The Green Quote: Susan Sarandon On Her Activism

Filed under: green and famous — michael @ 6:40 pm

“Sometimes I don’t even understand the ramifications of what I say; all I know is that I just can’t live with myself if I don’t say something. I’m aware that I’ve become some kind of joke in terms of my activism but it’s not something I can worry about. You have to prioritize. And it’s not like my activism is something recent. I come from a generation where, growing up, if you had half a brain in your head and half a heart, you were automatically active.”

–Actress Susan Sarandon in a recent interview with The Independent

Filed under: campaigns — michael @ 2:43 pm

In the wake of tumultuous controversy surrounding her Vanity Fair photo shoot, actress/singer Miley Cyrus has kept a low profile — but that doesn’t mean she’s not out there putting her fame to good use. The 15-year-old recently teamed up with her mother, Trish Cyrus, to help out a charity women battling breast cancer. From the article,

“The Libby Ross Foundation said Miley and Trish Cyrus were among a list of celebrity mothers and daughters helping raise funds for the charity by decorating yoga bags with Swarovski jewels that will be listed on eBay for sale from May 5-15. Other celebrities duos include Susan Sarandon and daughter Eva Amurri and Hayden Panettiere and her mother Lesley Panattiere.”

Interested in picking up one of these yoga bags (your friends will swoon!), jump here to take a look at the auction. Miley’s is currently up to $102. The auction ends May 15th.

Michael Jackson Adds “Green” To His List Of Many Colors

Filed under: green and famous — parrish @ 11:07 am

The multi-color, technicolor King of Pop has finally made that essential leap onto the green bandwagon. This weekend, Michael Jackson was seen scooting about town (or rather being scooted about town) in a fancy new Toyota Prius. Jackson has long since had a reputation for being a bit of a thorn in the side of Mother Earth. You know, owning private jets, massive mansions, his own amusement park…that whole bag. And I must say, it’s refreshing to finally see Jackson take a step in the green direction.

Jackson joins a goggle of other celebrities such as Cameron Diaz, Harrison Ford, Jennifer Aniston and Will Ferrell, who have all been seen rocking a cleaner driving ride.  Say what you want about the guy, but I must give credit where credit is due.

So Michael Jackson, a message from me to you: stay out of trouble and keep on chuggin away in that sweet, green machine.
