Flying Visit to Climate Event

Will.i.am arrives by helicopter for flying visit to climate event

Last year rapper WIll. I. Am visited the climate event in Oxford by arriving in a helicopter. When giving an interview at the event, the rapper expresses his frustration and confusing towards the fact that so little people are worried about the climate changes. He feels that it should be on everyone's priority list. Will. I. Am hoped that social media would help spreading the information about climate change. According to the rapper the best way to change the climate for the better is by using companies to make these changes. But on the other hand, isn't ironic that superstars promote action to improve the climate fly around in a polluting helicopter?

Opinion:

I found this a very funny article. Especially since Will.I.Am is so motivated to talk about environmental changes but comes to a climate event in a HELICOPTER! I do like his approach on solving the climate problems. When thinking about it I also think that for solving the climate problems it will start by companies making "green products".I think that when it becomes easier and cheaper to buy green products, people will buy these products more. But if Will.I.Am really wants to make a statement he should stop flying his helicopter...
