Star Moment

Well, the star power of the day is getting into the environmental act in a big way these days!

Starting with the Clinton Presidential Library in Arkansas which is now showing off its green features, which include recycled alumminum ceilings, 365 solar panels and recharging stations for electric cars.

Then comes Leonardo DiCaprio, who drives a Prius, and has filmed a commercial in Japan for Toyota.

Next, there is Clint Eastwood, in Carmel, who is involved in a new luxury-housing development with solar and wind generators, a water reclamation system and an on-site native plants nursery for use in landscaping.

Not to be outdone by the stars, Sunset Magazine is creating a sub-division of 47 units that produce as much energy as they use in Menlo Park. And, don't be surprised on your nexr trip to McDonald's, if you can get fair-trade, organic coffee, which they are testing in 658 locations in New York and New England.
