GREEN is, like, so hot right now, thanks to Miranda Kerr...whether at her plush New York pad or her luxurious LA digs…

The disconnect between fantasy and reality here is bizarre. But yes, the WWF has made Miranda Kerr, who has a carbon footprint the rest of us could only dream about, their global Earth Hour Ambassador. The reaction from the Fairfax Press to this absurd hypocrisy? Credulous gushing. GREEN is, like, so hot right now, thanks to Australian model Miranda Kerr, who has been named Earth Hour’s ‘’global ambassador’’. Kerr, a self-styled earth mother, who gave birth to her first son, Flynn, in January, and has an organic skin-care range and blog, has pledged to turn off the lights on Saturday, March 26 - whether she’s at her plush New York pad or her luxurious LA digs… Kerr has said that on top of supporting the hour-long lights-out event, she will also ‘’go beyond the hour by continuing to recycle and by buying organic produce from local farmers’ markets’’. Now in its fifth year, the environmental event is expected to be one of the biggest, with more than 130 countries participating. Just as an aside, the Quadrant article referred to at the end, The Intelligent Voter's Guide to Global Warming, is not behind the magazine's pay wall and is available free on the interwebs.
