15 Celebs Who Love the Earth and Can’t Shut Up About It

7. Edward Norton

Fight Club might have been the movie that cemented stage and screen actor Edward Norton’s popularity, but he’s also a hero of the environment for his dedication to its preservation. Norton is a regular contributor to Earthjustice, the Wilderness Society, and Grand Canyon Trust, which was founded by his father. This desire to give back runs in the family as upon leaving high school, the American History X actor worked for his late grandfather’s national non-profit, the Enterprise Foundation, which offers affordable housing for low-income people in large cities. He is now a trustee for the organization and his grandmother and co-founder acts as vice president and secretary. Norton also oversees the Solar Neighbors Program, an organization that donates a solar energy system to one of Enterprise Community Partners’ low-income families each time a celebrity buys one. Thus far over 25 systems have been purchased by stars that include Brad Pitt and Danny DeVito.
