Cindy Crawford Saves the Environment One $20 Water Bottle at a Time
businessandmedia.org ^ | May 7, 2008 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 05/07/2008 8:57:59 AM PDT by Rufus2007

It’s not quite champagne wishes or caviar dreams, but supermodel-turned-mommy Cindy Crawford is now offering tips on how to live a more environmentally conscious life.

Crawford appeared on ABC’s May 7 “Good Morning America” to share with viewers something “a little less red carpet, a little more green” – her “eco-awakening.”

“I mean, we’ve all have seen the Al Gore movie and green is on, it’s on top of the mind for everybody,” Crawford said. “But, it is overwhelming. I have a very full life as well, so it’s like ‘Oh, I can’t compost my own stuff.’”

“But my kids go to a school in Malibu and it’s super-environmentally conscious,” Crawford said. “We do beach clean ups, try to use less plastic as a school. And so, that kind of made me think what can I do? And, I teamed up with PUR, which is a water filtration company. They do the things you can attach to your faucets, as well as those pitchers and we came up with a reusable water bottle.”

Great, she saw "An Inconvenient Truth" and now she's hugging trees Malibu style.

All these environmentally-conscious millionaires should start donating “all” their money to the causes they want the rest of us to fund.

Good thing Cindy is hot - she would have struggled to make a living on brains.

It really is kind of sad that celebu-dorks like her just assume the “rest of us” are all tofu-eating, NY Times loving liberals, just sitting around watching propaganda movies about global warming.

She said some very controversial stuff that got under a lot of people’s skins recently but I can’t remember what it was. Something about her kids or something like that.

What with Cindy recycling those plastic water bottles and using one sheet of toilet paper per dump, the worlds problems are OVER!

(wish I could afford my own beach to “clean-up”)

You’d think being environmentally conscious started with “An Inconvenient Truth” listening to these people. Mr. Gore, there was already a huge environmental movement before you ever thought to hitch your fortune to it. And some aren’t even whackos, like Ducks Unlimited.

Cindy Crawford declares her career is over and she will now dedicate herself to high level irritation instead of low level entertainment.

They do the things you can attach to your faucets? Shouldn't someone have helped her with this before she made such a fool of herself? Gosh, now I can stop using the reusable water bottle I've had and buy the one she and this company created/sarc.

Too bad she didn’t study chemical engineering for more than a quarter. It would have insulated her from idiocy.

Oh, and if Cindy and Al Bore really want to show how much concern they have for the environment, they can downsize their homes to something much more reasonable.

She could move into a double-wide that her intelligence deserves and save a whole bunch of carbon credits.

I won’t hold my breath until she does though...

You...umm....need to update your Cindy Crawford photo collection. She doesn't look like that anymore.

Here is a fairly recent photo.

Actually, I suspect someone DID help her out and this is a result of a well coached Cindy.

Let's face it, these 2 neuron celebrities (one of which is busy with breathing and locomotion by the way) don't just come up all environmentally conscious on their own. The number of them flapping their gums all green is simply too high to be statistically supported. The agents and managers must chart a media exposure course for them and what we see is the result of that.

That picture looks like it was from 15 or 20 years ago.

WHOA - I just googled, and Cindy Crawford just turned 42!

So that picture might be from a quarter-century ago.

The BS about our drinking water not being safe is one of the biggest lies the water filtration companies promote. I drink tap water and reuse plastic water bottles dozens of times.

I don’t know why they call those things beauty marks, I would think a tiny little scar that a plastic surgeon could remove would be far nicer than that thing.

Imagine kissing her and hitting that thing...

Yuck!

Yeah, that's about what I would think she'd look like.

I wonder why these culture-of-death, nihilistic narcissists don't have the simple dignity & strength of character to wear a one-piece in situations like that?

I guess once you've sold your soul to the Culture of Death, there's no going back...

I saw Animal House and, amazingly, people didn't hire me as a college grad based on that viewing.

“And some aren’t even whackos, like Ducks Unlimited.”

The backlash is significant. I grew up late 60s early 70s. I was always in favor of anything I could do to conserve. But now, with this heavy handed, truth free environmental movement, I just assume all environmentalists are lunatics.

And every time I see some other mental midget pushing “going green” I just want to go jump in my Corvette and drive it like I stole it, burning all the gas I can.

I’ve known EE’s who couldn’t design a light bulb. It’s not an absolute indicator of intelligence.

LOL!
No one gets the irony that you have a woman who’s body evidently has been through childbirth-— and she wears it proudly (as she should)....

On a site that is supposedly pro- babies, mama’s life etc....

IOW,
her body is what all conservatives should hold up as ideal female form...lifegiving.
