About You
Go Green Like the Celebs

It’s believed by the year 2050; earth’s resources will have been wiped out. Scientists are already predicting if we don’t reduce greenhouse gas emissions, earth’s climate will have reached a point of no return in just 10 years.

Everyone is getting on the environment bandwagon including your favourite celebrities. Take a leaf out of their books; maybe you’ll be inspired to adopt some of their ideas.

Multi award winning Australian actress Cate Blanchett helped launched the Australian Conservation Foundation Who On Earth Cares? She also supports SolarAid, Forest Guardians and plans to equip Sydney Theatre Company building with solar panels, rainwater collection systems to make it entirely environmentally friendly. Even her Sydney home is fully powered by solar panels.

Former 007 James Bond’s Pierce Brosnan regularly volunteers his time to support numerous environmental causes such as marine, animal and wetland protection, and anti-nuclear, clean air and clean water campaigns. The Brosnan Trust has distributed more than one million dollars to environmental organizations, schools, activists, and charities.

The “King of the World” Leonardo DiCaprio has his own eco website on which he drives home the message about global warming, earth’s water supply and plastic bag elimination.
He recently produced and narrated a feature length documentary on global warming called 11th Hour (now available on DVD). He even drives a hybrid car.
 
Woody Harrelson supports companies that support the earth.Harrelson came to fame in the award-winning TV Series Cheers. This guy is inspirational. He focuses on biodiesel, getting off the grid, being organic and wears hemp clothing.

Jessica Alba has replaced all her grass with a recycled tire substitute because it saves watering the lawn. She’s big on composting and leading an organic lifestyle which extends to the clothes she chooses to wear made from organic cotton.
 
Once the cutest doctor in the E.R room, George Clooney founded OilChange, an organisation aimed to end America’s reliance on foreign oil. He also drives a hybrid car.

Californication’s David Duchovny’s home run on solar energy, he recycles, drives a hybrid car and according to
an interview on crave.com, he wears disposable diapers.
 
The gorgeous, Cameron Diaz, is outspoken when it comes to environmental. She uses offsets for carbon neutral travel and opts for products containing recycled materials.
 
The Barenaked Ladies run their tour buses and trucks on biodiesel fuel.
 
 
You may not have millions of dollars like the Brosnan’s, but you can get informed, get involved and take action. Cameron Diaz sums it up best with this quote “If everyone just changed one aspect of their life, if they just did one thing differently, that alone is a step closer to solving the problem.”
