These 5 environmentally aware and active eco-friendly celebs are rocking the green life with sustainable style.
1. Alicia Silverstone
Alicia Silverstone may have played your favorite ‘9os high school romedy character, but she is far from clueless when it comes to eco friendly and green living.
As the founder of sustainable lifestyle platform The Kind Life, Alicia offers up a bevvy of recipes, news on animal rights, eco style tips and reflections on life as an earth loving mama. We especially love her recent blog post on kind winter and fall coats from eco fashion label VAUTE!
2. Emma Watson
Recently lauded for her gender equality speech given to the UN General Assembly, the newly nominated 24-year old Women’s Goodwill Ambassador already has many socially and environmentally aware causes under her belt. Having worked with eco fashion label People Tree, designer Alberta Ferretti and Green Carpet Challenge founder Livia Firth, it’s clear that Miss Watson has a passion for sustainable fashion and the well-being of the earth and its people. Last year she also became an ambassador for Camfed, an organization educating and creating leadership opportunities for girls and women in Africa.
3. Leonardo di Caprio
The Leonardo di Caprio Foundation has been campaigning for the health of our oceans, rainforests, Antarctica and our access to clean water since 1998. He’s been named as the UN Messnger of Peace on Climate Change, and is actively involved in protecting endangered species and humanitarian work. To top it off, this original heartthrob wears the latest in men’s eco chic fashion, supporting made in USA brands. Oh, and apparently his NYC pad is one of the most eco-efficient urban dwellings on the planet. We’d love to be invited over for dinner!
4. Jessica Alba
This Golden Globe-nominated actress is also the founder of The Honest Co., an online platform dedicated to helping moms give their children a healthier and safer life by offering environmentally friendly products for newborns and toddlers. Alba has incorporated eco friendly products and habits into her lifestyle, and is actively involved in charities such as Safer Chemicals Healthy Families, ONE, Habitat for Humanity, Project HOME and more.
5. Adrian Grenier
This eco advocate / blue-eyed babe is so committed to the environment that he launched a show based on the subject called Alter Eco. In 2009 he also joined forces with film producer Peter Glatzer to launch a multi-media platform called SHFT that focuses on sustainably chic living. Mr. Grenier is also a dedicated advocate of animal rights and environmental protection, aiding and volunteering for organizations such as the International Bird Rescue and PETA.

Being an actor and heartthrob just isn’t enough for Entourage star Adrian Grenier: he’s dedicated himself to becoming an eco-advocate too. After contemplating how he could best use his fame to the planet’s advantage, he collected a real-life posse of friends, actors and experts to come together on his environmentally focused TV show, Alter Eco.
The eco-lifestyle and makeover series premiered on Planet Green in 2008, and is still going strong. “It’s a show about finding creative ways to have fun that happen to be good for the environment,” he says. Easy, accessible and creative, the solutions suggested can be applied to our lives in easiest of ways. Check out an episode on Eluxe TV, here.
Yet, in the 21st century, a TV series itself isn’t enough to really connect with an audience, so Adrian and film producer Peter Glatzer joined forces in 2009 to create the multi-media platform, SHFT www.shft.com, whose aim to to allow the public to approach sustainable living in a more accessible format. The website features video, design and fashion inspiration to encourage all-round, better green lifestyles.
Importantly, Adrien doesn’t just make programs about how others can help the environment, but he practices what he preaches too. He’s been active in several eco-campaigns on several issues, ranging from climate change to saving the endangered bluefin tuna, and he’s as green as he can be in his personal life–to site just a few examples, his house is surrounded by plants and trees he dug in himself; he drives a hybrid car, and his home is energised by solar panels.
He even launched a beer business, called the Churchkey Can Co, which offers beer in 100 percent recyclable steel cans, which instead of using pull tabs (which can harm wildlife), use an old-fashioned churchkey instead. Grenier insisted on steel cans because these have a higher recycling rate than aluminium, and because recycled steel saves 75 percent of energy compared to raw materials.
How did this star become so eco-conscious? He cites his mother, who met his father in a commune and ‘was a bit of a hippy,’ as a huge inspiration in his eco-awareness, claiming that she raised him surrounded by greenery (in New Mexico) and always pointed out the importance of clean air, water and living habitats, not just locally, but globally.
Talented, kind, gorgeous and he loves his mama? The man couldn’t be more perfect.
