David de Rothschild, EarthFirst.com’s #1 Hottest Guy in Green
June 15, 2008 · Print This Article
Just as we did for Hottest Girl in Green, Summer Rayne Oaks, we’re posting a tribute to David de Rothschild, possibly the best looking environmentalist ever. Plus, he’s got a British accent. Who could resist?
Though his looks may be mighty drool-worthy, David is far from being just another pretty face and we want to help him get out his message of how important it is to start doing all we can to save the planet. I also wanted an excuse to post gratuitous photos of the young British adventurer. I just. Can’t. Help. Myself.
As we told you in EarthFirst.com’s Top 25 Hottest Guys in Green (#5-#1), David’s pet project is Adventure Ecology, a gateway for kids to learn about global environmental problems. As part of Adventure Ecology, David treks the world to highlight problems like pollution, deforestation and melting glaciers.
David, an heir to one of the world’s most famous banking fortunes, would never be content to just sit back and enjoy his wealth. He told Outside Online, “Some people will always make the assumption ‘There’s a rich guy, a Rothschild; he paid a guide, the world’s fucked, and who cares?’ But I could sit there and do nothing or use my name and do something.”
David is author of The Live Earth Global Warming Survival Handbook: 77 Essential Skills to Stop Climate Change. He also wrote the foreword for True Green Kids: 100 Things You Can Do to Save the Planet, due out this September.
David was interviewed by Sprig about his book, his project ‘Adventure Ecology’ and what motivates him to put so much energy into the environment. Treehugger also interviewed David, getting details on what his life is like right now, how he offsets all that travel and his perception of the environmental movement right now.
You can also catch his Today Show interview where he gives his ‘9 quick and easy tips to save the planet’, taken from his book, The Global Warming Survival Handbook.
My favorite thing that’s ever been said about David, however, was when one interviewer called him ‘the real life Steve Zissou’. How awesome is that?

Not a bad looking guy for someone as inbred as himself. Too bad he’ll have to marry his cousin, aut or niece lady’s. So don’t get your hopes up he’s taken. Don’t believe me wiki his family.
Hmmm… I understand including David as #1, but where is the rest of the Pentaverate in the top 25? What about throwing in a Getty for good measure and where’s Colonel Sanders, with his wee beady eyes? Now, that’s hot!
If I had one wish it would be to spend a day picking the inside of this man’s head, He is doing everything I want to do and I think that is really cool, after reading a vogue one afternoon and seeing an artical about his team of scientists that have actually made bricks for housing out of recycled plastic,
(a project I’d been dieing to start),
What a dream, shame I was still a school girl when he lived in sydney
