Trippin is a 2005 MTV environmental documentary television series hosted by Cameron Diaz. It also features many other celebrities, including Drew Barrymore, Redman, Jessica Alba, Eva Mendes, Mark Hoppus and Justin Timberlake. On the show, said celebrities visit various ecological locales around the world, in particular underprivileged areas of the world.

Criticism

The show has also attracted criticism from the Cybercast News Service[1]. CNS claims Trippin's hosts overlook key socioeconomic issues existing in the countries visited, including Bhutan, and make such serious matters seem trivial in comparison to the supposed advantages of frugal living (e.g. actress Drew Barrymore was enthralled at Bhutan's lack of sanitary services).
