It’s great Julia is talking about this problem! It’s something everyone (Parent or not!) need to focus on, and help with. She’s great!

You know, I admire this woman more every time she speaks out. She eloquently said the very thoughts that go thru my mind daily. I worry about this all the time. When Julia said “Good luck to ya in 50 years,” that really is not a joke. The world that we know and take for granted will not exist for our grandkids!! I get so upset when the average person doesn’t ‘get it’. So I am very glad that celebs are using their voice to get the message across.

Now I know that I am in good company when I recycle my plastic shopping bags (like Julia and Cameron Diaz)and junk mail and ribbons (again, like Cameron). I mean, these people have all the money in the world and don’t do it just to be thrifty – they do it because they have a conscience!

I feel so strongly about this issue now that I’m a mom that I have become an activist in my own town. I helped establish a household medication disposal program, so residents of our community don’t have to flush old meds down the toilet (very bad!) or throw them away in the trash (also very bad). My goal is to make it a county-wide program some day. Then who knows, maybe we could establish a state disposal program eventually.

Thank you Julia for your candor and passion. We need more folks like you!

I don’t have a problem with the swearing. It’d be silly to let offense at one word take away from the powerful message she’s conveying. Personally, I think the f-word highlights how she feels about it and it would be wrong to censor it out completely.

I like that celebrities are going all out to put across an environmental message. Some people will say it’s not their place, but I think if people follow them just to follow a celebrity then something good is still being done. I think celebrity endorsements are a good first step for educating an ignorant or uncaring populace. (BTW, I’m not calling the entire general public ignorant or uncaring – but there are certainly portions of it that are.)

You may want to bleep out the f-bomb.

We don’t usually edit celeb’s comments, but we are happy to if readers are offended.
