“Every light bulb is a compact fluorescent. We have a big recycling program. We tried to get rid of water bottles last year and failed at it. It’s a tricky thing to do with a crew, but we’re going to try it again this year.”

The Natural Resources Defense Council’s Southern California office is celebrating its 20th anniversary next week — and the guest list features some heavy A-list talent coming out to offer congratulations.

Hosted by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and taking place at the Beverly Wilshire on April 25th, the event will be attended by both Robert Redford and Leonardo DiCaprio; among other celebrities, activists, and supporters. Maroon 5 will supply the live music and Rosanna Arquette will DJ the after-party. A short film featuring DiCaprio and Redford that outlines the accomplishments of NRDC’s Southern California office will also be shown.

“You can be tough doing bad things, and tough doing good things. NRDC, in my opinion, is tough doing good things,” Redford said in a statement. DiCaprio, also a trustee, called NRDC “probably the most effective environmental organization in the world. It is willing to take on major corporations and the government itself to hold them accountable for the environmental policy that’s out there,” he said in a statement.

Stars Step Out For 18th Annual Environmental Media Awards

Last night, celebs rolled up in hybrid cars and wore eco-friendly fashion down the red carpet at the 18th annual Environmental Media Awards. Some of the stars seen at the Ebell Theatre included Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Rosario Dawson, Nicole Richie, Joel Madden, Lance Bass, Maria Bello, Amy Smart and Wilmer Valderrama.

Actress Amy Smart, who was dressed in a lovely eco-friendly black gown, says she’s been inspired to go green in her own life. “Once we all realized that there’s been so much destruction and pollution — especially once Al Gore came out with An Inconvenient Truth, and then realizing that the last 8 years, the Bush administration hasn’t done anything about it — it’s now become everyone’s responsibility. I don’t care how much money you make, I don’t care where you live — it’s really easy to be green. You can find products at grocery stores everywhere, now.”

Julia Louis-Dreyfus talked about her hybrid car, the solar panels she has installed in her home and her happiness over the outcome of the election. “I think we all know now that the environmental movement is here to stay. And that global warming is real. And I’m so thrilled that we have president elect Barack Obama who does believe that global warming is a true issue,” she said.

It’s awesome how so many celebrities are realizing how much power they have to inspire people to do the right thing. As former N-Syncer Lance Bass told USA Today, they feel like they have a responsibility to take action because the world is watching.

Indeed, we are watching – and proud to see how much good is being done!

The Green Quote: Dreyfus Gets Upstaged By Longoria On Picket Line

Michael d'Estries — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 14:29:05 +0000

“It was very thrilling for me and then out comes Eva Longoria and she comes off of the shoot and she walks outside and she stands up there…in full hair and make-up.”I’m in my yoga pants and my solar power T-shirt, I look like a hag…activist type.” She (Longoria) starts talking to the writers and saying how she’s so upset and she doesn’t wish to be doing this but she’s caught between a rock and a hard place and she starts to cry. ”I was the girl for, like, an hour and then all of a sudden… everyone’s heart is breaking for Eva – and then she delivered pizza to everybody.” There were cameras there and I didn’t have any make-up on – not even chapstick.”
