Pop Culture Icons' Effect on Ecology

I get The Grist online. Along with giving me an education in all things ecological, it has some fun and entertaining pieces too.

For example, today it has a quote by that troubled troubadour, Lindsay Lohan, on how her out-of-control life detracts from serious issues:

and then they contrast her statement with another also made recently by the tremendously talented, Leonardo DiCaprio:

DiCaprio has a new documentary on the ecological crisis that he has produced and narrates coming out soon which I would love to see. It also makes me want to watch the movie "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" again which stars both DiCaprio, Juliet Lewis, and Johnny Depp before they were famous. I love that movie and it has been a number of years since I've seen it.
