The UN(EP) recently launched a campaign to encourage people to “Kick the CO2 habit.” That’s all well and good except for the fact that while, the UN is busy encouraging us to reduce carbon emissions, as Dipesh points out, they don’t seem to have a problem with staff members driving around Kenya (and I’m sure other countries) gas guzzling cars. This is not to say that we should not all do our part to save the environment, however, the originators of the campaign should be setting an example for everyone else.
Dipesh has asked readers to help send a message to the UN(EP) about the hypocrisy of their campaign by uploading more pictures of UN-plated gas guzzlers on this Flickr page, or sending a message to the UN directly. Will be interesting to see if someone responds.
Would be great if someone could do this with the Kenyan goverment (GK) cars – lets see where the mwananchi’s hard earned money is going?
