Leonardo DiCaprio’s success in “Titanic” was only the tip of the iceberg. With his good looks, charm and sex appeal, he won the hearts of millions around the world. Over the years, his environmental work has made him the ultimate heartthrob. And honestly, what’s sexier than a guy who cares? A guy who does something about it.

Global warming is the most important environmental challenge we are facing today, and Leo knows this. While other celebrities are flying private jets and driving gas-guzzling cars, Leo opts for commercial flights and hybrids. His house even has solar panels, proving that he is more than just talk. The fact that Leo has already won the first-ever Big Green Help Award at Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards and an International Green Award from Cinema for Peace only proves how many different audiences he can reach.

Leo uses his talents in projects such as “The 11^th Hour” and “Greensburg” to shed light on problems that affect us all. His work with organizations such as the Natural Resources Defense Council; Global Green USA; Tree People; and the International Fund for Animal Welfare proves he is a driving force in the green movement.

Mr. DiCaprio has definitely given sexy a whole new meaning by trying to save the planet. Can you beat that? Visit his Web site at http://www.leonardodicaprio.org/ to see what you can do.

Sundresses, evening gowns, cocktail dresses, prom dresses, wedding dresses, jumper dresses, shirtwaist dresses, tent dresses, wrap dresses, condom dresses... Wait what! Condom dresses?

Condom garments are becoming a new, innovative eco-trend... Not so sure that using brand new condoms for garment material is so sustainable, but how about using expired condoms? Recycling expired condoms for these creative, beautiful styles seems like an artistic and quirky idea!

We are supporting these fancy creations not just as a statement for eco-fashion but as a statement about your commitment to safe sex. Condoms have been protecting people from pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases from about the mid 1600s. These latex dresses may not be the most environmental (or even comfortable) but they are definitely spreading the message of safe sex and the importance of protecting ourselves.

So the next time you see your guy throwing out expired condoms? Remind him that you are creating something fantastic, and his expired condoms are the exact materials you need!

Everyday is a winding road for this sexy environmental activist and Grammy Award-winning rock star. Sheryl Crow is constantly on the lookout for new and easy ways to be environmentally friendly and she has no problem calling people like former President George Bush and GOP operative Karl Rove out on their destructive habits.

Her most famous proposal is the one-square-per-restroom-visit, as mentioned in her Stop Global Warming College Tour Blog.

Sheryl is so adamant about getting the word out that she has devoted an entire album, “Detours,” to discussing the perils of climate change. Other ecological ventures include attending the White House Correspondent’s Dinner and the Stop Global Warming College Tour where she traveled with activist Laurie David in a bio-diesel bus to encourage college students to join the movement.

And she’s more than a rocking green star; she’s topping the ecological charts as a green mom. Sheryl threw an eco-friendly baby shower and published the tips on her blog. Learn more about what Sheryl thinks we can do about the environment on her Web site, http://www.sherylcrow.com/.

Cate Blanchett was an English queen in “Elizabeth” and a royal elf in “The Lord of the Rings.” Now she has entered a new realm of royalty: the green kind. This sexy star is leading her people into a new age of environmentally friendly practices, and she’s literally starting in her own backyard.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Cate spent $1.5 million making her home eco-friendly. The house has its own water tank, solar panels and low energy lighting. Cate also made sure that none of the timber used in her home came from the rainforests. This is money well-spent for Cate, who hopes to set an example to everyone, especially in her homeland of Australia, which is one of the leading contributors of carbon emissions into our atmosphere.

Cate is also an ambassador of Earth Hour (http://earthhour.org), a campaign that asks people to turn their lights off for one hour to show their support for our planet. Visit their Web site to Vote Earth and check out http://www.therenewableplanet.com to read Cate’s Greenography. Do your part and show Cate that you too have a heart of green.

His smoldering eyes and alluring charm have helped this actor, screen writer, producer and director top the charts twice as People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive. But it’s his leading role in the environmental movement that has without a doubt transitioned George Clooney from sexy to simply irresistible.

According to the Insider, George worked at a Swiss energy company as an executive board member in developing eco-friendly equipment for car engines. He has also been spotted driving around Hollywood in a Tango, an environmentally friendly car, and around Italy in a Vespa.

However, this sexy superhero is not combating climate change alone. Batman has found his Robin in Brad Pitt, and the two have been working together to make sure they win this ecological battle. And they’re not stopping at the environment. George cares about all matters that affect our world. Just last year, the United Nations appointed him as their messenger of peace.

If you love George Clooney and what he does for our world, then join him as his sidekick and learn about what you can do to help our environment by checking out Web sites like http://ewg.org.

Cameron Diaz was going green long before she took on the role of Princess Fiona in “Shrek.” This sexy superstar has proved time and again that she’s willing to get ugly to make her voice heard. Now she’s taking on her biggest role yet: environmental champion.

According to Cameron’s green biography on http://therenewableplanet.com, there is more to this Prius-driving girl-next-door than what meets the eye. Besides taking on leading roles in blockbusters, Cameron is involved in projects such as the MTV show “Trippin” where she traveled the world and learned how to protect the environment. She’s also the mastermind behind and appears in a documentary she traveled across the country to film. She came face-to-face with everyday people to help them change their habits to be more eco-friendly. Cameron is also one of the many stars who contributed tips on living ecologically to “The Green Book.” She wants the world to know that change can happen in the smallest of ways, like changing one lightbulb at home.

I guess this just proves there really is something about Cameron Diaz. If you want to help Cameron do something for the world, take the first step. Visit Web sites such as http://bethechangeinc.org and http://earth911.com to learn more about small things you can do.
