@katiecouric: Trudie Styler & Sting

Katie Couric speaks Trudie Styler and Sting about their commitment to saving the rainforest, their practice of yoga, their long marriage, and Sting's take on reality contests like "The X Factor."

[@flindo5830]

60's and looking fit. Beautiful couple. Awesome song writer/performer.

[@margitouma6172]

They did such a good job raising their kids. I have never heard of them acting stupid in the media. Btw, I'm a huge Sting fan, and him doing yoga got me into it for many years.

[@sushifornico]

katie thanks for the good interview! i just love you

[@welovecrete]

Trudie and Sting and many others have worked on the Rainforest Foundation for many years. These is not just shallow, off the cuff comments, this is a woman who is walking her talk. If one is successful and wealthy - does that mean one cannot have an opinion? Or take a stand? Or be a spokesperson? This Foundation goes back to 1989, I am sure Sting and Trudie and all their collaborators have measured their eco footprint!

[@mattmarkus4868]

Do you think producing more greenhouse gases than a small country while simultaneously harping on people about global warming is walking the walk? I don't begrudge anyone their success and their possessions, but I wouldn't behave so sanctimoniously if I were in their shoes.

[@annasmith2612]

It's the most noble cause I've ever heard about. If a foundator or a person that can take a decision reads about my comment. I'd love to open à filiale in Geneva. The city of rights. It's one of the causes that touches me the most.

[@voahiranarakotonaivo6480]

This woman is amazing.

[@emid5726]

Well, all of people commenting how good and kind Trudie is…did you know she was sued by her former chef for abusing her while this chef was pregnant? And lost the suit, was order to pay. The judge stated: “Mrs. Sumner had many minions to act out her evil intentions toward chef”. I don’t consider this kind of person a good human being.

[@stephaniecasey745]

Love them as a couple and all they are doing ...great causes inspiring

[@christianscott6963]

Maybe we chop down too many, but trees lumber is used to frame buildings, instruments for music, cooper barrels for wine, even the hardwood floors Kate and trudie are standing on, so as we re-supply our forrests and carefully choose the regions for deforestation, we should find balance

[@avrevs]

It is hard to know what to do in the short or long term, but each of us can find ways to make a difference. Perhaps it's just important to make an effort against all odds so to speak. It's great to see these two inspirational champions still fighting the good fight.

[@cindyeyeoftheangellemarine7118]

Good God! trudy is a beast!!!

[@ruthsixtysix1690]

I did not know TRUDI was so-so-so very beautiful! Got it, Mister Sumner - got it!

[@arbrianna672]

If she's suggesting that people do a particular thing or don't do a particular thing to help the rain forest or the environment in general, these same rules should apply to her as well. If they don't people will start to view her as a hypocrite. The problems concerning the rain forest and the environment are real, people need to know that those involved in "helping" the planet are sincere. If you give people cause to doubt you they will not trust you. If they don't trust you, they won't contribute to your cause. Please be careful with what you say, people are listening and they don't like what you are saying!

[@mattmarkus4868]

I didn't know Sting was a scientist. Amazing.

[@onira55]

they are so cute together :))

[@jumpforjoy6]

[@tucobenedicto1780]

Trudy Styler is an elegant & attractive woman. I see what Sting sees in her.

:18:00 ~ "... WE are Stewards of the Ground We Walk On, NOT OWNERS ... "

[@coconibsrgood]

my question is...how does giving them money save the rain forest? Where does the money go?

[@fukcudave2686]

Jefferson Washington they get big fat tax breaks I would think the best thing to do to help the planet is take action yourself and not rely on this type of thing

[@AnthonyDelRay]

Hmmmmmmm I wonder how many hybrid cars Sting & Trudy own and actually drive? I wonder how many gallons jet fuel, gasoline and oil Sting & Trudy use per year? I wonder how many getaways & vacations Sting & Trudy take per year? And how expensive their power bills are in ALL of their personal homes around the world? Our power bill is about $159.00 a month (in our only home) and we travel out of town about every 6 months. We don't own a pool or jacuzzi and we use power saving light bulbs....

[@lincathrin]

my goodness, such a lot of "hate" for a family dedicated long term to helping heal our planet's lungs ! Gaia needs our love. be a contributor not a detractor. without a healthy planet we and our children are all doomed.

[@rachelstevens111]

P.S. trees take in carbon dioxide and put out oxygen

[@arbrianna672]

Did she get confused? I thought everyone knew that trees give out oxygen not carbon dioxide!!

[@yourvenus2304]

They also release CO2 during respiration process

[@luckysol7486]

💘

[@berryfairy68]

People are so full of crap, they put down and question the way people like Sting live, like if you had millions in the bank you would give a crap about the planet, like if you would give up your limo ride for a Prius, or give up your private jet for a coach ride in a crowded plane... no you wouldn't but it's so easy to judge when you are not in that position.

