Hollywood Celebrities are Letting Their Voices be Heard and Making Environmentalism Fashionable

Hollywood celebrities are not just letting their voices be heard but they are also making environmentalism fashionable.

New York, NY (PRWEB) April 16, 2007 -- Celebrities have been forerunners of promoting awareness of environmental issues for years now. Global warming is a major issue that has been ignored for years and is finally getting the attention it needs. Scientists are agreeing across the board that Global Warming IS a very serious issue. Elena Castaneda, president of New York Image Consultant (http://newyorkimageconsultant.com), one of the biggest image consulting firms in New York City says, "Celebrities need to be vocal and take action in order for the public to take these issues seriously too. The public looks to celebrities for more than just entertainment these days. They look up to them, they learn from them."

Just last week Vanity Fair released it's 2nd ever "Green Issue", just about two weeks before Earth Day. The issue highlights some of Hollywood's most vocal environmental advocates and discusses where they stand on all things "green". From Julia Robert's new-found voice with environmental issues, an update from Al Gore about his eye-opening and jaw dropping documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth," Leonardo Dicaprio's new documentary, "The 11th Hour," and the leading men of environmentalism, George Clooney and Robert Redford's endless efforts of raising awareness of major issues our planet is and will be facing in the near future. Even though this issue was their 2nd "Green Issue", according to Treehugger.com, the printed magazine still doesn't contain recycled content.

Amanda Sanders from New York Image Consultant (http://newyorkimageconsultant.com) says, "Some celebrities who aren't as vocal about global awareness are taking a more fashionable approach to environmentalism. Not only are they wearing clothing made solely from soy beans or hemp, such as the beautiful actress Rachel McAdams, they have made elemental jewelry one of the biggest new trends of 2007. A lot of the leading ladies in Hollywood love to show their support of Mother Nature by wearing jewelry shaped in symbols of the earth's elements such as leaves, feathers, starfish, and another hot new trend, peace symbols.
