Re: Celebrities and the Environment

^

I have people tell me that because celebs have a voice that will be heard that they should use that voice. I'm not too sure about that. It is the same around election time - do the celebrities hurt or help the candidates running? I think they can hurt, depending on who is doing the listening. If you get this celebrity who lacks moral fiber telling us who the good politicians are, that might hurt a bit

And as someone who believes in environmentalism, I find it a bit annoying to see celebrities out there preaching to use about global warming and hybrid vehicles and how WE should change when they themselves lack the motivation for change. They tell us to drive hybrids while littering in parking lots (Scarlet Johannsen), they tell us to plant trees while they date supermodels who work for companies that destroy endangered forests (Leonardo DiCaprio dating Gisele Bundchen while Victorias Secret chops down the Boreal Forest to make VS catalogs), they tell us to drive hybrids while they themselves are jumping into their SUVS (Charlize Theron).

It just makes me wonder, what good are they doing.
