Oscars: Green cars, red carpet

By at 10:09 pm Tuesday, Mar 1

A number of stars drove Toyota Prius hybrids to the Academy Awards Sunday as part of a campaign to raise awareness about low emission vehicles.
About 15 celebrities including Gwenyth Paltrow, Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johanson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Robin Williams, Orlando Bloom, Salma Hayek, Charlize Theron, Penelope Cruz, Morgan Freeman, Julie Delpy and Tim Robbins are all pulling up to the red carpet in hybrid cars. This is the third year Global Green, the American branch of Green Cross International run by Mikhail Gorbachev, asked celebrities to use their status to help the environmental cause.
