I'm afraid I had a few thoughts about The Green Bishop?
Whilst endorsing the notion of something is better than nothing, I have to express some concern about the preponderance of those in the public eye who are publicised as 'giving up [insert eco-damaging indulgence here] for a [acceptable media-worthy personal/corporate inconvenience period here].
As we're on a theological bent, what kind of message does it send that these things can bought off by a brief period of abstinence?
That's like flying half the planet around for a climate change awareness concert about the damage of flying halfway around the planet, and making a big play about offsetting the travel... then going straight back afterwards to... oh.
Let he whose business doesn't 'require' travel cast us back into the Stone Age.
For me, in such cases, the messenger can often be as important for credibility as the message.
