since the guy flew in on his own dime, i guess i'm really not seeing the issue here.

What about all the greenhouse gases released to fly this guy in . . . for pizza? We are bad people because we may buy a SUV to haul our kids and their friends around to local soccer games, but it is OK to fly some guy in on a dedicated private jet to cook pizza for the prez.
Oh, I'm sorry. We are the peasants and they are the nobles and these considerations do not apply to them. But don't feel bad . . . they really care about the environment. And they really say committed things about the environment.
I don't know whether the flight was private or commercial, but I think the argument can be applied in either case. Either people flying have a carbon footprint or they don't have a carbon footprint.
