The Green Quote: Alison Sweeney on the Little Things

Filed under: green and famous, healthy living, interviews — sara @ 5:33 pm

“People get caught up in saving the world. But I think the little things are just as important. We’re big on recycling at my house. My son Ben is three and understands the concept of recycling. We sing little recycling songs that he learned at his preschool. We turn the lights out when we leave a room. Then there’s just taking off your shoes when you go in a room so you don’t have to vacuum as much or use as many cleaning products. All those little things make a difference. Instead of using cleaning agents, you can mix water with vinegar and clean with that. It saves money, helps the environment because you don’t use plastic bottles and it helps your baby stay healthy.”"

Hots Nancy O’Dell of Access Hollywood and Samantha Harris of “Dancing with the Stars” kicked off the two-week long Isabella Oliver Celebrity Maternity Fashion Auction yesterday to benefit the Clothes Off Our Back Foundation. Founded by Jane Kaczmarek and Bradley Whitford, the foundation holds celeb charity auctions to benefit children’s programs. This year’s programs include America’s Second Harvest, The Art of Elysium, H.E.L.P. Malawi and Hope North.

While there were many famous faces at the kickoff tea and fashion event, including Denise Richards, Alison Sweeney, Julie Benz, and Anne Dudek, the list of stars who gave up some threads for charity is even more impressive. Along with garb given by many of the launch attendees, donations include a maternity top from Gwen Stefani, a wrap dress from Melissa Joan Hart, and items from Lindsay Lohan, Teri Hatcher, Julianna Margulies, Jenna Elfman and others.

Bidding continues until August 27. For more info, click here.
