Global warming: Lead by example

To the editor:I certainly am not an expert on global warming, but I do believe we should use our natural resources wisely, do as little damage as possible and encourage others to do the same.

However, I am perplexed by some of the superrich who seem to be the biggest users of the offending items, laying a guilt trip on us while seeming to change little, if any, themselves.

My picture of this scenario is that of a 300-pound man with a chocolate bar in each hand hidden behind him, lecturing a 175-pound man about how bad it is for him to finish his milkshake.

Would it not be more effective for Those who can help most, and most quickly, to do so and then challenge us to follow?
