Celebrities Go Green

In Health lately, we have investigated how celebrities (in this case, musicians), can be poor role models when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle. In honour of Earth Day this week, we are going to look at the flip side. Your task is to find and compile a list of “green” celebrities. Aim to find individuals who raise awareness for environmental causes or have even started their own related charities. In class, I'll provide you with the example of a Canadian-born star of ABC's Castle. Here are a few links to get you started.
