'Green' Celebs Who GUZZLE Gas!
-By Warner Todd Huston
I usually couldn't care less what J-Lo or Brad Pitt do. Sure, I watch an occasional movie they are in but when it comes to their empty headed blather on matters they know nothing about (that would be just about anything other than clothes designers and high class restaurants) I find their prattle nothing but an annoyance. So, when I see celebrities unleashing their hot-air about the environment, I tune out rather quickly.
But this story is just too funny...
The website TMZ.com has done a revealing little survey of the amount of fuel that self-proclaimed "green" celebrities waste at the same time they are claiming to be so environmentally friendly.
Julia Roberts
-On the Road
Drives a Prius (60 miles to the gal.- nice savings)
-In the Air
In a private jet, just once, flew Chicago to LA, 1,749 miles (2,100 gallons of jet fuel- WOW!)
Result-
Julia could drive her Prius 30,000 miles, or once around the whole globe, to match her one plane trip!
Remember, that was only ONE of Julia's fancy flights. Her Prius ownership seems a bit pointless if she is going to fly all about the planet wasting many thousands of times more fuel than her little Prius could ever save.
They also find similar findings with Jennifer Lopez, George Clooney, and Brad Pitt.
