Julia Roberts was on the cover of Vanity Fair’s Green Issue a few years ago, radiant in green as the Earth-Mother Goddess. I like Julia Roberts (except when she says things like “I am, like, so totally, definitely a practicing Hindu and really into chanting!”). I found Vanity Fair’s choice comical, as their cover girl said she was new to recycling, but had started taking her own mug to Starbucks.
Wow – that’s event-changing for all of us!
I hate to break the news to her and Leo and all the other celebrities who make headlines by arriving in a Prius at the Oscars: Millipedes, beetles and wild termites are SO far ahead of you in recycling! They not only eat stuff, but also help recycle nutrients. And they laugh and point at your behind your backs because they know you have at least 20 other cars parked at one of your many mansions around the world. And spend a fortune on coffee from a place where workers can’t afford a cup of joe.
