“We don’t believe in having a gigantic carbon footprint. So we felt it was time to pass the baton to somebody else,” Mr Cameron told WSJ. He added that they are trying to walk the walk of sustainability. “One major criticism, especially if you’re seen as a high-visibility or high-net-worth person, is, ‘Oh, you’ve got all these properties all over the place. That’s not very sustainable.’ We’re trying to walk the walk of sustainability,” he added.
