When it comes to role models, it is very rare that we point to a celebrity as someone you should emulate, but there are a few rare gems in Hollywood who are leading the way when it comes to living more eco-consciously. Sure it’s easier to make the “smart” choices when your bank account is flashing 9 figures, but nevertheless, we’re going to take a minute to give credit where credit is due.Leonardo DiCaprio has stepped into the role as Earth’s number one fan. His eco-centered website focuses on everything from the latest news on the BP oil spill to the declining tiger population in areas of Asia. After the devastating earthquake in Haiti, DiCaprio donated 1 million to the Clinton Bush Haiti fund. In 2007, he produced an environmental documentary, The 11^th Hour, discussing the current state of our planet and what needs to be done to restore our damaged ecosystems. Another notable star is Pierce Brosnan, who, along with his wife Keely, have spent considerable time and money on environmental projects. One of their areas of interest includes marine mammal and wetland protection. They also partner with the Natural Resources Defense Council to lobby against projects that will threaten natural habitats such as the Navy’s new sonar system.When it comes to the green ladies, Cameron Diaz is at the top of the list. Diaz participated in the MTV documentary about worldwide environmental destruction and the way simple lifestyles preserve the Earth. Diaz drives a Prius and accounts for all of her carbon emissions from travelling and purchases carbon offsets to reduce her footprint. Another notable leading lady is Australian actress, Cate Blanchett. Her Australian home is powered by solar panels and her and her husband are attempting to add a splash of green to the Sydney Theatre Company where they serve as artistic directors.
