Live Earth: Hollywood hypocrisy?

Hollywood loves to play the role of activist. Maybe one day they will stop acting.

"The likes of Madonna and Red Hot Chili Peppers will perform at Live Earth at Wembley Stadium on July 7, yet campaigners say they are among the least "green" individuals on the planet" (DailyMail).

Please stop. Instead, use your millions to make a difference, to build a difference. Adding a couple of hybrid cars to your collection of limos, Maybachs, and RangerRovers while buying a few carbon credits is not nearly enough for wealthy stars. And singing about global warming is definitely not enough. You need to do much more, especially much more than talk about global warming - publicity hounds!

Al Gore has been speaking and writing about global warming for decades, yet he STILL lives in an environmentally-unfriendly mansion. If Al Gore and Hollywood care so much about the environment they could easily afford to build eco-friendly houses that exist completely off the electric grid. Instead, they choose mansions and lecture to the powerless claiming 'blame the corporations'.

Fine. I'll blame the corporations, but I'll blame you just as well. Besides, you are the mouthpieces of corporations, right?
