Brad Pitt Mulls Floating House Concept

Brian Yalung — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 06:25:43 +0000

The “Floating House” idea came from actor Brad Pitt during the post-Katrina New Orleans disaster. And now that the Philippines seems to be technically in the same boat, these floating houses may very well be suited. Pitt and his Make It Right (MIR) foundation are building these floating houses made from eco-friendly materials and it seems that to aid the Filipinos devastated by Typhoon Ondoy, this idea may just work.

The floating houses are built with hollow concrete cubes underneath for buoyancy, while electricity and water are pumped through flexible pipes. Each house costs about $310,000. Perhaps the only thing here right now is affordability. Many of the Filipino people practically lost everything. Do I hear the government stepping in? No personal (graft and corruption mindsets) interests please!

Brian Yalung — Sun, 24 May 2009 18:32:44 +0000

Actor Brad Pitt has been known to take an active role in promoting eco-friendliness and this time around he has partnered with his brother for a green cause. This involves an eco-friendly academic project over at the Drury University where the money will be used to help the university’s sporting arena land an eco-friendly title.

The arena, now the first one to boast of the title, has ‘low-flow water fixtures’, a dedicated recycling area and a solar-reflective roof and pavement materials.

That is quite a lot of money for such a project. However, due to its intent and the continuous support given to eco-friendly promotions and causes, Brad Pitt just couldn’t say no considering the potential of the said Arena which will incidentally be renamed to the William A. Pitt Court to recognize the efforts of the Pitt brothers.

DiCaprio and Winfrey are Eco-Friendliest of the All!

Brian Yalung — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 04:12:46 +0000

Leonardo DiCaprio has always been known to promote the eco-friendly message aggressively and it has garnered him a citation as one of the eco-friendliest celebrities today. He is in good company as well since Oprah Winfrey has likewise been lauded.

DiCaprio beat off male counterparts Bono, Brad Pitt and actor Ed Begley Jr. to top the male category in the survey, which was carried out by GreenDaily.com and Bebo.com, to mark Earth Day today.

Winfrey out-shined Angelina Jolie, Hayden Panettiere, Gwyneth Paltrow and Sir Paul McCartney’s ex-wife Heather Mills to lead the female category.

Meanwhile, Mariah Carey was ruled to be the least environmentally friendly star, following reports she regularly flies her personal trainer from the Caribbean to New York to keep her fit.

John Travolta joined her on the hit list, after research found the qualified pilot generates 800 tons of carbon emissions each year flying around the world.

Sheryl Crow Leads Green Celebrities Going Going Green with the Mercedes-Benz BlueTEC

Brian Yalung — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 05:35:43 +0000

Recording artist Sheryl Crow leads the list of celebrities turning to the new Mercedes Benz BlueTEC cars, preferring luxury rides to go along with their contribution to the green efforts.

Her Mercedes-Benz R320 BlueTEC is one of today’s modern diesel vehicles that are extremely quiet, environmentally clean, and can achieve a range of 500 miles on a single tank of diesel fuel. A benefit of driving a green car like a Mercedes-Benz BlueTEC beyond not sacrificing space or luxury is the IRS alternative-powertrain tax credit.

Owners of new clean diesel vehicles are eligible for the same tax credit as hybrids. The current Diesel Tax Credits for owners of a 2009 Mercedes-Benz BlueTEC are $1,800 for the GL320; $1,550 for the R320; and $900 for the ML320.

According to the EPA, the nation would save 1.4 million barrels of oil a day if just one third of all light-duty vehicles in the USA were state-of-the-art diesel vehicles. The Mercedes-Benz BlueTEC vehicles combine a smooth, quiet ride with fuel efficiency that delivers 20-30 percent higher fuel economy than a comparable gasoline engine making it the GREEN choice for Sheryl Crow and several other celebrities including Kim Cattrall, Billy Baldwin, Kyle MacLachlan, Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber, and Nicole Richie and Joel Madden.

Al Gore Is Back

David Allen — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 08:00:29 +0000

In 2006, the man who use to be the next the President of the United States of America, Al Gore released a film that touched the hearts of many people. It was called An Inconvenient Truth and went on to be a fantastic success.

However, after the dust has settled and the awards have started to lose their shine, what next for Al Gore? The answer should be easy- An Inconvenient Truth 2. The sequel is always the sign of a good movie, but these are not movies as such they are warnings to us. Nevertheless, “Our Choice” will initially be a book although it carries on from where the movie stopped and there have been a lot of changes in environmental and economic matters since 2006!

