Hollywood celebrities command attention, no exception. That is why they are the front liners and trendsetters in today’s green movement. From eco-friendly home renovations to hybrid cars, celebrities are now making conscious effort to saving the planet in their own simple ways. In support to their organizations and social causes, they are the ones who also invite everyone else to make a difference.
Living green is about more than using green cleaning products, carpooling or driving a gas-efficient car. While those are incredibly important and steps that we should all try to take, living green takes many different forms for different people, such as supporting environmental organizations or committing to a vegan lifestyle.
Sure, celebrities’ castle-size mansions probably require more energy and water than an entire neighborhood combined, but that star power also gives them the finances and media attention to truly contribute to the green movement. From Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz to Edward Norton, Hollywood personalities are stepping up to the commitment and responsibility of promoting awareness in saving the planet.
George Clooney is known for his great acting skills, his long list of former girlfriends (he’s single again after another recent breakup) and, oh yeah, being so hot! But much like our other green celebrities, Clooney is more than a bundle of talent and a beautiful face. He believes in both charitable and environmental causes. We also love that he’s honest about how his celebrity lifestyle doesn’t always mesh with green living.
In 2007, he told Time magazine, “You don’t want to be a spokesperson unless you are absolutely committed to a cause because you can hurt it. I’ve been asked to help represent environmental groups. I’m a big proponent of cleaning up the environment. I have two electric cars. But I also have a big weak spot because I’ve flown on private jets.”
After he starred in Syriana, Clooney became involved with the launch of Oil Change, a campaign to eliminate America’s dependence on foreign oil. The campaign also sought to educate Americans. “If you’re doing a movie about oil consumption and corruption, you can’t just talk the talk,” Clooney said. “You gotta walk the walk.”
