How A-List Celebrities are Going Green in Their Bathrooms
Many trends are incubated in Tinsel Town. These fads spread like wildfire, having large masses of people scrambling for the new and coolest, “in thing.” Fortunately celebrities are using this trend power to create awareness for the green movement. The following celebrities are using their star power to create awareness for the green movement in the bathroom. One of the most wasteful places in the home.
Star signer Sheryl Crow and A list actor Will Smith are taking their toilet paper usage seriously. Sheryl crow uses one square at a time and advices all to follow her example. Will Smith has just recently purchased a high tech toilet, which uses sprays of water to carry out the toilet paper’s regular duties. Affording a high tech toilet may be out of your budget but conserving Toilet paper is a good idea. Try to purchase EPA approved toilet paper and recycled toilet paper. Seriously every square counts. In the United States alone we use over ten million tress just for toilet paper. Not to mention the dyes and chemicals used during the manufacturing process. These harmful chemicals leak into our environment creating a negative impact.
Leonardo DiCaprio, Jackie Chan, and Cameron Diaz are conserving water with every flush. Cameron Diaz lives by the credo, “if it’s yellow leave it mellow, if it’s brown flush it down.” Jackie Chan has his own twist on Diaz’s mantra, he flushes only once at the end of each day. Environmentally conscious trendsetter Leo spent over three thousand dollars on a low flow toilet. All these actors believe the public should follow their lead or at least be more conscious of the next flush. In the US the average person flushes twenty gallons of fresh water down the drain. There is really no need for such wasteful habits. There are toilets available that significantly cut down on the amount of water flushed.? A dual flush toilet is a prime example of one of these water saving toilets. They can reduce water consumption by four thousand gallons per year.
Jennifer Aniston has limited her showers to 3 minutes. She explains that the every two minutes of showering uses as much water as an African has for one day. The average American spends eight minutes in the shower and the average shower head produces 2 gallons per minute. This comes to wasteful sixteen gallons of fresh water for cleaning ourselves. By following Jen’s lead we could all decrease the amount of time spent in the shower. Saving tons of our worlds most precious resource, water.
I couldn’t mention Jennifer Aniston with out mentioning Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt and wife Angelina Jolie have been providing millions of dollars for the reconstruction efforts in New Orleans post Katrina. Most of the funds are allocated toward building green homes complete with energy and water saving appliances and fixtures.?
We may not have the money or the star power of these celebs but we can do our part to carry on there message. It only takes small steps towards a more Eco-friendly lifestyle.

Brent Attractions – Going Down Wembley Way
Brent is home to the ‘new’ Wembley Stadium. The stadium in Brent is the largest football stadium in the world that can boast about the fact that every seat is covered, just as well, considering that Brent is hardly a sunny tropical paradise! With 90,000 unrestricted seats offering shelter in the rain, Wembley Stadium really is something that Brent can be proud of. Regardless of the escalated cost in construction and delayed completion, it all seems worth it now.
Before the new stadium was built, Wembley’s twin towers were the icon of English football. You could even say that Wembley was the capital of world football. With a global reputation, somebody in Australia or China would know what you mean if you say ‘Wembley’ to them and for a small town in Brent which cannot boast much else except for the stadium, that’s not bad going!
Wembley Stadium offers tours of the stadium including team changing rooms, manager dugouts, executive boxes and pitch side experiences. Imagine the feeling of standing where the greats of English football will earn their living for decades to come, Beckham, Rooney, Lampard, Terry who are today’s football heroes and the young youth players who aspire to one day walk down the famous Wembley tunnel and set the ground alight for 90,000 spectators.
Wembley Stadium really has put Brent on the map! On a clear night, the Wembley Stadium arch can be seen from 13 miles away. As I travel on the London Underground going past Wembley Park and Northwick Park, the gorgeous lit-up arch of Wembley stands out and I find myself staring at it each day as my train goes past. What a sight!
The new stadium has embedded itself as an icon for tourists and local residents alike.
The old twin-towers were much loved icons of Wembley and soon after they were demolished, left a void in the Wembley skyline. It just wasn’t the same anymore, but many years on the new arch has firmly taken the twin-towers’ place with a modern and attractive presence. It has since become a symbol & image of pride for local residents.
The new Wembley Stadium has some amazing facts. It has over 2,000 toilets (that works out at 45 people per toilet when the stadium is at 90,000 capacity!), 35 miles of power cables, the London Eye could fit under the arch, the arch is 4 times higher than the old twin-towers, the arch weighs as much as 10 jumbo jets, plus many more!
Attending Wembley Market which is placed just outside the stadium and is held on Sunday’s, feels just as authentic as it did 10 years ago, except now instead of seeing the overlooking twin towers, the towering arch of the new stadium provides a magnificent and enchanting view.
Walking down Wembley Way in recent times has been as satisfying as walking down Wembley Way 10 years ago, maybe more. The London Borough of Brent has Wembley Stadium to thank for putting us on the map!
