At a recent concert in Germany, 30 Seconds to Mars front man Jared Leto addressed the crowd about environmental responsibility. He also refered to himself as a "closet hippy."

 

He said:

 

You can get somebody to turn off the light or to unplug an appliance or to plant a tree.

 


I think it's a wonderful thing, we've moved beyond the days of tree-hugging hippies being the example of environmentalism around the world.


It's the responsibility of not only hippies, but all of us. I'm a closet hippy anyway - hence my long hair.

 

 

Leto then boarded his private jet and flew back to America.

 

It's important that we all take responsibility for protecting the environment. For tips on how you can help out, watch this interview with Al Gore.

 

 

 

 

Hey... wake up! In the interest of balanced politics, here is the other side of the issue, from President Bush himself.

 

 

 

 

You know what the real roadblock to Al Gore's global warming campaign is? The name. "Global warming." If you had lived in a cave for the past twenty years and someone just mentioned the term "global warming," you'd be like, "yeah, that sounds good, I'll have that." If I'm Al Gore, I'm coming up with a new name for it. You think that terminology doesn't make a difference? We're talking about a country where "Deal or No Deal" is a hit show. If Al emphasized the destruction of the Earth -- called it "Global Destruction" or something -- then more people would listen. Global warming sounds great; like the Pacific Northwest could finally become a tropical paradise.
