“How do we make this little planet of ours a big star?” asks actress Cameron Diaz in the cover story of Marie Claire‘s July issue. “The planet needs a publicist.”
And this bubbly blonde is just the gal for the job. She’s long been an environmental activist—running around with an MTV video crew for her 2005 show Trippin’, which took her to exotic locales all over the world—but it wasn’t until she attended the TED conference recently that she really felt the push to do something a bit more serious.
These days, she’s doing a lot of press for her new film My Sister’s Keeper, but she also happens to be the star of a much smaller production. She’s been filming a documentary about our relationship with the planet, traveling to less-than-exotic locales across the country to talk to regular folk about the toxins in their air and water—and what they’re willing to do about it.
Check out this short video about her journey:
