Live Earth: Protest global warming, make money, but do nothing?

Is Madonna another hypocrite following Al Gore?

Madonna, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and many other rock bands are going to rock the world into global warming action this Summer at Live Earth. Of course, they just might destroy the world first simply getting to concert locations with the massive carbon footprints these activists regularly create.

"The likes of Madonna and Red Hot Chili Peppers will perform at Live Earth at Wembley Stadium on July 7, yet campaigners say they are among the least "green" individuals on the planet" (DailyMail).

Al Gore is a millionaire. Madonna is a millionaire. These people have had the means to live the greenest of lives in the most comfortable fashion - essentially giving up nothing - and it wouldn't have cost them one bit of financial strain, yet, they have not. Not one of these stars lives in a house off the grid. Not one lives in an incredibly eco-friendly house. Nonetheless this 'any publicity is good publicity' crowd is going to tell the rest of the world how to live - the rest of the world whom has much, much more limited means? Please.

Use your millions to make a difference, to build a difference. Adding a couple of hybrid cars to your collection of limos, Maybachs, and RangerRovers while buying a few carbon credits is not nearly enough for these wealthy stars. They need to do much more, especially much more than talk about global warming.

It is good P.R. though! Bling, green, bling baby!
