Tell Ellen: Plastic Bottles are P-yucky!
By Karina | August 25, 2010
Juli at plasticlessnyc let us know recently about her campaign to against Ellen and the rampant use of plastic bottles – of course we had to share the news with you!
Apparently, Ellen has started to shill for vitamin water zero during her show – and while I might have cynically written it off as a non-transparent advertisement, Juli has gone the extra mile and taken the proactive stance that we can stop this irresponsible and lazy showcase of and perhaps unintentional endorsement of plastic bottle usage!
She’s set up both a petition and a facebook group, please do go take a look at them. It is frustrating when a celebrity as loved as Ellen is chooses to remain purposefully ignorant about the effects of their actions and endorsements, so hopefully Ellen will listen up!
Do you think celebrities ought to behave better than the rest of us in order to be good influences?

that’s just plain irritating.
Totally annoying. Ellen is a vegan, and so presumably very in-the-know about all matters pertaining to health/environment/food/drink. It’s a lazy and irresponsible way for her to make a few extra dollars. Heading over to sign/join now…
