Quantcast Vegetarian StarNatalie Portman Recycle video

Natalie Portman was once an eco-conscious teen doing a better dance than that Miley/Hannah character could ever pull off.

Attendees at the Environmental Media Awards were presented with a video of a very young Portman as a background diva singing along to “Recycle it, Renew it, Redo it, Reuse it, Yea yea yea!”

Seems the vegan who transitioned from vegetarian because of Jonathan Safran Foer‘s book, Eating Animals, was destined to be an advocate of the green life.

The actress was reported to have both “grinned” and “cringed” at having old memories brought up that aren’t nearly as bad as the old birthday party clips your mother has lying around.

Organic food was served and compostable dinnerware was use at the ceremony meant to highlight people and productions drawing attention to environmental causes.

The Washington State Department of Ecology has a brief, easy read of recycling facts for kids after the video above gets their attention. No doubt, many adults could stand to read up on some of these facts too, especially considering they are the bottle water bandits of present time.
