Eco friendly homes are starting to pick up steam. A lot of people are shifting to a greener kind of lifestyle and Hollywood is no exemption. More and more stars are turning their green filled pockets into green friendly houses.

Take Johnny Depp, in 2005, the star converted his Bahamas island home to run on solar hydrogen technology. Depp's eco enlightenment may have rubbed off on his "Pirates of the Caribbean" costar Orlando Bloom. In 2007, Bloom built an enviro-friendly house in London. "It's as green as I can make it," Bloom said on green design website Inhabitat. "It's got solar panels on the roof, energy efficient light bulbs-newer technology basically that is environmentally friendly."

Only last year, Leonardo Dicaprio bought an eco-friendly condominium. The said condo has a 24-hour fresh-filtered air system, a gray and black water treatment facility, rooftop green landscaping and free bike storage. Moreover, the entire building was built with only non-pollutant materials and solar-powered energy. Wouldn't it be great if all houses and condominiums were as eco-friendly. It saves you money plus you’ve done your part.

That is good to hear.  This trend SHOULD start with those who have the disposable income to implement it.
