In a rare display of corporate promotion, Leonardo DiCaprio paid his first visit to Hong Kong to help launch HSBC's new line of "green" credit cards. According to the bank release, the green card is made of environmentally friendly materials and uses digital bills to cut down paper consumption. Every transaction will also contribute to a local environmental protection project.

The launch is a joint project between HSBC and The Leonardo DiCaprio foundation.

Hitting the Asian city also gave Leo the opportunity to be on hand for the premier of his film, The 11th Hour.

BTW, the answer to him riding on buses is that he is a celebrity and would be confronted by some moron who wants to make a name for himself. Huff-post seems to be cutting off everything after the 1st break.

I wonder if this guy has ever ridden on a Los Angeles County public bus or subway? Before you sign up for a "green card", find out what the interest free grace period is, what the penalties are if your payments are a day or 2 late, what the interest rate is if you carry a balance (not recommended) and what the foreign exchange conversion fee is. Green is nice, but low finance charges are even nicer.

Not at all. I care about the environment and am very happy to hear that "this green nonsense" is spreading East.
