Alicia Silverstone

Voted as the "sexiest female vegetarian" back in 2004, Alicia Silverstone has been an animal lover and a strong advocate of eco-friendly living since literally forever. A strict vegan, this Hollywood hottie has sworn off leather, fur, and any food coming from animals, including milk and honey. Interestingly, her four rescued pet dogs are vegans too! She lives with her musician husband Christopher Jarecki in a solar-paneled eco-friendly home in Los Angeles, complete with an organic veggie garden. She drives around town in a Toyota Prius, and economic and eco-friendly car that not only features an emissions-free electronic motor, but also gives better mileage than standard cars. What's more, Alicia's and Christopher's wedding was an eco-friendly affair too – complete with organic food, organic flowers, and recycled invitations!

Leonardo DiCaprio

When this gorgeous "Titanic" star is not acting in movies or melting hearts of his female fans with his irresistible looks, he is busy doing his bit for the green movement. Besides his good looks, and his exceptional acting skills, Leonardo DiCaprio is known for the terrific job he has been doing as an environmentalist. He is best known for having narrated, produced, and co-written ''The 11th Hour", a film on global warming and climate change. He has also established the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation which helps raise awareness on a variety of environmental issues including renewable energy, forest preservation, access to clean water, keeping oceans healthy, and other humanitarian issues.

Oh and yes, like Alicia Silverstone, Leo also drives around in a Toyota Prius, and has pledged not to use private jets.

Ed Norton

When the "Incredible Hulk" star is not flexing his green muscles for his movies, he is often seen going green in his daily life too! The actor has been involved in a wide range of green initiatives, including his work as the United Nations Goodwill Ambassador for Biodiversity. His interest in helping low income families go green made him partner BP's Solar Neighbors program, according to which, every time a  celebrity purchases a solar panel system, BP donates a similar panel to a needy, low-income family in Los Angeles. Norton has even hosted a National Geographic series called "Strange Days on Planet Earth", and has also been actively working for groups like Earthjustice and The Wilderness Society. What's more, not only Ed, but also his father and grandparents have been working on projects dedicated towards nature conservation and green housing.
