The fact is, not one person is going to make a long term difference.
The whole world needs to change their attitude and no one invention, or celebrity is going to do that.
Yes celebrities can give all their money to charities to fund research into inventions to stop it, but how is that going to change the ways of people? And no invention, apart from the invention of brain-washing micro chips, is going to stop them from polluting. Possibly the example of many celebrities, yes, but no-one person is going to do it.
The only way anything is going to be done is for everyone to change their ways.

You're right, no celebrity is going to change the opinions of the entire world...but nobody here said they would, so that really has no relevance.
1) It's a well known fact celebrities inspire people to become musicians, singers, actors etc. Major fans can be inspired to change their ways purely because they listen to every word the celebrity says. Some people are only leading the lives they lead, because of the inspiration they received from celebrities. What your problem is, is that you're trying to make out that I claimed celebrities could inspire the entire planet to save the environment...which I obviously never said.
2) Look into it yourself. Some inventions that come to mind are: The Hydrogasifier, The StandByPlug, Biofuels, Carbon-emissions trading and Carbon sequestration.
3) Nothing will stop people polluting, but we can try to stop pollution having an effect. You yourself said if everyone contributed then we could help stop it, so if a number of people contributed a number of inventions then it'd practically disappear.
It doesn't matter how many people pollute, if that pollution is stopped from causing negative effects/contributing towards global warming then the invention has worked =]
