Friday Fun: Celeb Eco-Hypocrites

by Liz

There is always something fun about criticizing celebrities, or maybe it is just me. I was trying to come up with something fun for Friday when I came across this article. (And this one)  In the past I have written articles about the great green things celebrities have been doing.  I have talked about Woody Harrelson and how he has been an activist long before it became the ‘cool’ thing to do, I’ve talked about Jason Mraz and his avacado farm and many others and their green ways.  Well this article talks about eco-hypocrites.  It tells of some incidences where green celebs have slipped up. We all have slip ups here and there, like maybe forgetting the the cloth grocery bags at home or forgetting to turn off a light but these celebs are on a different scale! I mean when is that last time you flew in a eco friendly hybrid car from Japan to England? Or took a private jet to talk about green initiatives?  So check out the articles below and learn abotu some celeb slip ups!

I guess what to take away from this is not that all celebrities spouting green living aren’t living up to their values, but to try your best to live in a green way.  Also celebrities talking about green living is also influencing others to try it out so they absolutly are doing good for our environment!
