I'm too sexy for my blimp.
Leonardo DiCaprio was honored last night with the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards first-ever “Big Green Help Award.” After rolling up in his Hybrid, the “kids” awarded Leo for his dedication to going green, for helping them to do the same. After receiving his statuette from longtime friend and sustainability supporter Cameron Diaz, Leo said this to the pint-sized crowd:
“Right now, our mother – our mother – all of our mothers, Mother Earth is hurting, and she needs a generation of thoughtful, caring and active kids like all of you to protect her for the future. You can help us win the battle to clean up our air, our water, our land, to protect our forests, our oceans and our wildlife.”
The award kicks off Nickelodeon’s Big Green Help campaign, a global, social campaign that educates kids on the importance of saving energy. It was launched in response to a survey conducted by Nickelodeon and the Pew Center in which more than half of the kids surveyed stated that the environment was one of their major concerns. (Maybe they stopped Facebooking for Earth Hour 2009.)
Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens were also on board to accept the award for favorite film: High School Musical 3. Miley Cyrus picked up an orange blimp for Favorite Female Singer, while the Jonai won Favorite Group.
I’m all for a Leo PR boost, but is it fair when kids get involved?
