It's important in this newspaper's mind to highlight something Mr. Kerry seems to do a lot. That being say one thing while doing (or saying) the opposite. In this instance, he has positioned himself as a very strong environmentalist. It is therefore relevant to many people if Mr. Kerry recycles his beer cans, drives a fuel efficient car, etc.
Mr. Bush really doesn't have much of a position on the environment besides "Pollution bad". It's hard to nail him for being a direct hipocrite. Bush would drive an SUV and Republicans would applaude him for buying an expensive American car (making a more significant contribution to our economy) while being able to consume as much damned gas as he's willing to pay for.
Kerry's different because his constituents care about different things.
