- Paul McCartney speaking in Ringo Starr’s defense after the former-Beatle recieved a backlash when he asked fans to stop sending letters for the sake of Mother Earth. Ecorazzi supports Starr’s request and is pleased to hear that Paul McCartney does to. The frigin Beatles are still sooooo awesome!

Starr insists the ‘ban’ on fan mail was “in direct response to an inordinate amount of items which have recently appeared for sale on eBay, and to those that repeatedly send cards and items to be signed.” He added, “(It’s) a waste of paper and we all should be mindful of our carbon footprint.”

Here’s some brain candy: the average American uses more than 730 pounds of paper each year, which ends up making close to 40% of our garbage. Here at the Razz we’re always excited when a star is aware of their carbon footprint and fully support Ringo in his decision to lighten his load. Peace and love, Ringo. Peace and love!

On his personal website, Ringo warns: “This is a serious message to everyone watching my update. Peace and love. Peace and love.I want to tell you after the 20th of October please do not send fan mail to any address you have. Nothing will be signed after the 20th of October.If that is the date on the envelope, it’s going to be tossed. I’m warning you with peace and love. I have too much to do. So no more fan mail. Thank you, thank you. And no objects to be signed. Nothing. Anyway, peace and love, peace and love.”

Did you know that each year, 100 million trees are used to produce junk mail and that 250,000 homes could be heated with just one day’s supply of unwanted mail? So give the man a break and stop chopping down trees for Ringo. And also: peace and love, peace and love, peace and love!

Looks like today is just a Beatles kind of day!  Earlier this afternoon Ecorazzi reported that Paul McCartney faced a leathery situation while staying at a Texas hotel on his road trip across America. In other green news, it’s just been announced that ex-Beatle, Ringo Star, is endorsing designer J Gerard as his go-to designer for Peace Couture & “peace gear.” 

Ringo is all about the peace issue and even wanted his birthday to officially be known as “Peace and Love Day”, so it’s no surprise that he’s endorsing a designer with some eco-suave taste.  J Gerard is known for her green stance and was one of the very first designers to create fashion in bamboo fabrics and to use corn with organic cotton. I LIKE!

Ringo isn’t the only celeb to wear J Gerard, Miranda Lambert wore the designer during her performance at this year’s ACM Awards and then walked away with the album of the year. Coincidence? I THINK NOT! Other stars include CHER, B-52’s Kate Pierson, Prince, Patti Smith, Sheila E, Dave Matthews, Angelina Jolie, Miley Cyrus, Bob Dylan and the cast of HBO’s Entourage.

Explaining his decision, Ringo said: “I’m a product of the 60s and it was a very influential period in my life, and you know, my head was turned around a bit, my eyes were opened as it were. In fact, I even have it on my arm, ‘Peace and love’. I see nothing wrong with peace and love.”

And neither do we! So don’t forget, in just a few hours (depending on where you live), stand up and shout “Peace and love” at the top of your voice! Come on…do it for Ringo. 

“Let’s make my birthday, July the 7th at noon, Peace and Love Day. Everybody go, ‘Peace and love.’ In the office, on the bus, wherever. It’s still peace and love for me, I’m a product of the 60s and it was a very influential period in my life, and you know, my head was turned around a bit, my eyes were opened as it were. In fact, I even have it on my arm, ‘Peace and love’. I see nothing wrong with peace and love.”

- Ringo Starr telling Access Hollywood that he wants the world to celebrate his 69th birthday with him as the first official “Peace and Love Day.” To do you part, Ringo’s asking all fans to yell “Peace and love” at noon. Ringo, it’s officially in my blackberry!
