Halle Berry Wants Her Baby to be Green
Posted by Joshua W. Jackson on October 19, 2007 - 7:26am.

Academy Award winner Halle Berry recently told People magazine that she is exploring options to reduce the ecological impact of her soon-to-be-released baby. "I'm working on the nursery, but it's going to be all organic and eco-friendly. There are so many things out now that you can use. I'm going to try really hard to make it all organic." Berry added, "They even have organic disposable diapers..." Moviegoers everywhere hope that now that Berry is aware of such a product, she'll choose this means of disposal for her celluloid stinkers, rather than screening them in theaters.

Early this week talk show host Jimmy Kimmel signed up to fly back and forth between Los Angeles and New York every day for five days in a row. The comedian and boyfriend of Sarah Silverman will host both his own show in L.A. and fill in on "Live with Regis and Kelly" for the week starting Monday. Kimmel says, "It will be difficult, but that's how committed I am to entertaining America. And parts of Canada." Popular speculation suggests that Kimmel is just as committed to melting Greenland. And parts of Canada.

Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis became a father earlier this month and named his son "Everly Bear." To explain the odd moniker Kiedis said, "I think it's nice to have a little bit of the earth in your name." Rumor has it that Anthony's next children will be called "River," "Dirt," and "Petroleum," and will eventually greet their siblings, "Over-Heated," "Rotted," and "Devoid of Life."

Jackass Steve-O is the latest to join PETA's "I'd rather go naked than wear fur" campaign, casting off his clothes and displaying his tattooed body in a pair of print ads. Considering Steve-O has been known to wear jellyfish on his head and staple sensitive body parts, cultural critics suspect "go naked" is the tamest action on a long list of things the stuntman would rather do than wear fur.

Famed environmental activist Leonardo DiCaprio is reportedly beginning to develop plans for a green hotel and eco-resort on a private island he owns off the coast of Belize. While one must applaud DiCaprio's commitment to build green, how an uninhabited, undeveloped island could be made any more earth-friendly by the presence of a hotel, wind-powered or not, remains a mystery.

Wondering if she could have a greater impact if she demanded that studios which produce her movies do so in a "Greener Way"...would that not be a better way to change things??? If there are actresses out there that could force that kind of change on a studio(s) she's definetely one of them...

can imagine and would not be suprised if the "waste" from the production of one movie being more than the accumulated total of all the "waste" that will be produced by her daughter over her lifetime.

I am happy to hear that she wants to go green for her child. Everyone can't do everything, it's about everyone doing something.  A great start is a book, Raising Baby Green, bt Dr. Alan Greene.  I also have resources on my website.
I am sure there are enough green activists in Hollywood to give suggestions.  It is not solely up to her.  They just had an award show go green so there is a start.  It can not all happen overnight, but I am sure it will happen.

I think she may provide inspiration for other mothers to at least think about going green for their babies.  I hope she will incorporate food and the environment in addition to the baby's decor This can surely spread beyond babies. Good for her and  for us!  Greenwoman
