Hollywood Green

Theres something turning "green" in Hollywood and for once it doesn't have to do with smog. More and more A list celebrities are "going green" and turning there mega mansions into renewable energy palaces. From Johnny Depp to Elaine from Seinfeld the concept of renewable energy is being utilized by many eco friendly Hollywood types. Lets take a look at a few of the most "green" celebrities.



Johnny Depp's Caribbean hideout is is being totally powered by solar-hydrogen power. All 35 acres of it. The "mad hatter" has taken time out of filming Alice in Wonderland to employ Mike Strizki
to engineer the project. Johnny's Pirates of the Cari bean co-star Orlando Bloom is also riding the "green" wave. I think that Capt. Jack Sparrow had some influence on Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) when he constructed his London abode. The project includes solar electricity and energy efficient light bulbs. Compact florescent I presume.



Julia Louis Dreyfus of Seinfeld fame has aways been eco-conscious. Her home in Santa Barbra boasts a retractable roof that provides daylighitng to limit the use electricity consuming lighting fixtures and solar heat that is put back in the grid.

I hope that this is one celebrity trend that Americans will follow in droves. Celebrities are used for all forms of branding and marketing perhaps we could get Johnny Depp or Ed Begley Jr to be the face of Canadian Solar or Tough Trac mounting racks. I think its time we get Elaine from Seinfeld to do a commercial describing how the federal rebates are offered. I'm just happy that going "green" is going Hollywood.
