From The Evening Standard:
What with the Oscars, the Brits and now London Fashion Week, it's been a tough schedule for high octane eco warriors. Despite being named as one of the 10 greenest stars on the planet, Sienna Miller was in London on Wednesday night for the Coldplay gig, flew to Los Angeles and was snapped at a pre-Oscars party on Thursday night, before returning in time for her and her sister's twenty8twelve fashion show and party at Whisky Mist last night... something of a mammoth carbon footprint.
Miller recently bought a cottage in Gloucestershire and only last week she told an interviewer of her plans to grow all her own food and be "slowly self-sufficient"... Miller, who votes for the Green Party, has been commended for her work in raising awareness about global warming through the charity, Global Cool. When she became a Global Cool ambassador in 2007, she said: "I'm very excited about joining Global Cool and their campaign to tackle Global Warming. Climate Change is an issue that is going to affect us all unless we act now and I truly believe Global Cool's approach of encouraging individuals to reduce their energy use will go a long way to solving the problem."
A spokesman for Sienna, who of course emails me from LA, says " Obviously, due to the nature of Sienna's work, she is required to travel regularly. She tries to offset her carbon footprint wherever possible." Global Cool's user-friendly mantra is that "It's not about being perfect, it's about cutting down" which is helpfully pragmatic.

You'll be pleased to know that Global Cool is in breach of the law: it is now 23 days late submitting its accounts and annual return to the Charity Commission. Experience implies that Global Cool will not suffer any adverse consequences from its . . er . . oversight. I suspect, when its accounts are submitted, that we'll find that Global Cool will join the roster of fake charities.
U, well spotted. Their website is fun as well - it informs us that "Sienna Miller has travelled with us to India to see first hand the effects of climate change and what is being done there to make a difference." By aeroplane, presumably.
She really is green creating all that airborne plantfood.
