Photos: 7 Supposedly 'Green' Celebs and Their Eco-Mistakes

If I were famous, I would travel about in my jet plane, take a limo to the environment conference, and speak out against the destruction of the environment. The planet needs saving from those who waste resources.

Somebody at News Week please fact check your Willie Nelson Post (and the others too).

If you are driving a non-hybrid the same miles as a non-hybrid, you are reducing climate change emissions and it is not marginal. Obviously if your hybrid reduces gas consumption by 40% and you drive 40% more, you net zero. Duh.

What is greenly? Can you be more of it? The life cycle emissions reductions are clearly stated on Mr. Nelson's website: http://www.biowillieusa.com/

How will Mr. Nelson's biodiesel cause the US trucking fleet to drive more? Unless it significantly decreases the price of fuel, it likely wont.

The current trucking fleet runs on diesel. How is decreasing the environmental and health problems of fuel per gallon going to either discourage advances in future transportation of goods or preclude efforts to transport goods shorter distances.

Trucks are not Gas Guzzling - they are diesel guzzling.

Yes, it isn't easy being green. But it seems that it is far too easy for news media to get green issues wrong.

This is the kind of irresponsible media attention that undermines the whole objective of the green movement. People who reject a greener lifestyle do so because they feel like they're expected to change EVERY aspect of their lives. It's unrealistic (and impossible) to completely eliminate one's environmental footprint, yet here we expect these celebrities to do precisely that, This is the WRONG message to send. Rather than chastising these celebrities--who have made more of a positive environmental difference than most of their critics--we ought to applaud them for the "greener" changes they HAVE made. We cannot expect a person to be flawless. The most erroneous perception about environmentalism is that it must pervade ALL aspects of a person's life. What's wrong with making just a few small changes? I am not bothered in the least by a person who decides to shower just three times per week, but still eats meat--much better than the person who drives a Hummer and cranks the thermostat up to 80 degrees. Let's send another message--that people don't need to become saints of environmentalism in order to make a difference. Every little bit helps.

Typical. Clebrities are interested only in what makes them "look good," not doing what they say everyone else should do.

The headline, abbreviated "It ain't easy being," is far more accurate in this person's case. A talented, smart, but ontologically empty girl whose pursuit of meaning is impaired by something -- I suspect a narcissism -- that intrudes on her ability to "be."

The damask rose.

Often, when
a green and
delicate rose
appears near an
hopeful hedge,
a passing cluod
invents an emotion,
and even a smile,
like beautiful
thoughts in the
sun of your song.

So where is Al Gore in this lineup of photos? He is a fraud, with his non-environmental home/mansion/estate. Shame on Newsweek for ignoring this fact.
I'm a yellow-dog Democrat, but do not like Al Gore and his hypocrisy.

So where is Al Gore in this string of photos? Check out the massive over-consumption of energy in his totally non-environmental friendly main home. I'm a yellow-dog democrat, but I think Al Gore is a fraud.

For over three decades Paul McCartney has used his celebrity and money to advocate animal rights, vegetarianism, wildlife conservation and protecting the planet's marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Chrissie Hynde, Morrissey and Boston's Tom Scholz have also done the same.

Hey, ScumBama is doing his part by hopping in his jet and burning up 10,000 gallons of jet fuel to fly around the country talking sh*t about green. Evidently there are no cameras or press in DC?

Typical--celebrities who spout going green rhetoric and saving the world in other ways, while they live extravagent lifestyles.
