The Oscars Go Green (sort of)

As thousands of celebrities and their millions of dollars worth of clothing and accessories amass somewhere in L.A. to celebrate themselves and how amazing they are at getting rich at the expense of, well, everyone else who is not a so-called celebrity by creating those few movies we love among the many we hate... hey, at least they are "going green" while doing it. CLICK HERE to read more about how the Oscars have gone green. Sure, it might be greener to take the millions of dollars spent to put this great night together and contribute it to charitable and environmental organizations, but then how would we all know that Katherine Heigl looks stunning in red or that George Clooney is, in all respects, the greatest human ever or that Gary Busey is still insane.

All joking aside, it is in fact great that the Oscars are making an effort to reduce their ecological footprint, and every little bit helps. There are also many celebrities who share a great passion for environmental issues and do make unbelievable contributions to this cause, so I must commend them. Also, while I am a firm believer in doing what you can to be green, I also do not think it should come at a cost of shutting down life as we know it. In other words, the Oscars may go on! We still should enjoy our passions, even if not very eco-friendly, as long as we commit in other ways to offset those guilty pleasures.

My apologies to those who love this stuff, including my wife. No offense.
