June 8, 2008 · Print This Article
We had a great time bringing you the Top 25 Hottest Girls in Green last week. We didn’t want to overwhelm our readers with their hotness all at once so we broke it into five, five girl installations. Now that you’ve had a chance to acclimatize your system (25-21, 16-20, 11-15, 6-10, 1-5) to so much green hotness, we decided to throw them all together on one place for your viewing and social bookmarking pleasure. Enjoy!
(Publisher’s Note: We’ve got the 25 Hottest Guys in Green starting on Monday)
#1. Summer Rayne Oakes
As you might gather, Summer’s a model. She’s also a National Wildlife Federation fellow, a Treehugger contributor, host/contributor/expert/board member for the Discovery Channel’s Planet Green, Udall scholar, and holds an entomology degree from Cornell.
#2. Julia Butterfly Hill
Julia lived in a 180-foot tall, 600-year old redwood tree (Luna) for over two years, from December 10th, 1997, to December 18th, 1999, in order to prevent it from being cut down by the Pacific Lumber Company–a successful endeavor that secured several acres of buffer around Luna in a settlement.
#3. Rachel McAdams
The Mean Girls and Wedding Crashers star permanently endeared herself to environmental activists last year when she and two friends launched Green is Sexy, a green blog that’s utterly without pretension, or even the acknowledgment that one of the writers is best known for being pushed into a bus by LaLohan.
#4. Hayden Panettierre
Hayden has taken on the role of spokeswoman for “Save The Whales Again,” an organization aiming to consolidate and expand upon the gains in conservation made since the 1970s. She’s more than just a pretty face, appearing in press conferences with Sen. John Kerry, facing crowds in Q&As for over an hour, and even selling her own clothes for a fundraiser.
#5. Olivia Zaleski
Olivia Zaleski is a freelance writer in New York, and has been involved with Huffington Post (where she has played an integral role in the launch of HuffPo Green), Eco-Chick, Treehugger, and The Daily Green. She’s lately started to break into the mainstream media with video work for Good Morning America. Like many of our honorees, she also has a background in design, leaving her even better-suited to fine-tune a green lifestyle and look great doing it.
6. Angelina Jolie
One of the rare celebrities with the enviro-cred to crack our list of 25, Angelina gets the nod because of her dedication to the developing world. Most recently she funded–by herself, because she’s a movie star–a Cambodian wildlife sanctuary at a cost of over 5 million dollars.
7. Katie Fehrenbacher
Katie and Jill are the only two siblings on this list, and they’ve earned it: in addition to Jill’s skill as a designer, Katie edits Earth2Tech and writes for GigaOM; she’s also gotten her freelance work published in Red Herring, Endgadget, and ReadyMade Magazine.
8. Jill Fehrenbacher
A freelance designer and green design consultant in New York, Jill is also the founder of Inhabitat, a blog dedicated to green design in all facets of life.

10. Heather Stephenson
Heather is the co-founder of Ideal Bite, an organization committed to teling you how to green your life via baby steps, and prior to that was involved in building rooftop gardens in New York City.
11. Darryl Hannah

In 2006, she, Julia Butterfly Hill, and Joan Baez were arrested along with several other demonstrators who were attempting to stop the bulldozing of the nation’s largest urban farm in South Central Los Angeles, and actually spent some time in jail.
12. Kylie Minogue
Kylie has been agitating for environmental in a variety of ways since her career took off in the 1980s, advocating for penguins in Australia, playing at LIve Earth II, creating a completely energy-independent home with renewable resources, and speaking out in public.
13. Lauren Bush
Unlike her more famous uncle, this designer has taken to the environment in a big way; she’s a vegetarian, and her design and modeling careers have allowed her to launch Project FEED, which has generated millions of dollars for the UN’s World Food Program.
14. Paris Hilton
SYKE! Paris is about as green as mountaintop removal mining, but she does a good job of buying hybrids because they look cool. Everybody else move up one spot.
15. Emily Pilloton
Emily is the managing director of Inhabitat and the founder of Project H Design, a firm specializing in “initiatives for Humanity, Habitats, Health, and Happiness.”
16. Kimberly Jordan Allen
Kim is a freelancer, and avid outdoorswoman; find her at Eco Chick, or in E-The Environmental Magazine.

