Greens Gone Wildlife
In an attempt to prevent a pod of dolphins from being corralled and killed in a hidden cove in Japan, actress Hayden Panettiere, from TV’s Heroes, and five other surfers paddled out to sea, only to encounter irate Japanese fishermen. The Sea Shepherd activists, along with model Hannah Fraser Rastovich in her trademark mermaid tail, were poked with boathooks and forced to retreat, and were unable to save the dolphins. The 18-year-old Panettiere eloquently defended her protest over the slaughter of 14,000 dolphins every year, explaining they serve as flagships for the health of marine life and that cultural traditions may need to change with the evolving world environment.A couple weeks ago on a Santa Monica beach, a sea of celebrities showed up for the 30th anniversary of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, founded by Captain Paul Watson (co-founder of Greenpeace) to protect ecosystems and species. SNL’s Chris Kattan entertained, Pierce Brosnan and Mick Jagger hosted, and attendees included Martin Sheen, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Esai Morales, Melissa Joan Hart, Brittney Murphy, Peter Gallagher, Roseanna Arquette, and Dave Foley.

I guess “What Goes Around…Comes Around.”

Of a more dubious distinction, Jerry Seinfeld's Bee Movie hooked up with McDonald's and Conservation International to encourage kids to go outside and “Bee Good to the Planet.” Is it me or is this a McGreen effort?
