Happy Mother’s Day to our favorite eco-friendly celebrity moms.

Being that Mother’s Day is all about how awesome moms are, it’s time to send a shout out to our favorite celebrity moms—who not only live the green life like a boss, but always keep us aware of the planet-friendly ways we can do better (and be better).

1. Julia Roberts

This pretty woman lives green in a sustainably-designed home that’s solar powered and built with woods from responsibly-managed forests. Motherhood’s the big reason she started thinking critically about the environment and has made oodles of lifestyle changes over the years—from using environmentally friendly diapers when her kids were young to using only green household cleaners, she’s one of the many celebrity moms who practices what she preaches.

2. Charlize Theron

Not only has Charlize founded the Charlize Theron African Outreach Project, which supports children in need and AIDS/HIV education in South Africa, but she’s also a passionate animal rights activist and was a spokeswoman for the Clean Water Act.

3. Gisele Bündchen

Gisele is more than just a(n insanely) pretty face: In 2011, she was named Greenest International Celebrity of the Year, and devotes a lot of her time and money to environmental causes such as the Brazilian movement A Drop Of Water. She’s also extremely passionate about protecting the Amazon rainforest.

4. Meryl Streep

After reading a Natural Resources Defense Council report in 1989 regarding pesticides in produce, Queen Meryl created Mothers and Others, a group that taught consumers about chemicals and toxins commonly found in non-organic foods. Although the group ended in 2001, her efforts continue with other organizations like the Children’s Health Environmental Coalition, a group that works to protect children from toxins in water and foods.

5. Alicia Silverstone

Alicia is the grand poobah of vegan beauty: She wrote a diet book called “The Kind Diet“—which is about living a happy, healthy life while taking care of the Earth at the same time—and her blog, The Kind Life, includes vegan recipes, beauty tips and other environmentally-friendly finds.

6. Natalie Portman

Where do I start? Natalie has always been a strong animal-rights activist. She became a vegetarian at nine years old, doesn’t wear fur, feathers or leather, and in 2007 launched her own vegan shoe line. Even her wedding ring is made with recycled platinum and conflict free diamonds!
