7 Dumbest Ways Celebrities Have Tried To Go Green
Cracked.com has come out with a list of The Seven Dumbest Ways Celebrities Have Tried to Go Green.
The top spot went to AL GORE'S Live Earth concerts . . . which sent 150 musicians around the world . . . IN PRIVATE JETS.
According to Cracked.com, the artists were flown a total of 222,623 miles . . . which pumped 31,500 tons of carbon emissions into the atmosphere. On a single day.
Here's the rest of the list . . .
#2.) HARRISON FORD waxes his chest to save the Rain Forest.
#3.) COLDPLAY Offsets Their Carbon Footprint Via Dead Trees.
Coldplay decided to negate all the environmental damage their touring caused by planting trees . . . including 10,000 mango trees in India.
But according to Cracked.com, environmental groups say this DOESN'T WORK . . . because trees don't lock in carbon long enough to make a difference. Plus, all the mango trees Martin planted are pretty much DEAD now.
#4.) WOODY HARRELSON has "Vegan" clothes . . . flown by private jet.
Woody was playing in a charity poker tournament at the Cannes Film Festival this year, when he realized he had forgotten to pack his favorite "vegan" belt and shoes. So he had them flown to France from Los Angeles, via private jet.
#5.) SHERYL CROW uses one sheet of toilet paper per visit.
Sheryl made a comment about how we should ALL use just a SINGLE SQUARE per bathroom visit.
#6.) JENNIFER ANISTON brushes her teeth in the shower.
Jennifer said she conserves water by brushing her teeth in the shower. But Cracked.com says that's even MORE wasteful.
Dental experts say you should brush your teeth for about two minutes. Well, two minutes in the shower uses five gallons of water. But leaving your faucet running for two minutes only wastes about two gallons. And you don't have to leave the faucet on the whole time you brush your teeth.
#7.) PAUL MCCARTNEY got a Lexus hybrid . . . which was flown to him from Japan via private jet.
This one is pretty self-explanatory, but there are two things we should note: The car was actually a gift to Paul for doing promotional work for the company. It's not clear whether Paul ASKED for the car to be flown in, or if Lexus just did it.
