Here's some exciting news about a poll being carried out by Playhouse Disney for the coveted title of Greenest Star.

Queen of Pop Madonna has made the short list for her eco efforts in Playhouse Disney’s inaugural Playing for the Planet Awards which aim to celebrate eco-heroes big and small across seven different categories.

For the coveted Greenest Star category, Playhouse Disney, together with Awards ambassador Peter Duncan, have devised a shortlist of top ten environmentally friendly stars, revealed today. Preschooler’s and their families across the UK are being encouraged to visit www.playhousedisney.co.uk/playingfortheplanet to vote for one of the Top Ten or nominate one of their own favourites green stars.

The celebrities who have made the shortlist are all known for their green attitudes and using their public profile to encourage us all to change our ways, by doing the little things which make a big difference.

Hollywood A-listers, Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio have also made it onto the list by donating time, money and support to a range of green campaigns. Another A-List celeb making a difference is Sienna Miller, who has made it her personal mission to raise awareness of global warming. UK celebs are also doing their bit, with Lily Allen regarded as a committed green crusader among her peers and Harry Potter star Emma Watson spending time working with the Wild Trout Trust. Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin shows how rock‘n’roll can be green by travelling on an eco-friendly tour bus with recycling facilities, while his wife Gwyneth Paltrow has fronted environmental campaigns in the USA to help curb the country’s reliance on oil. The Playing for The Planet Greenest Star Award Top Ten Shortlist is as follows.


With environmental campaigners, eco-warriors and recycling crusaders among those that have made the list, it is now down to the public to vote for their ultimate Green celebrity - who is setting the best example and who is making the most of their status to bring green issues to the forefront? Through its Playing for The Planet campaign, Playhouse Disney hopes the children of today will follow in the footsteps of the stars by growing up green to help secure the future of the planet.

The Playing for The Planet Awards encourages preschoolers and their families to become eco-friendly by learning through play, and aims to reward those already doing their bit with some amazing eco prizes including a six night family holiday at an eco resort, an electric car and bikes for all the family!
