Oscar-winner Robert Redford and Producer-Director James Cameron speak out about the oil spill

Oscar-winner Robert Redford is beginning to step up to say "enough is enough." He said that the American people need to take responsibility for themselves in their consumption of oil and move to other alternatives such as solar and wind energy. The actor believes that the bottom line is these oil companies are out to "promote their environmental credentials and use their money to influence their parrots in Congress.

Redford is among the few star celebrities who is speaking out about the devastation of the oil spill which has damaged marine life and the livelihood of businesses on [Louisiana] gulf coastal area. James Cameron, sea diver and producer of "Titanic" and "Avatar" has disapproved of efforts made to stop the gushing of the oil describing them [those working in vain to stop the spill] as "morons." Having experienced filming deep-sea documentaries and developed a deep sea remotely operated vehicle, Cameron offered BP his service, but they refused.

Redford, also an NRDC trustee said that the ads that British Petroleum features with environmental message on [going green] and Chevron [Human Energy] have literally made him throw up." 

When you look at the pelicans soaked with oil, one would throw up. It is unfortunate that there are some who may not have these same sentiments, [or] may do so, but may put their own self-interests before others.
