Leonardo Di Caprio and his Eco Green Lifestyle

Leonardo Di Caprio is one of Tinseltown’s most sought after actors.  He has come a long way indeed from his fresh faced days as “Jack” in Titanic.  Today Di Caprio is not only an Oscar nominated actor but also an outspoken environmentalist.

To show the world his commitment to sustainable and eco friendly living, he has purchased an eco friendly apartment in New York’s Riverhouse complex.  He has also traded in is hybrid Toyota Prius for a Tesla Roadster, his first sports car.

Di Caprio’s apartment in New York is a pioneer in itself as it is the first apartment complex to be constructed out of renewable materials, is partly powered by solar panels, has an air filtering system which filters out fresh air 24/7 and has a “green” rooftop planted with pine trees.  The complex has 264 units ranging from a 1 bedroom loft to a 4 bedroom home.  It is located in Rockefeller Park.

After the apartment, Di Caprio traded in his Prius for a Tesla Roadster.  It may be a sports car but it consumes no fuel.  The car goes 244 miles on a single charge and is very fast.  The Tesla Roadster is valued at £100,000.

Di Caprio has been an environmentalist for a long time.  He is one of the first celebrities to purchase an electric car.  He also campaigns for environment related issues and has established the Leonardo Di Caprio foundation, an environmental awareness organization.  He has also starred and co-produced “The 11th Hour” which is a documentary about the plight of our planet.