[@berbick21]

Hi Katie. Gorgeous heels. You are as beautiful as ever.

[@patrickcon1]

If Sting and Trudie's carbon footprint is large but less than the average guy then fair enough! After all, they are doing a lot to bring it to the world's attention. They're a lucky couple but, in fairness, they've worked hard on the maintenance of that luck.

[@stephenfiore9960]

...Katie has the best hair and leg...

[@scottharrisohn6972]

and she did well in this interview, challenged them a bit

[@ouideddeladj7698]

Trudie inteligente personne love couple amoureux sympathique humanitaire genial think you merci gracias humanitaire 😍😍

[@jumpforjoy6]

But how can she talk about this with any sincerity when her outfit and jewellery alone would pay for many water wells. Same with how she edited the Big Issue when she has 6 huge homes? Does she not get how she looks? Rich people have no self awareness

[@jumpforjoy6]

lol weird vibe at the end, Trudie clearly wanted out of there and Katie kept talking lol

[@Zedta]

watch the whole interview, will you?

[@pooslinger8745]

She said trees give off carbon dioxide... Good message overall but fucking hell

[@RobertSmith-sq1wg]

she states nothing new, or provides solutions for using up the planets resources. People need to work, we need wood to build our homes and metals etc etc. We need to work and earn money by making and then selling resources. Its alright for you to sit in your fancy castle and homes (paid for by your partner, i might add) and tell US how to live. Your partner provides a lifestyle free from monetary strain i.e you do not HAVE to work. I DO. If there was a more ingenious easier way of making money without destroying shit, dont you think people would monetize same. Be quiet and sit down

[@justinherbert9146]

The woman has owned mansions with huge carbon foot prints, travels on private jets with huge carbon foot prints, travels in huge SUV's with huge carbon footprints - do as i say not as i do - Sting's wife lecturing me on the environment -- puhlease

[@SD-co9xe]

Ok, but she said straight up we aren't going to give up what we are are doing. So it is pretty hypocritical.

[@lblmer]

Sting has that rare troubadour gift. He could make the phone book sound good. However, his view of political perception is not well thought out. He is a follower in realm of politics. Stick to music and stay away from politics.

[@dadduorp]

Kevin Holland Have you ever stopped to think that perhaps that "political perception" is that what drives his creativity, thought, and the passion in his music? Not everyone can be as creatively ingenious as Lee Greenwood or give back so much to humanity as Ted Nugent.

[@lblmer]

Sting is the classic pretty pretty boy. Additionally, he has a miraculous musical gift. Lyrics are not his strong suit. I have high admiration for Sting. Cheers mate.

[@AraliaFresia]

+Kevin Holland Lyrics are not his strong suit? You may be right about the politically active brown noser aspect to Sting's reptilian brain but if you think his lyrics aren't his strong suit then you haven't really sat down with any of his lyrics and pondered them. What makes you say they aren't his strong suit? Just because they don't always rhyme? Rhyming lyrics aren't necessarily deeper or more thought provoking, maybe to a fool, but not an intelligent and creative thinker, who doesn't need verses to rhyme to think they are good words to consider. Think about that, and listen to Wild Wild Sea and get back to me with a new opinion about his poetry, yo.

[@mattmarkus4868]

Kevin Holland Welcome to reality, virtually all rockstars and artists are comically naive politically speaking.

[@scottharrisohn6972]

Trudy made Sting an activist.

[@belladona5065]

STING MADE TRUDIE AN ACTIVIST! SHE HAS NO MONEY! SHE COULDN’T HAVE PAYED ANYTHING IT WASN’ T FOR HIM! Sorry about the caps

[@SXI96]

sting's touring and his traveling around the world every year most likely leave a huge carbon footprint, do we need more of that product ?, it's always hypocritical when celebrities speak about environmental issues when hollywood and the entertainment industry leave large carbon footprints from production work, traveling, and oil/electricity consumption in general

Lotus2575 And that's the problem in a nut shell isn't it. On your own admission you can't bring yourself to agree with her "no matter what she says" because "you don't like her "

[@JG_1114]

@@billt1954 there’s no rule that says she has to like Trudie. I can understand why Sting was attracted to Trudie. She was really beautiful (oddly pretty) but very classic… she does have or exuded a lot of sex appeal in her time, and I will say that she does know how to carry herself in social situations and carry herself in an upper class kind of way. She knows how to use what she has and makes it work for her. But I haven’t heard wonderful things about her from previous employees or those who have worked for or met her randomly though. I think she’s only great to people she considers on her level or higher or those who are good for her public image and make her look good.

[@mattmarkus4868]

Katie Couric, although earnest and sincere, is way too star struck here and over-complimentary to the point of being sickeningly sweet. ugh.

The main problem is that we have too many people! We're overpopulated. Thereby there's too much over consumption and too much need. In 1950 there were 2 billion people. In 1970, 3 billion. In 1990, 6 billion 2015, 7 billion.
