These celebrities talk the talk, but I don't see them walking the walk.
When I see actors actually start using their own money to fund these causes rather than beg for tax payer money, then I will listen to them.

I got this mention in the news story earlier this year:

Dave Matthews Band Unveils Plan to Save the World

The next time you're in Ben & Jerry's make sure you order a scoop of Dave Matthews Band One Sweet Whirled ice cream with sprinkles on top.

Inspired by the DMB's hit "One Sweet World," a portion of every sale will go to support global warming initiatives around the world.

Long-time supporters of social activism, Dave and the crew have teamed up with SaveOurEnvironment.org and Ben & Jerry's to launch the One Sweet Whirled campaign dedicated to fighting global warming. Their goal is to empower the public to 'take action' and 'talk action' when it comes to protecting the environment.

The One Sweet Whirled campaign urges people to make a pledge to reduce their C02 emissions by 2,000 lbs., which can be done by driving your car 15 fewer miles a week, using cold water to wash your clothes instead of hot, and by recycling.

"Or,", Matthews said, "you could use RobFromGa's Kyoto-lite solution, and stop purchasing any of my records or attending any of my concerts. The Rob-dude's stopped watching Julia Roberts and George Clooney movies too, and we commend him for his awesome environmental activism. These tiny steps can add up to big changes for Good Ol' Momma Earth, as we call her when we're all stoned and counting our money on the Lear".
