No offense, but I had trouble reading this because I got so distracted by the inane amount of waste on day 9 (JFK->SYR->JFK). I wish the US wasn't so obsessed

- adamhowell 17y agoYes, because had he not been on the plane it wouldn't have flown.
- mcantelon 17y agoAdded weight doesn't require the consumption of fuel? Using the pointless consumption of resources to garner attention doesn't set a bad example?
- adamhowell 17y agoYou know, that's a really good point. In fact, if he's really skinny he might actually be doing the world a favor. With 2/3 of the US overweight the chances are pretty good that the airline would have sold the ticket to someone fatter... There are so many other things to get your underthings wadded about, I just don't understand the negativity about how this kid's chosen to spend his month.

I don't understand why, in a time when we should be dealing with the problem of climate change, a project that celebrates the pointless use of resources and emission of CO2 is seen as acceptable. Pretending irresponsibility has no consequences isn't positive.
- karl11 17y agoI doubt that when he conceived of this month long project, he had a "celebration of wasting resources" in mind. It was probably more like, "I'm going to meet some cool people and fly to 50 cities".
- mcantelon 17y agoIt's like some sort of pretentious, web 2.0 version of a Japanese game show.
