The Green Room: Pitt's Prius
Posted by Joshua W. Jackson on November 10, 2006 - 4:57am.

Before the election on Tuesday, Brad Pitt stumped for environmental legislation in California alongside Julia Roberts and Alyssa Milano. Pitt showed up in a new blue Prius he also drove to the premiere of Babel. "It wouldn't have looked too good if he had turned up in a huge limo..." one onlooker observed. It remains unclear whether that onlooker was there for the political event or the meeting of the No Duh Club that was taking place immediately following.

Al Gore, Laurie David, and friends are reportedly sending out copies of the smash hit global warming documentary An Inconvenient Truth in an eco-friendly mailing container that can be grown into basil. Unfortunately, some find the enviro-envelope to be off-putting. Supporters of the film say it's a good thing they didn't make the mailers out of other creative, organic, and biodegradable matter such as recycled Kleenex, deceased composting worms, or Al Gore's beard clippings

Daniel Baldwin, known as "the drugged up, angry one," was arrested in Santa Monica after tooling around in a stolen SUV. Environmentalists are annoyed that Baldwin didn't steal a more efficient car, but many pop culture experts say that the image of Daniel Baldwin in a gas-guzzler may finally make SUVs uncool.

The Environmental Media Awards were held in Los Angeles this week, and the star-studded event was attended by Wilmer Valderrama, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, members of The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Nicole Richie. Given Richie's seemingly non-existent environmental record, it seems clear that she was happy just to be allowed in to an awards show of any type.

Pamela Anderson, noted PETA activist, has signed on for a new movie in which her character has a pampered pet turtle, but has demanded that no real turtles be used in the filming of the picture. "It's an animal friendly set. That battle was won," Anderson said. Her declaration was met with thousands of disappointed sighs from the male turtle community.

Interests: Horseback riding, watching the silence of the snow, obviously anything creative, cooking
Inspiration: Like most of you, when I heard of recycling to save the earth, I naturally assumed I needed to separate my plastics, newspapers and glass. I was helping. That was all I needed to do. Then one day, I was searching around for something fun, some art, and I came across this abstract piece. It was gorgeous - it looked like a naturally formed wave of icy white water bursting into the air. When I looked closer at it, I saw that it was made from recycled plastic caps. I was in shock. What kind of imagination and talent does that take to look at a plastic cap and see more to it then what it actually is? How can someone be so ingenious that they can take something that we normally throw away and create such a piece of beauty with it? This is the thought process that I could not stop pondering and it took over my mind, body and soul and soon enough became my muse. I began Earth's Journey for this reason. I wanted to show the world that there was more to saving the earth than just recycling. There is beauty in things we can't even imagine, and so many ways to help our planet flourish. There are products out there that we all could use to completely decorate, furnish and run a home... all environmentally safe. You can buy organic bedding, non-toxic cleaning detergents, solar power, or make a change in a small way by using energy-efficient light bulbs. But the best part of recycling and being eco-friendly is the beauty that you'll find here, with all of our different artisans. As you can see I'm very passionate about this type of artistic creativity, and I hope you will be too. I invite you to sit back, relax and ... Be Inspired by Green!
