 Vegan Celebs Rally To Save The Planet With Some Effective Endorsements


Ever since Al Gore's 2006 Oscar-winning movie "An Inconvenient Truth" put climate warming at the centre of pop-culture, celebs have scrambled aboard the green campaign by the score.

From the Band Aid concerts to raise funds against famine in Ethiopia, to George Clooney's single-handed crusade against the war in Darfur, and Bono and Bob Geldof's drive against poverty, celebrity advocacy can work.

"We're not just a tree-hugging group, we're the wave of the future," said Kate Bosworth at an Oscars pre-party bash organised by a group called Global Green this year.

"Now it's a central movement that's meant to inspire future generations," said the movie star, in a Loewe dress and Chanel jewellery for an event that drew the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Orlando Bloom, Penelope Cruz and Rosario Dawson.

So Peter Fonda is promoting a solar-powered car and Larry Hagman -- best known as J.R., the ruthless oil baron on "Dallas" -- claims to own the nation's largest residential solar powered system... and drive a Toyota Prius Hybrid car and an electric Dodge Gem.

Warming is the new "villain" in the piece in eco-blockbusters rolling out of Hollywood, like Roland Emmerich's "2012" or his "The Day After Tomorrow".

And after shunning the genre for 40 years, Disney this year returned to big-screen nature movies with "Earth", the first of a yearly series of green-friendly titles.
