Harrison Ford Criticized For Burger Binges

Posted By TFN on February 27, 2010

We all know the importance of recycling and trying to lower our exhorbitant fuel & energy consumption. We put out the recycle barrels to the curb each week and combine trips to the stores when possible to cut down on gas. Heck, Jawas have made a name for themselves in the Star Wars galaxy by scavenging the land for discarded parts and turning them into useful contraptions. They certainly go above & beyond when it comes to helping preserve the environment.

Unfortunately here in the real world, the superfluous actions of some celebrities is frowned upon by environmentalists.

According to this article posted on NewsofAp.com, Harrison Ford acknowledged that he frequently hops in one of his airplanes and flies up the coast in search of...not the Ark of the Covenant...not the Holy Grail...but a cheeseburger. And his rather excessive actions are not sitting well with the members of Carbonfootprint.com.

See the story below:

"Indiana Jones actor Harrison Ford has revealed that he often makes jet journeys to buy a cheeseburger.

The Indiana Jones star began flying when he was 52 and after gaining his licence, he went on to buy several aircraft, which he keeps at Santa Monica Airport in California, reports the Daily Star.

He recently revealed in an interview the extent of his love for piloting, telling Live magazine, ?Learning to fly is a work of art. I?m so passionate about flying I often fly up the coast for a cheeseburger. Flying is like good music; it elevates the spirit and it?s an exhilarating freedom.?

However, the 67-year-old has been slammed by environmental activists over the comments.

And Dr. Wendy Buckley, director of the website Carbonfootprint.com, has urged Ford to set an environmental example and cut back on his flying.

?Flying is a huge source of carbon emissions and making unnecessary journeys by plane can no longer be seen as responsible to our environment,? she said.

?Stars like Harrison Ford need to embrace the huge opportunity to lead by example in the battle against climate change ? reduce their overall lifestyle carbon footprint and carbon offset those unavoidable emissions,? she added."
