whoonearthcares: Cate Blanchett steps into Climate Change awareness

August 7th 2007 01:06
Cate Blanchett was in qld yesterday to capmpaign for Climate Change and launch the new Australian Conservation Faoundation's campaign CLICK HERE to tell them you CARECLICK HERE You go online and register and answer a few questions and if you can be bothered send a pre-typed letter to your MP. I usually don't do this kind of stuff but have made an exception for a good cause this time, especially because they didn't ask for money........

I can be a bit cynical about the agenda of B grade celebrities jumping on the Climate Change bandwagon and the money to be made BUT I think in this case we can safely say Cate genuinely cares, she is Definitiely A list and ...........good on her for getting out there and not campaigning from some cushy studio somewhere. Here is the snippet. I am going to visit the link and give them some support.




Blanchett campaigns for climate change awareness

Hollywood star Cate Blanchett was in Brisbane today - not to promote a movie, but to encourage Queenslanders to become aware of the issues around climate change.

Blanchett visited the drought-ravaged Lake Samsonvale, north of Brisbane.

There she launched the Australian Conservation Foundation's new online campaign, whoonearthcares.com.

She says the campaign is about bringing people from all over the country together to work on climate change solutions.

"I think that the majority of Australians are beginning to realise that we can't hope to address the very real issues of water shortages and drought unless we significantly reduce Australia's spiralling greenhouse emissions," she said.


"Climate change is an issue that affects each and every one of us, and therefore it's up to each and every one of us to act responsibly and do something about it."

Jumping on the environment bandwagon is a sure-fire way for a B grade actor/actress to significantly raise their profile.

However, in this case, it's nice to see someone use their profile to raise awareness of a cause.

I'll pop on over and have a look at the site. Sounds like a good cause!

Cool, it seems to be a pretty good site, as I said they didnt ask for money which gives them points for being genuine in my book, and Cate Blanchett is one of my favourites, a true star not just a headline grabbing bimbo like the rest....oooh that was harsh, bad Louie.......

keeping people aware of current issues is always a good use of fame - though celebrities need to make sure their not just advocating a fashionable cause...

Agreed........Cate and Mia can take a house point the rest of them are pretty much headline grabbing at the moment......with a few exceptions......
