Celebrities should use less oil by jet pooling

After Leonardo DiCaprio had his say about how all of us should be doing more about oil use, I think that conservation should begin with Leo and his friends. A person called him out about his personal jet use, and rightly so. We should employ social media to call on those who have personal jets to start jet pooling. Two or more celebs per jet, or no take-off. This could save half of the hundred-plus gallons per hour that they are burning.

Jet pooling. Think about it. Leo would be all in, right?
