Pictures: Leo DiCaprio: He’s No Mail Model

A few months ago, planet-saving carbon-spewer Leonardo DiCaprio threw his support behind a national Do Not Mail Registry to help stop junk mailers from killing all those precious trees and filling our trash cans with coupons and credit card applications and such. Which is definitely a good cause. Even if you could care less about what happens to a bunch of stupid leaf-mongering eyesores, it’s annoying to go to the mailbox and find a bunch of worthless crap.

But wait. What’s this? Leo’s doing what? Say it isn’t so, Page Six:

This week, freelance writer Philip Recchia received in the mail a big envelope with DiCaprio’s name on the return address space, soliciting donations for the Natural Resource Defense Council’s “Polar Bear S.O.S.” campaign.

Inside the envelope were a one-page pitch letter from DiCaprio and a two-page pitch letter from NRDC president Frances Beinecke; a flyer for a free “Save the Polar Bear!” tote bag; a donation form/petition to the secretary of the interior, urging him to protect the polar bear as an endangered species; and a return envelope…

AKA: Junk mail!

But DiCaprio’s flack, Ken Sunshine, who also reps the NRDC, makes no apologies. “Guilty as charged!” he told Page Six, adding the star’s “environmental commitment is unending.”

Sounds more like he’s committed to ending the environment. It’s either Save the Polar Bears or Save the Trees, kid. Gotta choose. (I vote for the polar bears. They’re awesome. Grrrrrr!)