Jack Nicklaus To Build Eco-Golf Course

David Allen — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 08:00:23 +0000

In the past, the construction of a new golf course required completely ripping up landscapes in order to fit and conform the area to the design and style of the golf course plan. Fortunately, that type of golf course development has been replaced by a more environmentally considerate design.

For instance, take the uninhabited island of Isla Viveros just off the coast of Panama; the entire island is to be turned into the next the big golfing tourist destination. The course has been designed by Jack Nicklaus and is expected to cash something in the region of $300 million, although only four holes are expected to be complete by the middle of 2009.

Often he is referred to as being the force behind Hollywood Green and has been joked about in most comedy shows including the Simpsons and Futurama. Ed Begley Jr has actually done a lot to promote green issues not just to the high rollers in Hollywoodland, but nationwide.

His reward for all of the eco friendly work is an appearance in this Sunday’s episode of the hit animation The Simpsons.

We Have A Hundred Months To Save The Planet

David Allen — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 08:00:55 +0000

A hundred months may not sound that long, it is in fact just under eight and half years in earth time, that is not that long at all. It seems that is all we have to save the earth according to Prince Charles while on his ten day visit to South America.

The Prince is there to highlight the problems facing the planet due to climate change, he will be visiting Brazil, Chile, Ecuador and of course, the Galapagos Islands, some people may say that perhaps the Prince should be looking at his own carbon foot print!

However, this is a serious issue, during a recession one of the first things that goes is green living, sales of organic have fallen and households are using more energy because they are staying in more.

The stars are stepping out to help the people of Wales turn green, new TV adverts that will include the voices of famous Welsh actors Rob Brydon and Daniel Evans. The campaign, which is being funded by the Welsh Assembly, is hoped to show householders who easy it is to make some subtle changes without changing the lifestyle.

Jane Davidson, Minister for Environment, Sustainability and Housing, said, “Climate change was a challenge for everyone.

“This campaign marks a major step in encouraging people in Wales to change their habits,” she said.

“It is the responsibility of everyone, from individuals to big businesses, to do their bit and help reduce our carbon footprint.

“However, taking action doesn’t have to mean radically changing our way of life right now.

“It means taking small steps that contribute to a reducing Wales’s carbon footprint.

“This can be simply turning off your mobile phone charger when you don’t need it or not running the tap as you clean your teeth.”

Better Eco-Friendly Skin Care with H. Maloha

Brian Yalung — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 18:19:50 +0000

There has to be a reason why this Hawaii-based skin care company would be invited to the Emmys and apparently this has something to do with their bionutrient face serum which came in gift bags.

Actually, this was the same company that had distributed the same products during the 2008 MTV Movie Awards last June and owing to the fact that celebrities want the best solutions for their skin care needs.

H. Maloha’s breakthrough serum uses natural and organic ingredients in its serum, containing 29 botanicals, vitamins and antioxidants. The manufacturing of the serum is eco-friendly and it does not use animals in the testing of its product. The serum is 100% paraben free and contains no harsh chemicals, mineral oils, fragrances or other color additives that may harm the skin.

Fertile Waters Behind Kidman’s Pregnancy Success?

Brian Yalung — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 02:30:50 +0000

Nicole Kidman

On whether you may call it a fact or fantasy, the claims made by actress Nicole Kidman of swimming at the Australian Outback Waterfalls as the reason for being a mother may not entirely be believable. It is true that clean and pure water is something that may be good for the body but as for playing a role in pregnancy issues is something any parent will surely doubt in their mind.

Claims that she would never become pregnant may not be entirely true. Nature and environmental conditions may indeed play a minor role but as far as fertile water is concerned, this may certainly go towards the way of being too superstitious. A miracle perhaps?

“I never thought that I would get pregnant and give birth to a child, but it happened on this movie,” Kidman told The Australian Women’s Weekly in an exclusive interview for the magazine’s 75th
anniversary edition, released Wednesday.

“Seven babies were conceived out of this film and only one was a boy. There is something up there in the Kununurra water because we all went swimming in the waterfalls, so we can call it the
fertility waters now.”

“Australia,” directed by Baz Luhrmann, was filmed in Kununurra, a small town in far northern Western Australia state.

