a local gym.

But a little blurb caught my eye:

"She offered him a bottle of Dasani water, which Obama declined, preferring to drink out of the water fountain."

Woot! Good for him!

Huh... a man who lives what he preaches? Take that, Al Gore!

Wonder if he would have accepted though, if the bottle offered weren't simply bottled tap water anyway.

Just back from Switzerland and France. The thing that vexed me most was the near universal unavailability of complementary large glasses of water at restaurants. Bottle, bottle, bottle. If you begged, you'd usually get a small glass that was barely large enough to put your cigarette out in.

Dasani water sucks, don't blame him for preferring to drink from the tap.

The tap water in Hawai'i is fine. Drink it all the time. I don't drink bottled water in Hawai'i at all.

LOL! I love Obama. He planned to eat at either Zippy's or Rainbow Drive-In. Rainbow's is my favorite plate lunch place!! That's so freakin' awesome!

I will take my hat off to Obama for this small gesture demonstrating that perhaps it is more than simply words coming from his lips.

Substantial body heat escapes through the head. Taking your hat off to Obama only harms the environment.
