At US Weekly, there’s coverage of John Mayer’s involvement with the green group Reverb:
Reverb, a non-profit environmental organization started by Guster frontman Adam Gardner and his eco-conscious wife, is teaming up with both tours, and will actually travel with Mayer. Their goal is to help reduce the “footprint” of the bands themselves, as well as educate concertgoers with interactive “Eco-Villages” set up at each tour stop.
At MSN, there are reports that Trippin’ host Cameron Diaz and super-hottie enviro-hunk (and author of the Live Earth Global Warming Survival Handbook) are hooking up.
And at Yahoo News, Factory Girl star Sienna Miller’s involvement with Global Cool is getting the group some more (well-deserved) attention.
Aside from David de Rothschild, who is a billionaire-heir, the rest of these folks are stars using their celebrity to get attention for what they care about (or what’s trendy?). Either way, people are hearing about issues like global warming who otherwise might not pay attention. I know plenty of people say that stars using their popularity in this way is disingenuous or maybe even opportunistic behavior. But Diaz has been involved with environmental causes for years. I think as long as the person knows what they are talking about (like Leo DiCaprio always proves) they should be able to use their power for good, not evil.

The study found that global warming since 1985 has been caused neither by an increase in solar radiation nor by a decrease in the flux of galactic cosmic rays. Some researchers had also suggested that the latter might influence global warming because the rays trigger cloud formation. I am find a blog which give some useful information on Global Warming.
July 19th, 2007 at 3:01 amI’m sure there are some who are just doing it to get press and be trendy. But there are many who have been involved since before they were famous or who honestly care and aren’t just following a thrend. Of course we often didn’t hear about them because when it wasn’t trendy they weren’t in the press.
July 19th, 2007 at 10:32 amActors are generally sensitive souls, who are sensitized by good causes… often taken advantage of by unscrupulous charitable organizations… David de Rothschild on the other hand, has to live with the sins of the fathers… so until he himself speaks out against the Federal Bank Reserve that his family owns and controls, along with the Rockefellers and a couple more obscure uber-billionaire families… destroying this country and the world, he’s part of the problem, not the solution!
