25 Hottest Girls in Green

Earthfirst :

We had a great time bringing you the Top 25 Hottest Girls in Green last week. We didn't want to overwhelm our readers with their hotness all at once so we broke it into five, five girl installations. Now that you've had a chance to acclimatize your system (25-21, 16-20, 11-15, 6-10, 1-5) to so much green hotness, we decided to throw them all together on one place for your viewing and social bookmarking pleasure. Enjoy!

Julia lived in a 180-foot tall, 600-year old redwood tree (Luna) for over two years, from December 10th, 1997, to December 18th, 1999, in order to prevent it from being cut down by the Pacific Lumber Company-a successful endeavor that secured several acres of buffer around Luna in a settlement.
#3. Rachel McAdams

The Mean Girls and Wedding Crashers star permanently endeared herself to environmental activists last year when she and two friends launched Green is Sexy, a green blog that's utterly without pretension, or even the acknowledgment that one of the writers is best known for being pushed into a bus by LaLohan.

Hayden has taken on the role of spokeswoman for "Save The Whales Again," an organization aiming to consolidate and expand upon the gains in conservation made since the 1970s.

so right yet so wrong. i do have to say, however, that i think new huffington poster simran sethi was robbed at #20 . certainly hotter than 15,16,18 and 19. #11 is showing some wear and tear these days, so she vaults past that. and she undoubtedly smells better than #2 because two years of living in a tree leaves a stink on you that no amount of dr bonners can remove.

[enilorac]

not sure how angela jolie can be in there
she lives in McMansions, really ghastly ones with expensively wrought fakes of important antigues
if she and Brad were really Green, they would live in a modesty of materials, low tech sort of truly modern way
they of course have mega AC running and the lights on at their houses
and their fashionista dress up side is all about consumerism

[enilorac]

The hottest Green Girl is Huffington Post's Olivia Zaleski
a. she went to the Big Green --Dartmouth ( although she doesn't seem to look like the Abominable Snow-woman from Hanover, sort of girl
b. she writes really smart and really funny and very practical and informative blogs
c. she is a natural looking type, but not too crunchy wunchie
d. she seems to have coined the word CRAPOLA, now part of the vernacular
e. most def. people are saying No to plastic bags, plastic bottles, other crapola, as she defines it all as oil really. so she has made a difference
f.she got where she is with words and wit

[noneIn2008]

A couple good greens. Unfortunately, most are neogreens - "do as I say not as I do". "Look at the green I can buy with my money". Actions speak louder than money. Reduce. You can not be green and live in over a 3,000 sq ft home. You can not be green and fly private jets. Live it, don't buy it.

[lindabeth]

This is an insult to the people who work in Green movements. And is especially an affront to the men involved. You would think-from PETA to this-that Green men are non-existent. Are there not Green men--"hot" ones even?

The green movement does need to be sold to men, since it is often represented as feminized. But the way to "sell" the movement to men would be to, oh, I don't know, have an informative post about men who work for Green causes?! Don't we want people to be Green because it's right, not give it lip service because that's what the "hot" people (read: women) are doing?

You have once again shown that one's work, one's opinions, one's arguments are only important so long as you are labeled "hot." This is especially sad for progressives. You have stooped to the level of Maxim and should be ashamed.

[StephanieRogers]

Hey lindabeth - there are indeed hot green men and we covered that as well: http://earthfirst.com/earthfirstcoms-top-25-hottest-guys-in-green/

The point isn't to undermine the work of any of these people. It's meant to show that 'green' can be fun and lighthearted and doesn't always have to be so deadly serious all the time. Part of what turns the general public off of the green movement is that they find it depressing.

[HippyGourmet]

We've heard that Angelina Jolie is a big fan of "The Hippy Gourmet's Quick and Simple Cookbook for Healthy Eating" and that both her and Brad enjoy watching Hippy Gourmet on PBS TV and YouTube, because of this cooking show's very different approach to featuring non-profits while spreading messages of sustainability.

Journalism standards call for females past the age of 18 to be called "women."
