Celebrities for Green Energy and Combatting Climate Change, from Brad to Lou

Many socially conscious celebrities are joining the fight against climate change, driving awareness in documentaries, promoting renewable energy solutions and encouraging their fans to get involved. We are grateful for the contributions of public figures who work with us to help the planet.

The founder of Home Energy Club and Get Green Energy, and publisher of content on the sites, Frank Eakin, has a successful history in energy, publishing and entertainment, and has worked on projects with many entertainment and sports stars. Eakin uses his energy platforms to help initiate mass adoption of green energy to combat CO2 emissions, and to encourage Texas consumers to reduce their personal carbon output. Eakin’s working with oil companies in digital marketing to help them transition to renewable energy.

Below is a list of six influential celebrities who deserve a tribute for the part they play in protecting Earth for future generations.

Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt is a cause-driven actor and producer who invests his time and money in environmental projects. In 2007, he founded the Make It Right Foundation to assist in the environmentally-friendly rebuilding of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, one of the most catastrophic hurricanes in American history. The storm’s intensity was attributed to climate change and Pitt invested heavily in renewable solar energy. He is a longtime supporter of green energy initiatives.

Frank’s movie tie-in production company worked with Pitt’s production company, Plan B, on another important cause-related project. It was the movie, “12 Years a Slave”, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture, and was based on the book that was the lifetime project of Dr. Sue Eakin, Frank’s mother.

Louis Gossett, Jr.

Louis Gossett, Jr., is an iconic African-American actor in film and television. Gossett won an Academy Award for his role in “Officer and a Gentleman”, and an Emmy for his role in the historic blockbuster TV mini-series, “Roots”. In 2020, he had a leading role in the HBO hit series, “Watchmen”.

For Gossett, the ancient Jewish concept of “Tikkun Olan”, or repairing the world, is important in his decision making. “I am a human being and I care about all my other human beings,” he says. “We need to save our planet. If we don’t do something soon, millions of species will be lost. The time is now.”

In 2012, Gossett narrated Eakin’s audiobook for 12 Years a Slave, playing the role of the slave Solomon Northup. In 2015, Gossett became a spokesperson for Home Energy Club’s parent company, which is cutting CO2 by bringing together major electricity providers to offer green energy for a lower price than fossil energy in order to create mass adoption.

Yoko Ono

For over 50 years, Yoko Ono has spoken out about topics including war, gun control laws, oil fracking, and pollution of the environment. She is an inspirational social media influencer who has raised the issue of climate change with series of posts, such as:

  • Climate change is a fact.
  • Temperatures are rising. The ice is melting.
  • Sea levels are rising.
  • The planet is now covered with good people who are standing up to say we love our planet too much to let it go.

Bono was a major supporter of Action/2015, a global coalition made up of more than 2,000 organizations from more than 100 nations. The coalition rallied followers to pressure world leaders to commit to strong goals and agreements at the U.N. General Assembly and the U.N. Climate Change Conference. This global movement for change was the largest of its kind.

You should always read a plan’s EFL details to decide if it’s a fit for you, but our system does the tedious math to help you compare estimated costs. Of course, your future bill amounts will depend on your future usage.

You will find a widget on Home Energy Club which fetches your home’s energy usage data from Smart Meter Texas (SMT) and runs calculations of the rate structures of energy plans to help you conveniently estimate the cost of energy plans you are considering, based on your prior 12 months of energy usage as reported by SMT.

In one of the text panels of the widget, you will see an authorization button. By checking the permission box above the fields in which you enter your name and email address, and clicking on the authorization button, you are authorizing Smart Meter Texas to provide us with your location’s energy usage information so that our system can run cost calculations. It’s important to note that errors can occur when developing and running calculations, and the Company does not guarantee that its cost numbers are correct. You should always read the Electricity Facts Label (EFL) for each energy plan you are considering before enrolling, and make an independent decision on whether the plan is an appropriate fit for your home based on your own calculations and all the information disclosed by energy providers in the EFL.
