An avid environmentalist, this is just the latest project in Leo's very green life. He drives a hybrid car, lives in a solar paneled home and has lobbied for access to clean water. Last year, the 33-year-old produced and narrated 11th Hour, a global warming documentary.
"We all have to do our part to raise awareness about global warming and the problems we as a people face in promoting a sustainable environmental future for our planet," he has said.
