Green is everybody: Find out who has joined the club!

We often hear gossips about celebrity’s scandals, pitfalls and embarrassing moments.  But the media usually doesn’t give the same coverage to celebrity’s inspirational habits and positive daily routines.  In my opinion, we should give more credit to the celebrities that can be good role models. In fact, some Hollywood stars are going green and they are making impressive changes to their daily routines to help Mother Earth.

The new cast of the 90210 show goes green by using natural products, recycling and by driving hybrid cars – one of the strongest trends in Hollywood. But a new trend is slowly building—one that looks to the natural beauty of organic jewelry. Many fashion designers say that earthy, organic jewelry is the Next Big Thing. Madonna and Britney Spears have been photographed recently wearing earthy and healing jewelry.

There are also other stars who have adopted an eco-smart lifestyle. Among them are Julia Roberts, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Aniston.

Julia Roberts has declared that though she had considered herself fairly eco-savvy, she still felt she wasn’t doing enough to protect her family — or her planet. She wants her three kids to be healthy, conscientious people.  Then, she found Sophie Uliano, the author of the book Gorgeously Green, who quickly became Julia’s go-to “green guru” for advice on living green while looking great.

While most people can’t be as lucky as Julia Roberts and have a green guru guide them toward healthier living, even the easiest changes can make a big difference — from more radiant skin to cleaner countertops. Going green doesn’t have to mean single-handedly saving the Earth. Instead, it can be just reading a label, thinking a little, and making new choices. Here, Jennifer Aniston  and Gwyneth Paltrow share their healthiest habits and biggest breakthroughs.

“Some things are important for the world to know…like how long I shower. Seriously. I take a three-minute shower. I even brush/wash — brush my teeth while I shower. Here’s why: I learned that every two minutes in the shower uses as much water as a person in Africa uses for everything in their life for a whole day — drinking, bathing, cooking, and cleaning — everything!” Jennifer Aniston says. “When you become aware of all the things you do, and the effect those things have, you want to make small changes … When I found out that my cell phone charger still uses energy when it’s plugged in and it’s not being used, I began unplugging it. It all goes back to awareness and knowing better and then making a simple shift in habit. Eventually, it just becomes second nature. If we all begin to learn from one another and share some of the things we do, we just might be able to affect the world for the better through these little rituals.”

“My mom has always been conscious of the environment and health issues.” Gwyneth Paltrow said recently “When I was growing up, we would go to farmers’ markets and even had wheatgrass in the kitchen. She started a curbside recycling program in Santa Monica, CA, in the seventies, and each week I drove with her to the recycling center. Now, we also do other things to protect our family’s health, from installing a water-filtration system to using nontoxic shampoos. I try to open the windows in the day — an old-fashioned airing out — even in winter, because the air inside the house is often more polluted than the air outside.”
