U2, a band famous for their desire to save the planet and for their contributions to third world aid, have come under fire for their carbon footprint. The band's world tour this year will generate enough carbon to equal a trip for the four band members to fly first class to Mars, a journey of 34 million miles. picked by Bingo 4 months ago
