22 Feb Celebrities Going “Green” at Home
Many celebrities use their star power to raise awareness on global issues, from the refugee crisis to global warming. One key issue celebrities have chosen to support is living sustainably. Although million dollar mansions tend to be the norm when it comes to celebrity lifestyles, many still practice the sustainable living practices for which they advocate by renovating their homes with sustainable features.
Here are some celebrities who’ve implemented sustainable features in their home renovations.
Celebrities “Green” Home Renovations
