Why is it so important to model an eco-conscious lifestyle? Actors, musicians and athletes have a huge opportunity to take advantage of their lives in the media fish bowl. They can send out a powerful message to their fans by carrying a reusable bag or driving a hybrid car or talking about what they do in their daily lives to protect the planet.
