Earth Day has been observed on April 22nd for 40 years now. And when it comes to making a difference, every single human being can decrease production of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases by thousands of pounds each year.
To do this not only saves our planet, but it can save you money. Examples include not driving so fast or ditching the car completely. Think of what you could save on gas alone!
But when it comes to celebrities...saving money isn't always the motivation.
Jennifer Aniston is enhancing her green credentials by renovating her sprawling Beverly Hills home--complete with plenty of solar panels.
A reflective metal roof has also been installed to conserve energy, and Jennifer has even swapped her Range Rover for a Toyota Prius, which more than doubles her fuel efficiency for half the price.
The $15 million renovations are just part of the former Friends star's environmentally friendly projects--she is also equipping her new Malibu pad with eco-friendly devices including drought-resistant plants.
And despite installing a swimming pool in her Beverly Hills mansion, the actress revealed she is keen on conserving water.
"I take a three-minute shower," says Jennifer. "I even brush my teeth while I shower. Every two minutes in the shower uses as much water as a person in Africa uses for everything in their life for a whole day."
The actress added: "When you become aware of all the things you do, and the effect those things have, you want to make small changes."
