Stars Come Down to Earth

Not surprisingly, now that environmentalism is ‘hot’, the stars are coming out in support of various green causes. Of course some notable celebrities have long shined light on various aspects of the environmental movement (Leo, Darryl, and Woody, I’m talkin’ about you!)

So I was really excited when I found out that two smart folks had joined my US Magazine reading self (only online! I swear!), and green obsessive self on a new site. Ecorazzi gossips about stars do-greening all over the place, and offers plenty of funny and snarky commentary. Those celebs that do the green thing deserve recognition, and Ecorazzi gives it to them.
