Shoppers ‘green’ Gordon Brown’s Jag
Go Carbon Free has 'greened' Gordon Brown's ministerial Jag in a bid to raise awareness of climate change.
Greened Gordon has chosen a 4.2 litre Jaguar XJ V8 which falls into the government's own top band of gas-guzzlers. With an estimated usage of 8,000 miles per year, it would emit 3.5 tonnes of CO2, and makes the PM a good example of men not wanting to compromise their individual lifestyles for greater good.
Customers who shop through the portal earn free personal carbon credits while buying everyday items. The site also allows shoppers to nominate a carbon-reducing cause - and Brown’s jag was a unanimous vote.
Brown will be presented with four Gold Standard carbon credits that will offset his car’s carbon emissions.
Hubertus Thylmann, Go Carbon’s MD, said: ‘We hope that Gordon Brown acknowledges the effort by a group of shoppers to 'green' his car.’
Maybe they could offset Prince Charles’s flights next time - he’s another man that doesn’t scrimp.

You know, I think it is absolutely DISGUSTING that the Prime Minister of Great Britain should be driven around in a luxurious British Car.
Instead, on the way to cabinet meetings he should travel on a Japanese built Toyota Prius, which features a lovely plastic dashboard, inviting nylon seats, and, even better, less than half of the legroom and comfort provided by the Jag.
It does however, come with automatic sniggering from other leaders at summits.
Or even better, why doesnt the prime minister arrive in a fabulous G-Wiz, that will really show off the dignity of this country.
Just in case any of you are wondering if this is my honest opinion, it is not. A Jag 4.2 is at the top of my wish list.

Personally I think a Prime Minister willing to sacrifice his macho credentials to contribute to saving humanity would be a fine example to set to other world leaders.