Stella McCartney’s Latest Creation

Kate Hudson Slips on Eco-Friendly Hair Care Line

Brian Yalung — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 20:52:44 +0000

While the intention was good, it seems that actress Kate Hudson left out some minor details. In a previous post I made in June, it was announced that Kate Hudson was partnering with hair stylist David Babii to create an eco-friendly hair care line to which the proceeds with go to the WildAid Foundation. Apparently there was something more to it.

An eco-friendly secret formula called “Vanuatu Complex” was reportedly copied and used paving the way for a lawsuit being contested by scientists from 220 laboratories in Los Angeles.

Scientists from 220 Laboratories filed a complaint in Los Angeles against the duo and the manufacturer, claiming that Kate and David stole a secret ecofriendly “Vanuatu Complex” formula from 220 Laboratories and then took it to a competing laboratory for cheaper manufacturing. And when the products popped up, they looked a little too similar to the 220 Laboratories original pitch.

The exact charges include seventeen causes of action, such as fraud, misappropriation of trade secrets, breach of contract, breach of confidence, and more. So far Hudson denies the charges and even knowing the scientists making these claims. She’s shocked! Well, of course she is. Her Golden Girl reputation is on the line. Because unless this debacle settles out of court, it’s one big tangled mess for her image. And that’s never a cute style.

Madonna Tour Hit by Carbonfootprint.com

Material girl Madonna never ceases to amaze the people as she always becomes the center of controversy without her knowing it. Or is she? Well apparently after her 50th birthday, life goes on as far as rendering concerts around the world and while she is gearing up for her next one in Cardiff, Wales, the controversial diva is not spared from how she intends to hold another hit concert.

The group says on its web site that Madonna’s 49-date sojourn will be manned by 250 staff members, including nine wardrobe assistants, 12 seamstresses, a personal trainer and a masseuse. And she isnt’ travelling light. She’ll be packing 30 wardrobe trunks and the tour’s massive stage set will follow her around the world.

The group estimates that Madonna and her entourage will generate more than 1,500 tons of carbon emissions. John Buckley, a spokesman for the group, says Madonna’s management could have done a lot more to safeguard the environment.

To Madonna, it may not matter. But considering her stature, perhaps it would be best to give her carbon footprint trail a second look. She should know by now that the world is watching considering her fame since she made it big and being eco-friendly should be on the top of her list!

Aloe Vera Biodegradable Liquid Body Cleanser from Brad Pitt

Brian Yalung — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 16:19:24 +0000

It looks like Brad Pitt is dead serious in contributing towards the eco-friendly awareness efforts these days. He has added a new product endorsement to the fold, the Aloe Vera Biodegradable Liquid Body Cleanser, a venture to which he has partnered with cosmetics firm Kiehl.

The eco-friendly body wash will be priced at $16.95 to which the proceeds will be given to the JPF Eco Systems, a foundation created to support global environment initiatives that minimize the impact of products on the environment through well planned eco designs.

Aloe Vera Biodegradable Liquid Body Cleanser reportedly doesn’t contain parabens, sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate or dyes. It instead boasts such natural ingredients, as aloe vera, coconut-derived cleansers and glycerin. The product is put in a food-grade, post-consumer recycled bottle. The body wash will be put on sale online and at Kiehl’s counters in department stores and boutiques starting from this coming October.

Popular Celeb Caught in Fur Ad Scandal

Missy — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 21:57:00 +0000

Some celebrities go all out and support various causes and put their money where their mouth is. Then there is Gwyneth Paltrow.

Gwyneth Paltrow Wearing (And Promoting) FUR

Ms. Paltrow who is in the uber popular Summer flick Iron Man, is a vegetarian/vegan who cares about what she puts in her mouth. But apparently doesn’t give a hoot when it comes to fashion that is cruel on animals.

Gwyneth Paltrow is sporting fur in a recent ad campaign for an Italian company called Tod’s. She has caused quite a stir with this move, and i for one don’t get it. It’s not just about the fact that she is wearing FUR, she is promoting FUR.

To me the move is totally un-progressive and is like taking 20 steps back. In a time where celebs are all shooting from the rooftops look at me, “I’m Green”. Gwyneth Paltrow is shouting, look at me, “I Don’t Care”.

“Save the Sea” T Shirts

David Allen — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 14:00:02 +0000

“Save the Sea” is probably one of the most under estimated statements around, and yet its appearance on T Shirts has had an enormous effect on the way that people think about what is happening out there in our oceans and seas.

