More on Pachauri's serious problem in "leading by example"

From this article:

...As for me, I'm going absolutely crazy travelling (laughs). I can only accept 5 to 10 percent of the invitations I receive, but even that is enough to keep me flying continuously. This doesn't make me feel very good but the message has to be spread.

A quote from Pachauri from earlier in the very same interview:

Mahatma Gandhi said; "to be the change you want to see in the world". I believe strongly in this.
