Clueless

The Badger Herald - Silverstone talks global warming

Alicia Silverstone, an environmental activist and actress best known for her starring role in 1995’s “Clueless,” showed her excitement and promoted Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama’s global warming policies during a conference call Monday.

Silverstone said her backing for Obama’s global warming policies started when she learned that “he was not taking money from lobbyists, which is ultimately corporate funding.”

“I was impressed when I heard him talking about how we give corporations free rides regarding their use of the environment,” Silverstone said. “Obama will make corporations pay for the harmful emissions that they put into the air and keep corporations responsible.”
