Spotlight on Green Celebrities – Cameron Diaz

Cameron Diaz is just one of our favorite green celebrities.  It’s apparent that she truly tries to make a difference when it comes to making our planet a priority.  She recently told ABCNews.com,

“It’s a great position to be in, but it’s a scary one. As you want to be thoughtful and not just go for the trend. You don’t want people to jump onboard because it’s popular — you want people to be vested in it.”

And vested in it she is! The There’s Something About Mary actress drives a Prius hybrid, recycles, uses offsets for carbon neutral travel and is mindful of choosing beneficial products, like those that contain recycled materials.

The actress joined Al Gore in 2007 for the Save Our Selves (SOS) – The Campaign for a Climate in Crisis initiative and was even a part of MTV’s Trippin, a show that followed Cameron and friends as they traveled the world and learned about the importance of protecting the environment.  She says,

“I love the environment, It’s something I feel very strongly about. I’m a consumer and have everything I’ve always wanted, so I’ve looked into ways to consume without being damaging to the environment.”

And we love that you’re setting a great example for so many of us to follow, Cameron!
