Gossip Girl goes Green

Kelly Rutherford better known as Lily Van der Woodson, from Gossip Girls has made some serious commitments to the environment.   Since her son was born she has gone almost all natural!  She made her sons baby food by starting with all natural fruits and vegetables.  She and her husband, David, also used Homemade Baby and Tasty Baby for a natural replacement if they weren’t available to make Herme’s meals.  Now that he is old enough to eat they are making sure his diet is pesticide free.

Kelly and her husband Daniel also remodeled their home and made it more green.  They used denim insulation, no-VOC paints and other high efficiency systems to reduce their carbon footprints.  She and her husband even drive a Prius!

Here are some of Kelly’s tips for being Green:

• Bring your own to go containers to restaurants or chose restaurants that have biodegradable to go containers
• Chose organic sheets, mattresses and towels
• Take your own bags to the grocery store

Since Kelly is so conscious she is even leading the way on the set of Gossip Girls.  The set is no longer using water bottles.  They are recycling and the food service is using more organic foods.    The interesting thing about Kelly’s commitment to the environment is she is doing things most people can do in their daily lives.  Way to go Kelly!
