Celebrities Who Drive Green to Save our Earth

When it comes to the environment, sustainability is the new thing. Being green means doing anything in your power to save natural resources, especially fuel energies. You can become greener by following the footsteps of five great celebrities who drive green to save our earth.

Woody Harrelson, 46, drives a 2000 Volkswagen Beetle TDI. Running on bio-diesel fuel, Harrelson upgrades to a greener vehicle in more than one way. Volkswagen Parts are now becoming more energy and cost efficient which will make it easier for the general public to drive green. Harrelson has multiplied his efforts to stay green by co-founding the enviro-site VoiceYourself.com which urges its readers to find an alternative fuel, seek out sustainable clothing, and use all-natural cleansers in their every day lives.

Ryan Gosling who is 27 years of age drives a black Toyota Prius. Gosling who was the heartthrob of the highly successful film, “The Notebook” is definitely a green guy. Ever since taking part in a documentary filmed in Africa, he has spoken on behalf of Darfar refugee camps discussing their unfavorable, and inhuman conditions. In 2007, Gosling wore a special pin at the Oscars in support of the Amnesty International’s campaign for a more humane and authentic diamond trade.

America Ferrera who is 23 also drives a 2007 Toyota Prius. Actually, the young star won the Prius while taking part in an auction, buying it for ,000 which is about ,000 over its market value. The remainder of the money went to charities which benefit AIDS victims. This girl is super green. Her Prius is conveniently parked in her garage right next to her equally friendly Toyota Highlander.

Paris Hilton is 27 years of age and she drives a 2008 GMC Yukon Hybrid. She told Newsday of her own birthday present purchase that it’s “The little things that people can do everyday to make a huge difference.” This was stated after she explained how she changed all the light bulbs of her vehicle over to energy efficient light bulbs instead. She also owns more than one hybrid vehicle.

Danny DeVito, 63, is yet another celebrity who owns a black Toyota Prius. Before this purchase, DeVito was leasing an EV1, which was a very rare electric vehicle manufactured by General Motors. In 2003, he followed the Hollywood trend and purchased a Prius instead.

If that doesn’t make you want to go out and buy a brand new Pruis, I don’t know what will. Further the green initiative and do what you can to save the earth.
