Celebrities Put on the Green Pressure
Celebrities really like to voice their opinion. If it isn’t Angelina Jolie talking about the president it’s Bono talking about
voting. I’m not saying their opinions don’t count, but I wonder how much people really listen. For instance, would the Hollywood A-list make you go green?
Hollywood is one of the most polluting industries around: Focus Earth’s entertainment episode cites a 2006 study showing that between special effects explosions, idling vehicles, and diesel generators, the industry produces an estimated 8.4 million metric tons of CO2 equivalents annually—a level that nearly reaches the emissions produced by both the hotel and apparel industries.
But celebrities like George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Edward Norton have strived to live green and use their fame to influence others to go green.
Do they influence you to go green? Would any celebrity influence you to make your life more green?
