Going Green

The big chauffeured-car days of Hollywood are gone.  They've been replaced instead by Prius-driving, environmentally-conscious celebrities.  Some A-listers have been rocking the "green" thing for a while now and others have just recently jumped on the bandwagon.  Check out which of your favorite stars are eco-friendly.


Leonardo DiCaprio – Leo is one of the original eco-crusaders of his generation in Hollywood.  He's produced an environmental documentary called "The 11th Hour" and has a foundation focused on global warming, renewable energy, and other eco-initiatives.


Hayden Panettiere – This 'hero' is all about the animals. Hayden recently helped stage a protest against the annual dolphin slaughter in Japan. And earlier this week, she presented at the Weather Channel's Forecast Earth Summit in Washington, D.C.


Michael Stipe – The REM frontman has been busier with his charity work lately than with his musical career, it seems.  Michael may have lost his religion, but he's trying to make sure we don't lose our planet – the singer is a supporter of the environmental group Greenpeace.


Rosario Dawson – Rosario is in good company with the eco-organization Global Cool.  She joins Josh Hartnett, Orlando Bloom, and Sienna Miller, among others, in supporting the anti-global warming group.


Who's your favorite famous eco-warrior?
