<DIV>or should it be bizniz as usual? I think they can. No one says they should sacrifice safety, but they can sacrifice a bit of comfort for the national good, if only to make a statement.

Prince Charles will give up his private jet and fossil fuel-powered cars in exchange for commercial airlines and biodiesel cars in an effort to reduce his carbon footprint and help fight global warming emissions, according to a report from the Associated Press.
"From February, we are going to look at the diary and see what we can do to reduce our carbon footprint," announced a spokeswoman for the prince. "Wherever possible, we will be making less use of helicopters and chartered planes and rely more on car journeys, scheduled flights and trains."
The price is having his Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles converted to run on biodiesel and switching to green-power sources for electricity at his residences.
On October 30, 2006 a report released by the British government warned that the economic cost of climate change could be staggering, causing worldwide a recession rivaling that of the Great Depression.
