What is "eco hypocrisy?" See "greenwash."
But wait! There's more!
The Telegraph lists the, "Top five celebrity eco hypocrites." They are, in order listed:
- Rock star and long time environmental campaigner Sting, whose band The Police is the “dirtiest band in the world.”
- Former US Vice President and Nobel Peace Prize winning environmentalist Al Gore, because of his energy-hogging house in Nashville, Tenn.
- The Live Earth concerts last year, "aimed at saving the planet," but which generated 31,500 tons of carbon emissions.
- "Actor John Travolta, who has spoken of the need to come up with alternative forms of fuel, has faced criticism over his ownership of several planes including a Boeing 707."
- "The Prince of Wales faced embarrassment last year over a 7,000-mile round trip to the US to pick up an award for his environmental work."
Greenwashers, every one.
