Arnold Schwarzenegger flies commercial and leaves Gulfstream private jet at home

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger will be flying commercial as he leaves his coveted Gulfstream private jet at home.

The former action star is headed to Denmark, where he will participate in the world climate summit. He is expected to tackle greenhouse gas emissions and how California will promote its reduction.

A spokeswoman for the governor said that he is flying commercially to conserve energy, which is one of his main concerns.
Schwarzenegger has already been criticized for driving around California in a hummer. Using a private jet to fly internationally would further hurt his public image.

A couple of years back, Schwarzenegger had 13 flights using his private jet. This was subjected to public scrutiny. However, members of his entourage say that he paid for those trips by purchasing green credits.
