Gill Pringle of The UK Times chatted with Woody Harrelson about his green-lifestyle. After reading the article, I felt for the first time I knew who Woody Harrelson was. I had a complete misconception of him as a radical who did crazy and odd things.
On the contrary, he seems down to earth and a man with integrity, which is refreshing in a way, with what I read in the paper about celebrities.
I haven’t watched his movies, but after reading this article, I am looking forward to seeing him in Will Smith’s movie, Seven Pounds. He plays a blind man who is helped by Smith’s character.
The reason I am posting Pringle’s article is that it goes into details about Harrelson’s 2003 all-electric Rav4, which he loves driving and plugs it in to refuel. He says the car is his pride and joy. The model was discontinued but he still drives his.
Now the Rav4 is in Los Angeles, but in Hawaii he drives a VW Beetle that runs on biodiesel.
His Hawaii home is completely off-grid and he generates his own solar power. Apparently, everyone in his neighborhood is on solar power. Nobody in the neighbor ever had power lines. Harrelson told Pringle that the neighborhood was solar powered before he moved in.
Harrelson seems more than just mainstream environmental celebrity-dude. He’s even a raw-food, vegan aficionado who once scaled the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco to protest against deforestation.