18. Melissa Etheridge
Her website has green tips, sure, and the concert fleet is powered by biodeisel, but have you seen this call to action? This is how celebrities should act.
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. Summer will soon begin writing for Huffington Post Green.
20. Simran Sethi
In addition to holding an endowed chair at the University of Kansas, where she teaches about the intersection of journalism and the environment, Simran was a co-creator, hosted, and oversaw all video and audio content on Treehugger, which quickly became the largest environmental website in the world. Simran will also soon be starting up as a writer for Huffington Post Green.
21. Alicia Silverstone
2004’s Sexiest Female Vegetarian, appeared in a series of ads for PETA, set up a pet sanctuary in Los Angeles, and, yes, drives a hybird.
22. Laurie David
Laurie is a trustee on the National Resources Defense Council, but more importantly, produced “An Inconvenient Truth.
23. Dr. Heidi Cullen
Dr. Cullen is the Weather Channel’s chief climatologist, and has, among other things, penned a letter to the American Meteorological Society called “Junk Controversy, Not Junk Science” calling on them to no longer recognize any meteorologist that didn’t understand the threat of climate change. This of course, sent conservatives into an uncontrolled rage, and won her the affections of the environmental community for all eternity
24. Siel Siel
The Green LA Girl is also daring to lead a car-less existence in Los Angeles, making her one of the bravest commuters in recorded history.
25. Leona Johansson
Leona is the planet’s most eco-friendly pron star; if you’re not at work, click F*ck for Forest,” (link very, very NSFW, if you didn’t catch that) to see what we’re talking about.

[...] just released its list of the 25 Hottest Girls in Green, a tally of the finest ladies agitating for environmental reform. (Sexier than it sounds, trust us.) [...]
Funny, being a model and a vegetarian is apparently all it takes to make the list. Want to move up on the list? All you have to do is write a blog about the environment!
Whatever happened to REAL conservation-minded individuals? Selling your clothes for a cause and then turning around and buying an SUV (who really cares if it’s a hybrid or not?) is NOT the solution!
Do any of these so called actresses ever stop to think about how much of an environmental impact surrounds the manufacturing process of their sub-standard DVDs? Joe Strummer set up a conservatory in the UK to counter act the environmental impact of making all the Clash albums, but hell, he certainly doesn’t compare to Darryl Hannah with her Farm protest or Alicia Silverstone with her hybrid now does he?
Now, I understand that this is a list of sexy ladies, not people who have actually made a difference. However, is this the best we have to offer? Launching a website or publicly stating that the environment sucks right now? It’s sad really. I really hope the rest of the world has more to offer because if this is it, we have no future.
i’d have to disagree with a lot of that list, i’m sorry, some of those women just aren’t “hot”…but if the standard of this list is only girls that are “green” then being green doesn’t mean very good looks on all occasions.
Personally I am just sad cause i didn’t make the list …
But I really love that many of these women were NOT celebrities!
Why did Jordan Heller not make the top 25 hottest green guys? Have you seen this guy????? He is one hot green dude!
Oy vey, apparently I really effed that up, eh?
(for the record, no, I have not seen him!)
Why just the ladies???
I think you guys should do one for the men. I can tell you who I think as well as many other girls who is the:
Hottest Green Guy: #1 is - Craig Zamary, GreenEnergyTV.com I saw this photo of him and heard him speak in LA. Here is a link to his photo with Nancy Pelosi (he is on the far right of the photo)

@Eric A. Smith Dude, next time try using some vowels. It’s so much easier to understand the English language when you do.
How’d you forget Alexandra Paul?
Except for Angelina, the celebs on this list don’t seem to qualify for top 25 enviro anything. And hey, how about a more diverse list, since we are supposedly looking at the hottest, please include some black woman next time. In fact, just drop the hottest thing it’s kinda sexist and unnecessary concerning the enviro. A top 25 of the best enviromentalists (men included) would be better.
@RJII in DC: I’ll see your sexism, and raise you 25 Hottest Guys in Green: http://earthfirst.com/earthfirstcoms-top-25-hottest-guys-in-green/
Where are the Olsen twins and Lara Flynn Boyle? They haven’t consumed anything in years. Everyone in LA is a f*ing vegetarian vegan hybrid driving reefer smoking fool. It’s because it looks good on their resumes.
How about a list of folks who just missed the 25 list? The runners up. I am sure there are more hot guys and gals in green.
