Daily Tip: November 14, 2007

There's probably someone in your life who influenced you to care about the planet. If you're doing your best to live lightly on the planet, then you, in turn, are probably an inspiration to those around you--adults and children alike. Be sure to talk up what you're doing to protect wild places, conserve energy, and keep our air and water clean.

At the recent Environmental Media Association awards ceremony, the Sierra Club asked the stars to talk about who inspired them to be green. We heard it all, from their parents and children to Cub Scouts and Nobel Prize winners. Listen to their stories in this short video, and then for bonus points, take action and inspire your mayor to push Congress for a clean energy bill.
