should be supported all year-round. To help get you in the green mood, and
start thinking about how YOU can help save the planet, check out these
do-gooder celebs who’ve been using their Hollywood status to protect good ol’
Mama Earth.
Sophia Bush
The
One Tree Hill sweetie is a big fan of
The Nature
Conservancy. Sophia not believes that it is truly important to protect
the habitats animals in our world need to survive, but also the plants and
trees that everyone needs. She even asked all of her fans to donate to this
foundation. In addition, to show that she was giving her full-hearted support,
Sophia ran the 5k in the 2011 San Francisco Marathon to raise money and
awareness for this foundation. Awesome!
Ian
Somerhalder
He
created the Ian Somerhalder Foundation, which works
to educate the world on how to help the planet. Ian’s foundation also works on
projects that support the positive treatment of Earth’s environment and
animals. By working both alone and alongside other earth-friendly companies,
the IS Foundation does its best to help our planet.
Hayden
Panettiere
This
girl will do absolutely anything to protect those she cares about. In this
case, we’re talking about whales! Hayden loves them so much, she’s traveled the
world in protest of whale cruelty, and actively supports the Save The
Whales foundation. This foundation serves to alert people about
animals that live in the water and how to preserve their environment and
lifestyle.
Cameron Diaz
As
an actress who has been in the Hollywood scene for quite some time, Cameron has
learned to use her stardom for the good of the world. She supports many
foundations and causes. One of them? Green Treks, which works to show people all over
the world, using TV and other media forms. the environmental problems that are
currently happening. Not only that, but these productions also showcase
possible solutions to environmental problems. Cool, right?
Leonardo
DiCaprio
He
is good-looking, an awesome actor and has created his own foundation called the
Leonardo
DiCaprio Foundation. Whelp, that’s easy enough to remember! This foundation’s
main purpose? To make sure the future of the earth is a good one. Leo’s
foundation’s goal is to use the power of social media, campaigns and powerful
people to influence the general public in helping their communities and, in
turn, helping out the world as a whole. Yep, if it’s even possible, that Leo’s
gone up a notch in our list of faves.
Pink
Not
only does she have an incredible singing voice, but Pink has a very strong
activist voice, too. She supports many foundations that act to stop animal
cruelty. Along with those foundations, she also supports Greenpeace, which aims
to identify the world’s most important and hard-hitting environmental problems,
then showcasing them to the world in hopes people will take action. Will you
join?
