Charlize Therons Subtle Environmentalism

Eco-conscious people stepping up for the environmental battle choose their armor from the issue of focus to activism methods, but more often than not there’s not much meaning behind loud statements. Among the A-list celebrities in Hollywood, charity work is practically a common decency, a prerequisite of keeping the good image.

The wheels of environmental movement are often greased with the support of top celebs, but while the eco-battle would use any support at its disposal, in many cases its clear, where the PR stunt starts and real concerns end. On the other hand, it takes a precise eye to recognize a subtle environmentalist and Charlize Theron might just be the one.

The South Africa-born actress got the universal praise not only with her Oscar-winning performance in complex movies, but with impressive charity work. Charlize is the founder of Africa Outreach Project, which makes a significant impact in battling the violence against  women and other urging social issues in the region. The actress went further in this noble work, when she became a designated UN Messenger of Peace.

Sure, Charlize’s charity efforts focus most notably on women’s well-being, yet her attention is not limited by social issues only. Everything she does interconnects, bringing out the outstanding projects. For instance, her collaboration with TOMS Shoes on eco-friendly footwear, not only set to improve children’s living conditions in South Africa, but did it sustainably too. Same goes for her involvement with The Food Bank for New York City: on top of providing food to the city’s hungry, the organization elevates the sustainability awareness. By coordinating the distribution of food donations from manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers, the system closes the loop: food not wasted, has a lesser environmental impact. With several interconnected issues solved a time, we’ve got a better chance for impact in the environmental movement.

环保者加强战斗选择开始注重行动方法的问题，大声疾呼的背后往往没有实际行动。在好莱坞的一流的名人中，慈善工作实际上是一种礼仪，保持良好形象的前提。

环保运动经常冠以名人之名号，但在生态的战斗将在其处置使用任何支持，在很多情况下其清晰、公关噱头的出发点和现实的担忧结束。另一方面，它需要一个精确识别潜在的环保主义者，也许查理兹·塞隆只是一个。

这位南非出生的女演员获得了普遍的赞美，不仅因为她的表演在奥斯卡获奖，也因为其令人印象深刻的慈善工作。查理兹是非洲推广项目的创始人，这对在该地区的妇女和敦促其他社会问题的暴力斗争中产生了重大影响。当她成为一个被指定为联合国的和平使者时，这位女演员取得更进一步的成就了。

当然，查理兹的慈善事业的重点在于妇女福祉，但她的关注点不仅限于社会问题。她所做的一切都是相关的的，带来了优秀的项目。例如，她与TOMS的环保鞋的合作，不仅改善南非儿童的生活条件，并坚持了下来。同样，她参与纽约食物银行：为城市饥饿者提供食物，提高可持续发展意识。协调自制造商、批发商和零售商的食物捐赠的分配，系统关闭循环：食物不浪费，对环境的影响较小。几个相互关联的问题同时解决了，环境运动有更多的机会。
