Chelsea Sexton gets a biodiesel-powered makeover

Filed under: Biodiesel, Green Culture, Green Daily



OMG, Chelsea Sexton is so slumming with the biofuel folks! The staunch plug-in car supporter was in Santa Monica last week and participated in a eco-makeover courtesy of Elle Magazine and the publication's biodiesel-powered salon/bus. Ecorazzi's Anna Griffin was at the scene (that's her with the mic) and got the scoop on why one of the most prominent faces of today's EV movement - Sexton was a big part of Who Killed the Electric Car? and today works with Plug In America on electric vehicle issues (protesting Toyota, for example) - would deign enter the Elle Eco Spa Bus. The bus has got some eco-cred, that's why, and even though the bus doesn't feature a plug, it is raising money to plant trees around the U.S.

Elle is just one fashion icon that's interested in green transportation. Last year, for example, supermodel Laura Bailey helped launch ibuyeco, a green-themed insurance program. And Tyra Banks took her supermodel reality show on the biodiesel route last year, as well.

Biodiesel buses taking Sean Penn on activist trip across U.S.

Filed under: Biodiesel, Etc., Green Daily

A fleet of biodiesel buses, 300 people, and Sean Penn will leave from the Coachella Festival in California today on Penn's Dirty Hands Caravan to New Orleans. The tour is not scheduled to arrive in New Orleans until May 4 and will stop at cities along the way for the activists on board the biodiesel buses to volunteer in various communities. In exchange for their service, caravan participants will have their food, water, transportation and campground accommodations paid for. Penn and other organizers aren't telling the activists what sort of work they need to do in the communities where they'll stop; they're just asking that the people do something. The idea, Penn said in a statement, is to "empower young people to stand up for what they believe in, with its longevity based on inspired individuality and pride." Not a bad way to spend the week. In case any AutoblogGreen readers are getting their hands dirty, reports and pictures would be appreciated.
