Madonna 'least green' at Live Earth gig

Madonna is perceived to be the least green artist on the bill at Live Earth, according to a survey.

James Blunt, the Beastie Boys, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Black Eyed Peas also don’t strike the public as particularly environmentally friendly.

Saturday’s Wembley concert is one of several taking place around the world to highlight the need to stop global warming.

David Kuo, head of personal finance at fool.co.uk, which carried out the survey of 674 people, said: “Although none of us really know for sure how green celebrities really are, public perception plays an important part.

“Live Earth will go some way to help, but caring for the environment goes beyond exercising vocal chords, rapping and crooning. Wouldn’t it be refreshing if all the artists turned up to Live Earth on their bicycles?”
