BILLY IDOL WANTS TRUCKS TO STOP IDLING

We never heard of the “War on Idling” in New York, but this cute photo of Billy Idol inspired us to look into it. It seems NY Mayor Bill De Blasio is obsessed with the fact that vehicles – especially delivery trucks, do not turn off their engines while parked – they idle. Of course that pollutes neighborhoods, but no matter how many tickets are given, the habit persists in the city. Billy Idol lives in Los Angeles, but he’s a good sport and joined the campaign because he has the right name and wants a clean environment. Of course Billy attracted a nice crowd to the PR event.

LEWIS HAMILTON WORRIES ABOUT THE PLANET

Formula One racing champion Lewis Hamilton is a huge celebrity in the UK, and in one way, he’s a bit like our Leonardo DiCaprio. Lewis proudly announced that he’s been vegan for several years – doesn’t eat meat or fish to protect the environment. He points out the cows have a shockingly negative effect on the atmosphere. Does he think about how much pollution is caused by all the races he partakes in? Worst of all, Lewis admits that sometimes he flies his dog ALONE back and forth from his Malibu home to his UK home in his PRIVATE JET.
