The Environment

Now I'm all for jumping on the bandwagon about cleaning up the air and ridding our landfills of all the plastic that we seem to use. Good grief just one of those plastic bags that you bring your groceries home in takes 1000 years to disenagrate. And face it, we never have just one. Three or four is more like it.

That being said. I'm tired of the celebrities jumping on us, the American people to do something. Like they don't do anything? Excuse me but have you ever watched the award shows? How many of them show up, alone, in a limo? Do you know what it takes to run one of those?

And what about all of the celebrities that fly? Or worse, have their own planes. We're supposed to do without just about everything so they can just be glad they spoke up?

Here's an idea. How about the next year at the Academy Awards, they all show up in one of the diesel bus's that the country/western stars seem to have? Wouldn't that be great? To see all of the stars pile out like school children one by one in their tuxedos and one of a kind dresses?

Seriously, it's really hard to WANT to do anything once a celebrity gets involved. They all think they're so special. I would love to see just how many lights are left on at one of their homes they only use on occasion. And do you think their gardens go unattended because they're not there? HA!!! They get watered just like my backyard yet I'm the one thats supposed to feel bad that we're running out of everything. Well I don't even drive so right there by not owning a car I'm doing probably more than just about any celebrity is don't you think?

Sure, we should all do something to help with the environment. Use recycled paper towels (which cost a fortune) Turn off the water while brushing your teeth. Now that is a good idea because you use eight gallons of water from the time you turn the faucet on till you turn it off. That's a lot of water that you really don't need to be using.

We can replace the light bulbs in our home. Replace just one and you'd be amazed at how much that helps. Really.

There are a lot of things we, as the normal American people can do. But the movie stars as far as I'm concerned. Well they can start picking each other up when they're staring in the same movie. Ride that bus I was talking about to the award shows, turn off THEIR lights and water while not at home and get off my back.

Thats my View and I welcome yours
