Why do the rich & famous go ‘green’?

Posted by admin on March 10th, 2010 and filed under famous entrepreneurs | 5 Comments »

Hi:)) I’m doing some research on the "green" trends/fads among the rich and famous – celebrities, entrepreneurs…pretty much everyone on the Forbes 400 list. I’m particularly interested in those who are driven by their political/economic interests (rather than by their genuine love for the environment). What names come to your mind?

think about it. Most of these "green industries" involve a lot of capital, meaning "green", meaning MONEY. They are conquering an open field of finance that makes them look like good, concious, intelligent people, while profitting massively from something that may or may not be beneficial to humanity. penn and teller will tell you that recycling and other green industries are sometimes worse than making a new product, but so what. support your global carbon taxes and enjoy your dwindling paycheck as the government goes green and forces you to accept less in your lifestyle.

    No. They are the worst hypocrites ever. You have to sell your car and use a bike.

    some do this for popularity like people will think that they want to help mother earth so people will think that they are a good people but I’m not saying that all does this for popularity. some really likes to help mother earth and some loves to lie for their selves.
