Cate Blanchett Stops Washing Her Hair - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TJL · 08-07-2007, 07:26 PM

From the IMDB:

Oscar winner Cate Blanchett has stopped washing her hair in an effort to do her bit to save the environment and become a green example to her kids. The actress admits she has installed timers all around her home to restrict energy levels - and one is even on her shower head. Now she's no longer washing her hair, Blanchett has realised, "I only need to have a two minute shower." She adds, "I went to a website and my husband was laughing at me because a box arrived with 30 timers, and I thought, 'Excellent, stocking fillers!'" The Babel star has decided to do as much as she can to save energy after a recent visit to drought-ravaged Lake Samonsvale, north of Brisbane, Australia. She tells the Sydney Daily Telegraph, "I'm extremely concerned about climate change as a mother, because I want to ensure for my children a very safe and sustainable future. It's great to see my children engaged in these things, like when you put the water on when you put the toothbrush under the tap, you turn it off the minute you take it out and you don't let the water run." The Australian star has also limited her car use and has switched her household power supply to green power.

That's great news Cate.

Could you stand downwind? My eyes are starting to tear.

I also read that on imdb.

While it's certainly commendable to conserve water, I think people have to draw the line someplace. I sure hope I never bump into her - gross!!

That's just nasty. I read recently where Jennifer Aniston takes only three minute showers, and brushes her teeth in the shower. Let's not forget Sheryl Crow with her one square of toilet paper per person campaign. These people are nuts and phonies to boot. They don't call it Hollyweird for nothing.

Of course, they all need gas-guzzling private jets to take them everywhere - they don't want to fly commercial with us common folk.

Do they really think that these little things are going to help with the mess the planets in?

rusyd · 08-07-2007, 09:07 PM

That is taking things a bit far, I think.
