...have chosen to approach the problem in the near total absence of action from Washington. Lobbying has shifted to the corporate world, where large companies like Wal-Mart have implemented energy efficiency polices far more aggressive than anything coming from the government. High-profile celebrities like Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio have made green cool for consumers. And hardly a day goes by without news of a leap forward on solar, wind or hybrid cars, thanks to private investment - again, in the absence of significant government spending...
...planning of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' nuptials, and at any celebrity-driven event, whether it's Cannes or the Oscars, you can usually spot her giggling with Holmes, George Clooney or Martin Scorsese. Indeed, one of her first tasks as an Armani employee was to take Leonardo DiCaprio out clubbing in New York City when he was just...
...Leung usually plays sympathetic loners, as in Hero and Infernal Affairs, the film that inspired Martin Scorsese's The Departed (Leung played the Leonardo DiCaprio part).

Layers of earth, each covering deposits millions of years old, protrude naked, leaving only broken slabs of rock. Along the road...
...again, we're told that Americans need to stop the insanity of relentless consumption, and instead live simpler, smarter and slower. My dwindling bank account and I are all for it, but there's something not quite right about having that message brought to you by someone like DiCaprio. DiCaprio would neither be wildly rich nor wildly famous - he wouldn't be Leo, in other words - without the efforts of a celebrity machine that runs on extremely conspicuous consumption. It's not that DiCaprio shouldn't be applauded for using much of his celebrity to promote environmental causes - though...
