Activist, actress and wife to folk singer Ben Harper, Dern is a spokesperson and advisory board member for Healthy Child Healthy World. She and actress Amy Brenneman launched the Blue Butterfly Campaign to reduce environmental toxins in the home.

Longtime eco-activist, award-winning actress and mother of eco-conscious actress Gwyneth Paltrow (and earth-friendly son-in-law Chris Martin), Danner has advocated recycling and conservation for three decades. She helped implement and retain curbside recycling in both Santa Monica, Calif., and New York City. She also holds spots on the EMA's board of environmental activists and board of directors, drives an electric car and has solar panels in her home.

Brinkley lends her supermodel smile and her time to many causes, including PSAs benefiting children, the environment and breast cancer awareness. She is also an active supporter of several organizations including the Cousteau Society, The Wilderness Society, Stop Global Warming and Standing for Truth About Radiation (STAR).

The model-actress-mother took a cue from her bohemian, environmentally conscious family (her dad's a green builder) and enlisted the help of the Environmental Working Group and The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics to launch Josie Maran Cosmetics, her luxury line made with organic ingredients and biodegradable packaging. (Their press releases are even printed on recycled paper.) In addition to wearing eco-friendly clothing by labels like Evidence of Evolution, she supports Global Green's Green Schools for Southern California Initiative.
