Leonardo DiCaprio is essentially a dreamy, human version of Captain Planet.
Dude loves the environment, and he does more than just talk.
He joined in on the People’s Climate Change March last fall:
The movie star is part of the Divest Invest Coalition, an initiative that encourages individual investors, foundations, and institutions to stop investing in fossil fuels and in businesses that contribute to climate change and instead invest in renewable energy and eco-friendly companies.
Yes, the trash. That trash.
Trash:
DiCaprio recently invested an undisclosed amount in a company called Rubicon Global, which uses software to connect businesses to waste management companies to help them find cheaper, closer places to haul trash and recycling (think Uber for garbage).
DiCaprio continues to raise funds and awareness for environmental action through his charitable foundation.
His second annual Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation Gala raised $40 million for the group, which boasts four primary areas of focus: ocean and wild land conservation, climate change, and protecting biodiversity.
We have been able to support organizations that are working to solve some of today’s most pressing environmental issues. Throughout today, I’ll post about a few of them and share the incredible work they do. Want to put a spotlight on our beautiful planet and the things that you do to make a difference? Use #LDFoundation and I’ll share a few of my favorites.
