Hmm, Now Jay Thomas thinks I'm 2 Kinds of Nuts - Plain and Eco-flavored!

I'd love to know if any of Jay's listeners would shave their heads for a trip to New Zealand. If you're a listener reading this, please comment: Would you shave your head for a round trip flight to New Zealand? Remember, the tattoo lasted about 2 1/2 weeks and was not permanent.

Although Jay pointed out the amount of carbon it takes to get to New Zealand, I think we learn about ourselves and each other through travel. We can combat global warming by changing our lifestyles and flying economy class when we travel (not that I'm totally adverse to first class - but first class has fewer seats and premium service making it have a larger carbon footprint than coach). Plus, on Air New Zealand, even in coach, you are treated like a human being. I found this true on both its domestic and international flights. Now we just need all the American carriers to treat us as well on domestic flights as they do on international flights.
