We all know about the growing list of ” green ” celebs today. Everyone is environmentally aware and wants to save the world. i.e. Live Earth, the massive concert that happened last year all around the world that featured about the top 150 musicians. The 150 most recognized. Therefor the 150 musicians/bands that travel with the largest amount of people, in big private planes while their equipment is being transported via road with the rest of the crew. Concerts so massive and ” good” attract a bunch of young folks near or not so near the city the event is taking place, making them grab their parents car and driving for 1 hour, 5 hours, 1 day or even 3 days taking their “ road trip”. Apart from that imagine how much energy was needed to host a 24-hour concert with lighting,amplifiers, and all of the other ” special effects”. but remember, the point of these events is to ” SAVE the earth” by creating about 31,500 tons of carbon emissions ( according to John Buckley from carbonfootprint.com) . Not to mention all the people stuck at home turning their tvs on to watch the concert that instead of helping the environment is gathering everyone in the world to pollute at the same time.
Although I have to recognize that some of the celebrities DO help the environment environment like Cameron Diaz. She drives hybrid cars, her house work because of solar panels, and her table top is made out of the recycled floor of a bowling alley. Shes not in it because its the ” fashionable” thing to do. Shes in it because she cares. So if you’re a rising artist that cares about the dont be hypocritical about this subject and pretend to care when you’re actually doing more damage.Â
So go green ride subways, walk, buy hybrid cars, and use your cellphone as a night lamp!
