Celebrities go off the grid
This is a list that TreeHugger.com put together last month, but I thought it was kinda fun taking-a-break-from-work reading.
It's all about the celebrities with the greenest homes -- and not just the ones who drive a hybrid and think that offsets the five houses they own.
The greenies include Johnny Depp, who has an estate that runs on solar-hydrogen power and Julie Louis-Dreyfus and Brad Hall, who have a retractable roof that simulates airflow and negates the need for air conditioning.
Darryl Hannah, who has a solar-powered converted stagecoach house. There are others, too. Try and guess. Think Pirates of the Caribbean, Battlestar Galactica and Pretty Woman.
Has it become downright trendy to go green? Will fans follow suit, if possible on their non-celebrity budgets? Do compact flourescent lightbulbs count?
