Leonardo Takes New Green Car and Drama to the Road Posted by Gina Telaroli on December 29, 2008 at 8:26 am

Leonardo DiCaprio has always been outspoken about the environment - and now he is putting his money where his mouth is, at least when it comes to his car.  When talking with The Daily Mail, Leo revealed that he just purchased a brand new Tesla Roadster - the first high performance electric car (and Leo’s first sports car).  He also gave us some insight into his environmental views:

‘This is not about me,’ he says. ‘And it’s not about one group of people telling any other group of people how to live. I don’t think it’s fair to tell people to install solar panels, buy (low-watt) light bulbs or drive a hybrid - that’s not a reality for most people… ‘We are the most powerful country in the world and we haven’t made a tiptoe towards renewable technologies. We should be the ones paving the way, the ones other countries look up to. It makes me extremely sad.

While I think there are small ways each person can make a difference - I agree that as things are today, Leo is right about individual responsibility on a larger level - so three cheers for Leo! And speaking of praise for the actor, Revolutionary Road may not have been on my top 10 list (I really think you should all see it though) but after seeing the trailer about 5-6 times in the past week while at the movie theater, I am convinced that the film does have the trailer of the year.  Give a watch below - but before you do, be sure to takepart with the action site for his film The 11th Hour.
