5 Treehuggers We Want to Hug

Saving the planet can be so tiresome, so it’s nice to know that you’re not alone in your green endeavors. Since green is the new chic, there are many high-profile celebrities helping shoulder the burdens of being green. Today we salute these comrades in arms, or rather, comrades into whose arms we’d like to fall. Here are 5 tree huggers that’ll make you wanna be a tree.

Daryl Hannah

Daryl is the original celebrity tree hugger—or celebri-tree hugger if you will. When she’s not chained to an old-growth walnut tree (oh, the visual), defending the rights of urban farmers or podcasting on the subject of sustainable solutions, she’s driving her bio-diesel Benzo, living in a teepee and causing earth-loving boys to “splash” themselves.

Angelina Jolie

Of course, Angelina is fucking nuts, but she loves the planet. From helping refugees find new homes (or just adopting them) to donating big bucks for sustainable housing in New Orleans, Ms. Jolie puts her money where her mouth is. Now, if I could only put my mouth where her mouth is.

Natalie Portman

Queen of the vegans, animal lover and waste hater extraordinaire, Natalie Portman eschews meat, leather and fur—and she drives a Prius. And besides igniting the lightsabers of Star Wars geeks everywhere, Ms. Portman supplements the diet of the emaciated male vegan population.

Rachel McAdams

Capitalizing on her utter hotness and all-consuming planet love, Rachel McAdams started her own environmental website, greenissexy.org. Best known for sticking our “notebook” pages together, the former mean girl helps the planet by bicycle commuting and planting trees. And, she claims to have an OCD for unplugging anything with a plug. I’m getting the tingles just thinking about that.

Isabel Lucas

What’s not to love about Isabel Lucas—super hot, Australian accent, vegetarian and she has an outstanding arrest warrant Japan! When she’s not raising awareness for the water crisis, climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro or paddling out to save the whales, Ms. Lucas is busy putting the wood in our tree hugging efforts.
