International Mother Earth Day, celebrated annually on April 22nd, is a global event dedicated to the protection of the land, which gives us everything!
Not only do activists serve their whole lives in this good cause, but some of Hollywood's big names have sacrificed their careers to become full-time saviours of Earth.
Some of the celebrities who became advisors to Mother Nature are:

Titanic alum, who has earned multiple Oscar awards due to his fine craft on the big screen, has long been one of Hollywood’s most prominent environmental advocates.
Through his foundation, he has funded climate science research, protected endangered ecosystems, and supported renewable energy initiatives.
