Oscar red carpet goes green

Here's the headline for a story on Yahoo News:

Red carpet goes green as Oscars stars opt for eco-limos

Apparently the stars (or "Hollywoodites," if you will) are getting environmentally conscious and want to be sure everyone -- by which I mean the press -- sees them being environmentally conscious by hiring these "eco-limos," hybrid or bio-fuel vehicles, to take them to the Oscars.

I would've just shrugged off the story except for this comment by Y Fray, the owner of Eco-Limo:

"I'm very grateful to the Hollywood community because people look at celebrities to set the trend, to do the right thing."

People look at celebrities to do the right thing!? What planet is this woman from?
