The auction is for a lunch date with conservationist and legendary actor Harrison Ford. Here's my deal — I think it is wonderful that celebrities are the models, the gift and the prize… I just hope we aren't auctioning off Brad Pitt's body parts for solar panels. Too far? — perhaps. Unrealistic? — perhaps not.

In other news, Leonardo DiCaprio visited Israel for the first time this past week with Israeli model girlfiend Bar Refaeli. (Is she hotter than ex Giselle — I don't think so) Sure there were walks on the beach, romance and violence with the paparazzi – but Leo had enough time to squeeze in talks with the Israeli government. The star was invited to meet with Israeli Vice Premier and former Prime Minister Shimon Peres within hours of arriving in Tel Aviv.

From the article:

An aide to Peres said: "The meeting was pleasant and interesting. Shimon told Leo about his Peace Valley project - a joint Israeli-Jordanian-Palestinian economic development plan - and Leo spoke about '11th Hour' his documentary on the environment."

Just another day in the life of Leonardo DiCaprio.

J.K. Rowling is not only making hard core green cash, she’s contributing to the green movement. I can hardly wait for the final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, coming out July 21st. I can feel a little bit better about the monstrous 784 pages because of the alliance she’s made with Rainforest Alliance,

Among the details of agreement:

• The paper used will contain "a minimum of 30 percent post-consumer waste (pcw) fiber."
• Nearly two-thirds of the 16,700 tons of paper will be approved by the Forest Stewardship Council, an international organization with a mission to "promote environmentally responsible, socially beneficial and economically viable management of the world's forests."
• A "deluxe" edition of the new book, which has a first printing of 100,000, will be printed on paper that contains "100 percent post-consumer waste fiber."

Also, Julia Roberts is stepping into the limelight with plans to upgrade her 20 million dollar Malibu home with state-of-the-art green gadgets and technology. She also plans to add recycled tile to her bathroom floor. I'm all for these improvements. While everyone can do their part, regardless of financial state, it's cool to see what 'no budget' can do to produce a stylish and eco-friendly home.
