SocraticGadfly: ‘Liberal’ Hollywood doesn’t always want to be green

‘Liberal’ Hollywood doesn’t always want to be green

Like Pierce Brosnan, sniffing at the idea of limiting his next domicile to 2,400 square feet in order to get LEED certification.

Or other people complaining because LEED is too “inflexible.”

(Obviously, people like you complainers would cheat if LEED were more flexible, which is why it needs to be “rigidly honest,” not “inflexible.”)

Besides that, LEED has four certification levels. If you don’t want to jump through all the hoops, fine, just don’t shoot for platinum-level recognition.

That’s the problem with actors. Due to what they do for a living, most of them wouldn’t recognize hypocrisy if it bit them in the ass. And, that’s part of why many liberal actors are such foot-in-mouth types when it comes to getting involved with politics.
