Pauley Perrette: Hi, I’m Pauley Perrette, and my green tip of the day is: I love to plant trees. And you don’t have to go with a big thing to do it. Just plant one in your yard. It’s fun. And the other thing is to grow your own vegetables. There’s nothing better than growing your vegetables in your yard, pulling them up and eating them. It’s the best.
Amy Smart: Hi, I’m Amy Smart, and my green tip of the day is using reusable bags.

This week, the Environmental Media Association’s Young Hollywood Board is putting on the gloves and digging deep in support of organic gardening in Los Angeles-area schools. Celebs on the Board, including Nicole Richie, Lance Bass, Rosario Dawson, members of Maroon 5, Amy Smart, Matthew Rhys, Emily VanCamp and Emmanuelle Chriqui, will each adopt an area school, help with the planting, and check in with their gardens during the school year, explains People.
The project is the product of a newly-formed partnership between the EMA and the Los Angeles Unified School District’s School Gardens program, and personal care brand Yes To Inc. The launch event is scheduled for tomorrow morning at Hollywood’s Helen Bernstein High School, and the program will take root over the next several months.
Just how much dirt Richie et al will actually get under their fingernails remains to be seen, but Bass for one is pretty stoked: “Organic gardens are so important, especially in urban areas where many students would otherwise never see any greenery. I hope that the support will help them to grow and flourish in Los Angeles.”
