As early as 2006, tons of celebrities had traded in their Tahoes for eco-friendlier Priuses, Toyota’s funny-looking car that looks like a handy-vac and currently gets up to 60mpg. (In fact, Toyota is looking to up the Prius’s MPG to 100 in 2009!) It was, and still is, the “in” car. People drive them not only to “help the planet” but so they can thumb their noses at the people who don’t have a Prius. It’s like people who wear Prada and think you suck for shopping at Target. Only the Prius is relatively inexpensive. So which stars drive Priuses? And which stars drive Priuses then take private jets all over the world, thereby completely nixing any good they did the environment by driving their very own hand vacuum cleaner on wheels?

Will Ferrell has been a bit promoter of Toyota’s Prius. Other green, hybrid loving stars include Alicia Silverstone, Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz, Ellen DeGeneres, Ewan McGregor, Jack Black, Harrison Ford, Jack Nicholson, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Robin Williams. The list goes on. However, stars like Brad Pitt have been documented doing such un-eco conscious things as flying from LA to Namibia in a private plane. That 9,400 mile ride alone burned 11,000 gallons of fuel. He could’ve driven his Prius to the moon and then some on that much gas. Julia Roberts, George Clooney, and Jennifer Lopez have also been known to have backhanded approaches to appearing green. They all drive hybrids on the road, then fly in private planes all over the world.

Are they being hypocrites, or should we simply believe they’re doing good by heightening peoples’ awareness of hybrid cars and alternative fuel?