Designed by Katherine Hamnett, the renowned eco designer her input into this task has brought the problem of what is happening to the seas of the world onto the covers of newspapers and magazines simply because celebrities are wearing them, which is the best way to get the message across to the desired audience.

Pope in Trouble with Anti Fur Protestors

David Allen — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 15:00:15 +0000

It must be difficult for someone like the Pope who has to live by traditions and rules, especially when he is being put under the spotlight for simply wearing the robes of office. These are sometimes trimmed with fur, which naturally is going to be real fur.

This has caused anti fur campaigners to launch an online petition appealing to the Pope not to wear his fur trimmed robes. The Italian Association for Defence of Animals and the Environment has managed to attract 2,260 signatures so far, so they do have some support in their campaign.

Hilton Hints Green

Brian Yalung — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 07:44:58 +0000

Though Paris Hilton has been into a lot of controversies lately, her eco-friendly awareness and drives are something to be left out in the cold. While she loves to be in the spotlight where issues and debates are concerned, Hilton typifies the maturity of knowing when to contribute to the environment and world concerns of eco-friendly issues at hand.

To prove it, she was recently seen at a Denmark excursion wearing a “Think Green” t-shirt. Caught by the English Paparazzi, you have to wonder if she really wears it to promote green or because she has nothing better to wear.

For conservative purposes, let us say that Paris Hilton has grown up!

David Allen — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 15:00:11 +0000

The Hollywood actress Jamie Lee Curtis has finally got her hands on the new Honda FCX Clarity Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle to become only the second celebrity to drive one of these fantastic looking cars. It actually looks too cool to be green!

She said: “I really wasn’t expecting it to be so luxurious,” said Curtis. “It’s luxurious, luxurious, luxurious! I love the interior layout, design and access to controls. It is user-friendly and very modern.”

The car has been leased at $600 per month, which is not bad either and just goes to show that anyone can afford an up to date green machine.

Las Vegas to go green

David Allen — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 05:13:56 +0000

It may seem to be something of an understatement, but yes the folks over at Las Vegas have decided that they will finally be going green by building some seriously eco friendly buildings along the Las Vegas Strip.

With over fifty million square feet of building work going on but all being built to LEED standards, naturally this is not really going to make things better, but these new buildings are not going to make things worse either, which has to be good thing doesn’t it?

Guess who is the next celebrity making a pitch at eco-friendly investments. Controversial yet popular actress Pamela Anderson is putting up an eco-friendly hotel in Abu Dhabi after her recent trip for the Make a Wish Foundation Charity after being persuaded by the royal family to become a hotelier there.

Being the environmental conscious person that she is, this is Anderson’s part of giving back to the environment, putting an eco-friendly investment like other popular stars have done before her like Brad Pitt.

She reveals, “I’m building a hotel there. It’s environmentally friendly. I went there with the Make a Wish Foundation and met some great people there, and the royal family was really friendly.”
And the environmentally-conscious star insists the hotel is kind to the earth: “It’s built with no fossil fuel at all….in Abu Dhabi – where they have all that oil.”

If you talk about sustainable transportation these days it will point towards the healthy and pollution free assistance of good old bicycles.

Meet the Eco-friendly “Bag Lady” Diane Lane

Brian Yalung — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 18:16:10 +0000

For being among the many people who have started to make good use of reusable shopping bags, Oscar-nominated actress Diane Lane has garnered the tag “the Bag Lady”. But don’t let that fool you. She is aiming more than just showing that she is an eco-friendly shopper.

For her part, she is also aiming to devise a way to spread the word on how to eat sustainable via the fish we eat. Apparently this stems from trying to satisfy two issues at hand: the sea creatures that serve as our food and trying to help these sea creatures such as whales and walruses continue to exist as well.

We all know that their existence is playing along the lines of extinction and through the efforts of such people as Diane Lane, we can be more educated and aware of health and environmentally friendly issues present today.

The eco friendly wedding dress

David Allen — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 11:00:09 +0000

No matter how much you try it is very difficult to have an entirely green wedding, there is just too much going on. But what you can do is try and make some of the things that stand out and make a lasting impression on people as green as possible.

This can even include the wedding dress itself; this centre piece can be fairly eco friendly without losing any of its style or chic. One particular designer who is great at making eco friendly wedding dresses is Deborah Lindquist. She uses organic cotton, hemp, recycled materials and vintage silk.
