Going Green: Just Another Act?

I read the article on commonplace called “Going Green: Just Another Act?” I really enjoyed this article because it talked about a topic that I care deeply about: the environment. In this article the author talked about how this organization called Environmental Media Association (EMA) has celebrities and famous, rich people advertise for them in the hopes of inspiring those who look up to these famous people to also be aware of their effects on the environment. These celebrities drive hybrid cars and wear organic clothing, but are they really that concerned with keeping the environment healthy and from being destroyed? I honestly do not think so. They put on an act for money to appear like they support a certain cause when in reality they do things like spend $1,700 to fly their hats first class; which, for one, is, to me, a complete waste of money. Not to mention the amount of pollution that was produced on that flight. I agree one-hundred percent with this author and I think it’s a great article.
