Environmental Celebrity-ism reaches its crowning glory in the May 2006 issue of Vanity Fair.
All the usual suspects are featured, from Bette Middler’s New York Restoration Project to the Natural Resources Defense Council Team. The surprise entry was Hank Paulson of Goldman Sachs, and who knew that advertisers such as Finlandia Vodka could be so proud of their “environmentally-friendly” production.
Editor Graydon Carter says that “the first green issue marks an increasing commitment to reporting on threats to the environment.” g-Think considers this an overdue recognition of what’s become a mainstream issue and the celebrities who are championing the green cause. But we also wonder: is there a danger of eco-celebrity getting out of control as everyone tries to get in on the act and waters down what is a fundamentally important issue in the rush for a share of the media spotlight? And, is their also the chance of eco-celebrity becoming just another trend as the media (and public) tires of it and goes onto the next hot thing?
