Cindy Crawford Saves the Environment One $20 Water Bottle at a Time

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.

Anytime she wants to go clean up the beach, I'll be there.

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.

I'll be any kind of tree she wants me to be.

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”)

“..and we came up with a reusable water bottle.”

Um, they’ve had those for years, haven’t they? What a jerk.

They think they invented the reusable water bottle? Dick’s Sporting Goods will give you one for free.

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...
