10 Famous Spaniards Committed To The Environment

The climate crisis is a problem that affects us all. Awareness has been increasing and more and more familiar faces are taking advantage of their visibility to raise awareness among more people.

At a time when the climate crisis has become one of the central issues of concern throughout the globe, more and more familiar faces are getting involved and showing their support to solve this problem.

They are the best spokespersons to help the planet: singers, actors, writers, chefs, and influencers are fully aware of the need to care for the environment and many of them do everything they can to show their commitment.

This crisis on our planet, in addition to destroying it as we know it, would affect practically all the sectors that feed us. Climate change is harmful to the oceans and the species that inhabit them. In the Mediterranean area, experts are already announcing that the consequences will be very serious if action is not taken now. For its part, the increase in temperatures, as seen at the COP26 Summit, shows that the environmental crisis is a problem of the present, which must be tackled in any way possible.

Within our borders, many celebrities have decided to raise their voices and lead by example, as is the case with Elsa Pataky. The actress participated in the Mercedes-EQ Welife Festival, the most important event of the year on sustainability and healthy living of the Vocento group. In it, she talked about how she faces the challenges of her day-to-day in the most natural and supportive way possible.

The number of famous Spaniards showing their interest in the planet has been increasing. From Javier Bardem and Clara Lago to Penlope Cruz or Alejandro Sanz. Here we pay them our special tribute and all our admiration for being champions of the fight against climate change.

The 10 Spaniards Most Committed to the Environment:

1. Elsa Pataky

There is no doubt about the great commitment of the English actress, journalist, producer, and model to the environment. His passion for nature is well known and he lives in his refuge in Byron Bay, Australia, taking care of the animals on his farm and promoting organic and sustainable agriculture. Pataky has manifested himself on countless occasions as an environmentalist, participating in strikes for the planet and being the visible face of numerous associations in defense of the environment.

The actor has repeatedly publicly demonstrated his commitment and his love for the oceans. Habitats that remain under constant threat both due to the rise in levels and due to the great pollution that tends to grow uncontrollably.

3. Clear Lake

The actress is another of the great visible faces of our country who have not stopped supporting the environment over the years, especially when it comes to not eating meat. On more than one occasion, Clara has shown her gratitude to Greta Thunberg for taking the cause of climate change to all corners of the planet. But his fight has not ended there.

6. Jon Kortajarena

The actor has also taken advantage of his fame to raise awareness about a type of fishing that could end marine species: electric fishing, a derivative of conventional fishing in which the net has a series of electrodes that launch electrical currents on the sea floor.
