The 12 Most Eco-Friendly Star Couples
Jessica Alba and Cash Warren Newlyweds Jessica Alba and Cash Warren are determined to raise their newborn daughter in a green household. Not only has Alba stocked up on organic-cotton onesies, she's also doing eco-friendly renovations on the new family's home. "I would like to see a cleaner earth for my child," Alba said recently. Milo Ventimiglia and Hayden Panettiere Onset romancers Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia have more than just their leading roles on Heroes in common. Both stars are staunch vegetarians and Panettiere recently risked arrest to protest the killing of dolphins in Japan. As a result, Ventimiglia watched the petite actress get honored by the Humane Society with their Gretchen Wyler Award for activism. Cate Blanchett and Andrew Upton Aussie actress Cate Blanchett and her playwright husband, Andrew Uptown were hired as Creative Directors of the Sydney Theatre Company, but they are determined to change the organization inside and out. The parents of three recently pledged to use solar panels and gathered rainwater in order to take the building off the grid. And they practice what they preach at home—their Sydney mansion recently underwent an extensive greenification. Adrian Grenier and Isabel Lucas Entourage heartthrob Adrien Grenier and girlfriend Isabel Lucas are a match made in hippie heaven. The actress has joined Hayden Panettiere in the movement to save the whales, while Grenier has spoken out in support of everything from eco-friendly building (his Brooklyn home is equipped with solar panels) to alternative energy sources to vintage clothes recycling. The couple both star in Grenier's Alter Eco show on the Planet Green network. Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry New parents Halle Berry and Calvin Klein model boyfriend Gabriel Aubry are raising a green baby! Berry spent a reported $60,000 on her environmentally-friendly nurseries which she stocked with organic cotton baby clothes. Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen Jumper stars Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen may not discuss their relationship, but they are happy to talk about causes like Aeropostale's recent Jeans for Teens recycling campaign. Christensen recently bought an organic farm in his native Canada, and Bilson, along with line-drying her favorite vintage clothes, has incorporated environmentally-friendly habits into her daily life. "I try to be as green as I can," Bilson told the Metro newspaper. "Little things count, like recycling and driving my hybrid car." Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O'Connell Ugly Betty star Rebecca Romijn and actor spouse Jerry O'Connell eschew a Hollywood-friendly car and driver—this couple shares a Prius. Indeed, the newlyweds as committed to each other as they are to the environment: "My mom brought us a purified water system for our wedding present," Romijn told a Bay Area publication. "And Jerry decided to put solar panels in [our house]." Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are often lauded for their family-building skills, but the couple is just as dedicated to building green communities. Following his support of the green rebuilding efforts for New Orleans as part of the Make It Right NOLA project, Pitt recently announced his plan to join a panel of consultants to build an environmentally-friendly luxury hotel in Dubai. Bono and Ali Hewson Humanitarian hero Bono and designer wife Ali Hewson were at the forefront of green fashion with their organic Edun line. The celebrity designers donate profits from the line to promote sustainable communities in impoverished countries. Still, even Bono feels less than green when pal Al Gore is around. "He's been 'round my house and there was a little bit of, 'Here's the recycler, Al!' I’ve got a posh car but, 'It runs on ethanol, Al!'" joked Bono to the London Guardian newspaper. Tobey Maguire and Jennifer Meyer Toby Maguire and jewelry designer wife Jennifer Meyer have a no-meat home. “I’ve been a vegetarian for 14 years now,” Maguire told Parade. “I don’t judge people who eat meat—that’s not for me to say—but the whole thing just sort of bums me out.” Maguire's example on the set of the upcoming flick, Brothers, led costar Natalie Portman to become a vegan. Keira Knightley and Rupert Friend Laid-back couple Keira Knightley and Rupert Friend love to shop their local farmer's market, and the duo has been spotted toting their organic purchases in reusable bags. Knightley also frequents green-friendly events like the 02 Wireless Festival (which she attended with pal Sienna Miller). Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey Funnyman Jim Carrey and funnywoman Jenny McCarthy recently rallied on Capitol Hill calling for the removal of toxins from children's vaccines (which have been alleged to cause autism). The couple have been inspired by McCarthy's son Evan Asher, who suffers from the condition. Source: http://www.instyle.com/instyle/home/0,,,00.html
