we all know fast foods reputation

maybe he truely cares about the envinronment but he s not constant enough to be credible to the eyes of people
for him it is like a hobby, cause in between films he must be very bored
gisele is no better, she pretended to support PETA but she still can’t say no to a huge contract that requires her to wear fur (Vogue China)

that kind of attitude, I call it oppportunism
they’re environmentalist when they feel like it

I worked hand in hand with: http://www.victoriasdirtysecret.net/ to get the message out to unaware consumers. No book inspired Leo to go green. The environmental activists protesting the destruction to pristene land caused by Leonardo DiCaprios filming of the BEACH in Thailand is what prompted Leo to go green. And while Mr. DiCaprio jets sets the globe trying to convince every citizen on earth to drive a prius, he can't even manage to convince his girlfriend to step away from her mercedes. Now if a person is going to talk the talk then they need to walk the walk! Actually Namaste, I helped protest at my local mall against Victorias Secret. I worked hand in hand with:

But we all know that life is not quite that black and white for most people. I married a non-green girl who is now very green. Should I not have dated her? If you have a problem with Victoria's Secret then why not encourage action to draw attention to it instead of merely venting. Why not point to the petition about it signed by over 6000 people that I just found via google at: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/250704936?ltl=1131459913 Personally I have watched the movie Leonardo di Caprio made a while back about the environment and was impressed by its honesty. I am even reading Ancient Sunlight, the book that inspired him to go green, on his recommendation. Does the fact he wears leather or dates someone who wears fur lessen the impact of that message? You can view his eco site, that movie and his new movie about Water (although I have not yet seen the water movie) at: http://www.leonardodicaprio.org/ Could he be greener? Sure. Could you or I? Sure. So on we go. Namaste to you all City Hippy Hi Rainbow Smiles

Leo's rantings on being an environmentalist on OPRAH nausiated me. He rationalized his leather wearing, meat eating, behavior by saying "you don't have to be a tree hugging hippie to be an environmentalist." No Leo, but you shouldn't date models who wear fur (as recently as Vogue China Oct. 2005 cover - P.E.T.A. no longer likes Gisele) and you don't date models who drive SUV's and work for Victorias Secret (the company who is single handedly destroying the Boreal Forest in Canada). The two hypocrites should have stayed together... Leo and Gisele are two of the most NON Enivronmentalists to ever exist in Hollyweird.
