Hannah Montana, High School Musical stars talk green cars *cringe*
There's a fine line that often gets crossed when kids take up political causes. Sometimes, kids make great spokespeople (I suggest checking out 8-year-old Carrick's interview with Darth Vader and the Biodiesel Ambassadors for two examples of this). Other times, watching kids talk about the environment can be slightly painful. You can see what I'm talking about - and see if you agree - in the videos after the break. The clips were shot at the Chevy Rocks the Future / Jonas Brothers event earlier this month and include stars from "Hannah Montana," "Desperate Housewives," "High School Musical" and a lot of other media properties. I'll admit right now that I wouldn't recognize and of these tykes if they were performing right in front of me, so I'm certainly not the target audience here. If the kids aren't enough for you, you can also see Wayne Brady, Kathy Ireland, and Luke Perry interviewed about their green hopes. Watch 'em all after the break.

Ok, I definitely don't fall into the "intended audience" category for these clips, but I do think the event was a smart one to try and make the "Think Green, Live Green" movement part of our kids lives. That said, there really wasn't a whole lot of education going on, was there? What a great platform to talk to kids from and no one really educated anyone outside of GM's product mix (at least not from what I gathered in the interviews).
Also, when they asked everyone what they would like to see as their "fuel of the future" no one said "air". Air in, air out. Am I the only one that thinks that would be ideal? I mean seriously, Peanut Butter? Can you imagine how expensive Peanut Butter would become? And M&M's? How do you squeeze an M&M through an injector?
