After
shopping around for a bit, award-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio has finally decided on a home in New York City’s Greenwich Village. The star is known for embracing the eco-lifestyle (as evidenced by his love affair with
Citi Bikes and previous accommodations at the
LEED gold-rated Riverhouse), so it only makes sense that his new pad be green as well. In addition to sustainable materials, the exclusive
Sixty-Six East Eleventh Street also boasts health-centric amenities such as vitamin-C infused showers.
Well, with 5 luxury homes, it is nice that he can fool some people by buying one "green home" as well. Tell me he sold off his carbon footprint homes and gave up his carbon print lifestyle, and I will give him credit.
But to say...."yeah, I have a carbon footprint the size of Mars, but it is offset by one of my investments" is saying nothing more than "I am doing it for my image and sime of those mindless people out there will say 'see, he is not a hypocrite'"
