Global Green USA Campaign Promotes Energy Independence, Smart Solutions to Climate Change Through Stars Arriving at Academy Awards in Fuel-Efficient Cars

   Who:          Nominees Leonardo DiCaprio, Natalie Portman, Morgan
                 Freeman, and presenters Scarlett Johansson, Charlize
                 Theron, Gwyneth Paltrow, Tim Robbins, Orlando Bloom, Robin
                 Williams, Salma Hayek, and Penelope Cruz among others.

   What:         Given the current state of global affairs and increasing
                 threat of climate change, some of the biggest names in
                 Hollywood are planning to arrive at the Academy Awards in
                 fuel-efficient Toyota Prius hybrids instead of gas-guzzling
                 limos.  The celebrities want to demonstrate how each of us
                 can take a simple yet powerful step to decrease our
                 dependence on fossil fuels, reduce air pollution, and stem
                 climate change.

                 Salma Hayek, actor, and presenter at this year's Awards
                 says: "With global warming threatening us all, driving a
                 fuel efficient car like a hybrid is something that
                 everybody can do to protect our planet.  I am proud to do
                 my part: I personally own and drive a hybrid car.  And I
                 love it!"

   Where/When:   77th Annual Academy Awards,
                 Sunday, February 27th,
                 Kodak Theater, Hollywood
