Global Green USA is once again providing green vehicles to the stars to the Oscars. Celebrities using Global Green arrive in green hybrids and electric cars instead of limos. Global Green just released this statement that lists some of the stars that will be arriving in green cars.
To shine the light on solutions to climate change and lend their star power to the problem of global warming, some of the world’s biggest celebrities are choosing to arrive at the Academy Awards in ‘green cars’. Instead of stretch limos or SUV’s, they’ll be arriving in eco-friendly hybrids, electric sports cars and other green vehicles. Celebrities and notable individuals participating this year include: Leonardo DiCaprio, Penelope Cruz, Forest Whittaker, Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst, Ryan Gosling, Gwyneth Paltrow, Al and Tipper Gore, Melissa Etheridge, Davis Guggenheim and Elisabeth Shue, Larry and Laurie David, Lawrence Bender, Scott Z. Burns, Lesley Chilcott.
"Global warming is threatening us all" said Oscar nominee and Global Green supporter Penelope Cruz. "Fortunately, there are many simple things we can all do such as driving greener cars or changing to compact fluorescent light bulbs, which can dramatically save energy and reduce global warming pollution."
One of the vehicles available for the stars to arrive in is the much discussed Tesla Roadster, an electric sports car.
This year, Global Green is highlighting the increased choice in eco-friendly cars as examples of the directions automakers can head. A plug-in Prius that gets 100 mpg, the Tesla Roadster, an electric sports car, and Compressed Natural Gas vehicles are included in the green fleet. The Red Carpet/Green Cars Oscar campaign kicked-off Wednesday night with a pre-Oscar Party at the Avalon Hollywood to raise funds and awareness for Global Green’s smart global warming solutions: clean cars and green buildings.
Edmunds says that George Clooney is one of the celebs that owns a Tesla Roadster and that actress Penelope Cruz might even arrive at the Oscar in one. TheCarConnections says Al Gore is likely to ride up in one as well. More discussion of the green car theme at the Oscars can be found at Fast Company, The Detroit News and Ecorazzi.
