I found a very interesting article on the internet – Hollywood is going green! Wow, nice to hear!
Melrose newcomer Michael Rady (Greek, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants) takes the water conservation mandate home with him. “I don’t let the faucet run when I’m washing the dishes. In my shower, I’d like to put a button that would stop the water while you lather and shampoo. So much water is wasted,” he notes. “That’s my big green idea.” Rady puts premium gas in his car “because it burns more efficiently,” and plans to get a hybrid next. He’s getting married next spring, and plans to install solar panels and a sustainable garden in his house, the latter with sustainable plants and a low-water-usage system.
Thomas Calabro, reprising his role as Michael Mancini in the Melrose update, is equally eco-conscious. “I carry my own bag to the grocery store. I bike around when I can. I use the plastic bag that the bread came in to pick up the dog’s poop rather than buy bags. Instead of buying the plastic bottles, I buy Gatorade mix and mix it myself,” he enumerates.
While she still drives a big car — she has three kids and her lease isn’t up yet — Katey Sagal (from Married with Children fame) offsets that energy usage by using CFL lightbulbs at home, recycling, and reducing her use of plastic. “I have a water bottle I carry with me,” says Sagal, who returns to FX Sept. 8 in the drama Sons of Anarchy. This season, there will be some female bonding in the high-testosterone show as Gemma and Tara grow close following a shocking incident involving Gemma. “It was well choreographed, but still intense,” Sagal remembers the scene, noting that the experience “contributes to the emotional arc of the entire season.”
“I recycle. I have a Lexus hybrid. I ride my bicycle everywhere. We’re very environmentally conscious,” says supermodel Elle Macpherson, 
who also plants trees with her air miles. These days the London-based frequent flier is accumulating a lot of the latter crossing the Atlantic to New York, where she’s shooting The Beautiful Life, playing modeling agency chief Claudia Foster on the CW series, premiering Sept. 9 at 9 p.m. What lured her back to American TV for the first time since her Friends guest arc in 2000? “I’m building a brand in the U.K. and Australia with my intimates and body products and having exposure in America is smart business for me,” she explains. “It’s very fortuitous that they came to me with this project. From an emotional and career perspective it’s a wonderful opportunity,” says Macpherson, who still models for Revlon and other brands. “It’s still very much a part of my daily life.”
