Yamada said, “I always carry an eco bag for shopping.”

Does she also refuse bags when she goes on shopping sprees for new clothing?

Oh, I don`t want that clothing put in a brand-name bag. Just put it here in the same bag I use for daikon and edamame.

Nonsense ! Happens everyday in the US as celebrities turn out in full force in support of various charities !

Ha, ha, ha! You make me laugh. Since when has starlets like Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Nicole Ritchie, Jessica Simpson, and Pamela Anderson been known for charity. Seems to me like they make more news for getting into a world of trouble. Har, har, har!

Look at her outfit. She wore that to plant a tree? $10 says it's from the "Tokyo Girls Collection"

Planting a tree in front of the Hachiko statue... I guess there isn't enough bare ground anywere else in Shibuya? Actually, I don't care if Talento A plants trees or not, but if Talento A's fans are pliable enough, then maybe they'll run out and copy-cat planting trees. And that would be good.

Haaaa, the JT public and double standards... some things will never change. Come on, let's hear yer answers to the question: "Since when has starlets like Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Nicole Ritchie, Jessica Simpson, and Pamela Anderson been known for charity".

And I'll add this one: why do you demand Japanese stars to be better?

Right after Yu finishes planting that tree she is going to eat some ramen w/disposable chopsticks, blow her schnoz in some tissues, and then go to shoji class (yes, I know it's rice paper but I can't help it).

Every single tree planted is one small step in the march of saving this planet. Good work, Yu. Save your 'funny' comments and do something yourselves.

Yu is a common name for both boys and girls in Japan like Ai, Mai or Me which is great if you have all 4 in the same class (I, My, Me, You). The focus should be on the Environment Minister Ichiro Kamoshita, does he not have more important things to do.
