Hannah Urges Obama To Go Green
By VJ, WENNMonday, June 28, 2010
Actress DARYL HANNAH is urging U.S. President BARACK OBAMA to go green and install solar panels on the roof of the White House.
The vegetarian Splash star has been a keen green activist for years, running her home on solar power and driving a car that runs on biodiesel.
And she’s encouraging Obama to make changes to his residence in Washington D.C. after former American leader Ronald Reagan tore down the property’s solar panels in the 1980s.
Hannah tells Britain’s You magazine, “I’m pleased about the organic vegetable patch on the White House lawn, but Obama needs to put back the solar panels on the roof; Jimmy Carter put them up, Reagan took them down, and now it’s time they were reinstated.
“Reagan banned offshore drilling and Obama is trying to open it up again, which is terrible, especially given the recent oil spill. Then there’s nuclear power, endangered species…”
