I saw Leonardo's movie - I thought it was kind of confusing as a movie but it has a good message. I think Brad and Angelina are having a good effect on the housing thing with Katrina recovery. What happened with Harry Connick, Jr. and his New Orleans involvement? We should be building more sustainable houses there.

Matt Damon is involved, and Billy Joel and his new wife do some good things with organic food. I wish Al Gore would do something about his house. also John Edwards. Hillary's house should get some attention. Does she use CFLs?

I heard that some rightwingers and global warming deniers are stocking up on incandescent lighbulbs as a way of protesting the CFL trend.

I haven't seen Leonardo DiCaprio's 11th Hour, but I see a lot about it online and hear about it from my friends. I think it's a good thing that people like him and Brad Pitt, who appeal to people less political than the Gore supporters are, are getting out there with their voice and movie and getting some buzz.

I am disappointed that so much more attention is going to people like Britney and Nicole and Paris than to these people who are really doing something for the world. They should be showing with their work and words and money that they are interested in saving the planet for the next generation - even some stars with children don't seem to understand this.

In the rating sweeps week Earth should come first - some rockers, like Guster and Barenaked Ladies are doing a lot to promote environmental awareness.
