DIAZ HELPS PROMOTE 'LIVE EARTH'

Cameron Diaz has joined forces with former US vice president Al Gore to promote a new environmental awareness initiative.

A 24-hour global event, Live Earth, will start on July 7th (7.7.07) and will be similar to Bob Geldof's Live 8 concert.

Massive concerts will be held on every continent - including Antarctica - with Snoop Dogg, Kelly Clarkson and Lenny Kravitz already confirmed to play at the super-gigs.

The In Her Shoes star told the audience at the California Science Centre: "This is the only issue in the history of mankind that affects every single one of us - our planet is in danger.

"But at least someone is doing something about it."

Speaking at the announcement's press conference, she was keen to promote a more eco-friendly approach to life in Hollywood:

"I've been driving a Prius since they came out. I carbon neutralise when I travel. I recycle."

The actress added: "If we can get people to change one aspect of their lives, even do one thing, that's a step closer."

Ecofreak Comment :

Good for Cameron, fair play to her - she's having a go. Anyway Live Earth is worth promoting and here at Ecofreak we are hoping that it is a great success.
