Natalie Portman named most eco-friendly celebrity

Natalie Portman's dedication to environmental and social issues has won her a place at the top of a most eco-friendly list by green website Grist.org.

The company praised Portman's efforts to help save the gorillas in Rwanda, her role as the face of a low-energy light bulb company and the launch of her vegan shoe range.

Other stars to be honoured on the list include Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz, Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt.

But the least eco-aware celebrities were also named and shamed. The worst offenders? David Beckham, for the amount of flights he takes annually, Elizabeth Hurley, for jetting 250 guests to her wedding in India, and the Spice Girls, for their prolific use of private planes.
