There are celebrities who are using their fame for more personal gains. Some, however, use it to help others by helping the environment. Take, for example, Tom Hanks, who is often seen driving an eco-friendly car.
Tom Hanks is one of Hollywood’s biggest stars. He has done great movies, has received several awards and surely has made a great name for himself. His efforts to help the planet with his electric cars is making him an even greater personality than he already is.
Like Leonardo Dicarpio, Matt Damon and other green celebrities, Tom surely deserves to be commended. For setting an example to others and for spreading the word about electric cars and their benefits, he is surely a big help to building a more sustainable planet.

It’s certainly not a Volt, and doesn’t look as pretty as the Leaf, but the custom-made electric car driven by Tom Hanks is one of the most eco friendly vehicles around. It’s not the exact car pictured above, but it’s one just like it. Hanks’ electric car is a modified version of a Scion XB that packed on 625 lbs of lithium-ion batteries to turn the hybrid into a full-blown electric car. The extra battery power lets the eBox electric car drive for a range of between 100 and 120 miles between charges – not bad considering the Volt can get around 50 mile range out of a full charge.
This is Hanks’ second electric car, his first being an electric RAV4 that one of his employees drives – and which recently passed the 50,000 mile mark on the odometer.
