Bette Midler has been a force of green over the past year –her involvement in NYC’s initiative to plant one million trees, her New York Restoration Project to save 57 community gardens, and the 2008 recipient of the Rachel Carson award from the Audubon Society Women in Conservation organization. She hilariously quipped upon accepting the honor, “I love nature, in spite of what it did to me.”

Nope, not too cynical at all.

This is a great excuse for failing artists, "I'm stopping touring because I don't want to do any more damage to the planet".
It's a brilliant piece of PR, damage limitation I'd say, or is that viewpoint too cynical?
