Celebrities Who are Helping Protect our Environment

With millions of every-day people doing incredible things to help support and care for our planet, we often do not think about the celebrities who are actively partaking in this fight as well! Many will read that opening line and think, “well they’re probably just donating money” and whereas yes, they absolutely are, there are also many celebrities who are doing so much more!

Leonardo DiCaprio

The award-winning actor is about more than just his time on the big silver screen and money in his bank account. Leonardo DiCaprio is an avid climate change activist who has traveled to numerous countries to help raise awareness of what is happening to our world, why it is important, and how we can help! He has also traveled to countries such as Indonesia to promote the protection of rainforests, which provide the bulk of our planet’s oxygen. If we continue to allow deforestation, we are continuing allow the dying of our planet.

The Oscar winning actor made history when he used one of his speeches as a chance to educate listeners about climate change. Whereas he only had 60 seconds, he made sure to use every last one of them to speak up instead of simply saying thank you. He asked for change, and we’re sure it made an impact!

Gisele Bundchen

Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen is also known for her environmental activism. She has been involved in numerous environmental activism campaigns and companies over her lifetime and even used her 40th birthday to plant 40,000 trees! She believes in reforestation and is determined to leave the world a much better place than when she arrived on it. Taking an active role in environmental activism, Gisele has been a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN’s Environment Program, raised hundreds of thousands of dollars towards preventing climate change, and spoken out to anyone who will listen to her!

Brad Pitt

Pitt and his wife Angeline Jolie are known for their environmental activism in today’s society. They both play an active role, but in vastly different areas. Angelina tends to focus her efforts on the humanitarian side of the scale, while Brad focuses on preservation and the exposing of companies harming our environment. They both believe that climate change and deforestation are at the heart of our current climate state and work tirelessly to educate and advocate for environmental change!

There are numerous other celebrities who are making key changes to help save our planet, these are just a few that I feel deserve a little extra recognition! We thank all of them for their efforts and hope that they will inspire you to do some activism of your own!
