EarthFirst.com is taking one of the most popular internet memes and turning it on its head–instead of a roster of starlets that drove hybrids, what if we introduced you to 25 beautiful women who had real environmental credibility? We’ll be posting five new faces every day this week; you can catch up on 25-21 here, or continue on below. Without further adieu, I give you the 25 Hottest Girls in Green, #16-20.
20. Simran Sethi
SImran is currently holding an endowed chair at the University of Kansas, where she teaches about the intersection of journalism and the environment, but that’s not the only thing she’s done to get on this list. If you’ve ever taken a glance at Treehugger, then you’ve seen some of her work–Simran was a co-creator, hosted, and oversaw all video and audio content on what quickly became the largest environmental website int he world. She’s also hosed forums with such luminaries as Al Gore, and has been making documentary films since graduating Smith College in 1992.
19. Summer Bowen
Summer Bowen is another Treehugger contributor–they’re spread across this list like Kudzu in the deep south–and the founder of BTC Elements, an online retailer for sustainable products that are free of sweatshop labor. She’s a Berkeley grad, and was educated in social justice and environmental education, two fields that clearly influenced the foundation of BTC.
18. Melissa Etheridge
This cancer survivor and LIve Earth performer has taken using stardom to campaign for change to a new level. Her webiste has green tips, sure, but the concert tour fleet is powered by biodiesel? And have you seen this stirring call to action on stage? This is how celebrities should act.
17. Victoria Everman
Victoria, who runs the aptly-named Victoria-E.com as a personal website, green blog, and front for her modeling and freelance writing careers (she’s busy), is an Indiana farm girl turned San Francisco powerhouse. In addition to modeling and her freelance career, she’s also available on All Green Magazine, Building Green TV and Greenopia. She’s also been involved in the GreenMUA project, connecting green makeup cosmetic companies to makeup artists.
16. Kimberly Jordan Allen
Kim is one of several wirters on this list that have contributed to Eco Chick, an environmental site focused on catering to a demographic that it defines as not “men or moms.” She also has had her work featured in E-The Environmental Magazine repeatedly, and is an avid outdoorswoman and conservationist.
