DiCaprio cuts back on green issues

Hollywood actor LEONARDO DICAPRIO is cutting down the time he spends talking about environmental issues - because he doesn't want to sound "patronising".

The Titanic star has long been campaigning to raise awareness of planet-saving schemes, but admits he doesn't want people to get irritated by his non-stop 'green' talk.

He says, "Yes, I have solar panels and all that sort of stuff. However, the more I learn about the subject matter, I also realise that people find it patronising. They feel like they're being told what to do when somebody like me talks about the fact I have solar panels."

And DiCaprio insists that while most people want to do their best to help the environment, he understands that many can't afford it.

He adds, "Not everybody can get solar panels and not everyone can drive a hybrid car. It's not about blame or telling people how to live, it's just about saying, 'Let's all be aware of these issues'."
