 Celebrities Gone “Green“ With more than enough money to spare, celebrities do not have to think twice about the environment.
But, nevertheless, they do. Some of the top celebrities in the game are living life with eco-friendly choices and gree homes. Some celebrities have moved from living the lavish life of excess to living a green, eco-friendly existence. When it comes to gadgets and gizmos for the green home, Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Ed Begley Jr. are at the top of the green game. 
Brad Pitt
Though the actor was going green all the way back in 2004, purchasing hybrid cars and calling for energy independence, he’s made the biggest green mark on the world of green building and sustainable design through his support for the rebuilding projects in New Orleans.
He’s teamed up with Global Green USA for a sustainable design competition and a handful of other projects totaling millions of dollars and countless hours spent on making the Big Easy a greener city from the ground up. 
Leonardo Di Caprio
The guy known simply as “Leo” to hordes of fans is at once patron saint for green celebs and a passionate, committed, educated environmental activist. With worthwhile green accomplishments too numerous to list, rom global warming documentaries to green charities to producing Greensburg for Planet Green and starring in films condemning conflict diamonds, one of the original “eco-celebs” is still one of the most active. 
Daryl Hannah
A passionate activist and proponent for sustainable fuels and transport, Daryl Hannah walks (or, perhaps more accurately, drives) the talk. Last year, she sold her beloved “Badass Biodiesel El Camino” in favor of an all-electric version of the Trans Am her character drove in “Kill Bill,” but she couldn’t stay away from biofuel. She picked up another El Camino and converted it to run on biodiesel, saying, “My car loves to drink vegetable oil, especially if it’s from waste. I only use sustainablysourced biodiesel.” She remains actively involved in the Sustainable Biodiesel Alliance and, in between supporting eco-tourism in Egypt and raising awareness about the damage done in the Amazon by the oil industry, Hannah has time to narrate IMAX films about dolphins and whales and host her very own green vlog, DH Love Life. Whew! 
Ed Begley, Jr.
The guy who has a whole TV show dedicated to his green life &mdash Living with Ed, has been doing it all for years, from taking his home off grid using solar panels and wind power, to riding his bike all over Los Angeles, to growing his own food> and cooking it with a solar oven, to creating a line of non-toxic green cleaners. And he’s busily spreading the word about living green everywhere he goes, whether it’s on his bicycle for an energy-saving campaign or for a piece in the New York Times. Ed’s a real inspiration, both as an example of someone living really green and doing it for all the right reasons. 
Cameron Diaz
Known by some as “Professor Diaz” for her guestlecture for William McDonough at Stanford University, Cameron has been one of the more vocal, visible proponents for Momma Earth over the past few years. From her own reality show on MTV to her work with sustainable designers like McDonough and Cameron Sinclair to her support of a green video club, Diaz does it all without fanfare (but with lots of style) and showcases how going green can be fun and educational. |
