Friday was Earth Day, and Premier Dalton McGuinty was doing his part, planting trees at King City Public School.
Fortunately, the eager children from Kindergarten to Grade 8 were spared the sight of the premier and his wife, Terri, in a gas-guzzling GMC Yukon SUV, which uses nearly 20 litres of fuel every 100 kilometres, according to GM Canada's website.
In contrast, Environment Minister Leona Dombrowsky's hybrid Toyota Prius uses four litres per 100 kilometres.
Nevertheless, the premier took microphone in hand in the school gym and asked the pupils why trees are important."
