If you’ve seen any of the coverage of Monday night’s Met Gala, you’ve seen Sarah Jessica Parker. Her high-shine hair for the event was styled by the genius Serge Normant with products from his namesake collection.

Sarah Jessica Parker attends the Costume Institute Gala for the “PUNK: Chaos to Couture” exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 6, 2013 in New York City.

Earth Day is here to remind us that we all need to do our part every day to protect our precious planet earth. I spoke to my good friend Sarah Sophie Flicker, mother, director, performer, writer, activist and Beauty.com commentator about ways that we can all do our part.

Sarah has recently worked on a PSA campaign with The Rainforest Alliance to raise green awareness.

You can get involved and watch the campaign video here and here:

Romy: Sarah, what are your favorite ways to celebrate Earth Day?

Sarah: I’m trying to make every day Earth Day. Working with the Rainforest Alliance on our PSA for Earth Day has opened my eyes even further to the truth that small every day actions equal huge changes. I try to be mindful everyday of making my life greener, of educating myself on ways in which to do this. I think earth day is a really wonderful day for kids. It’s a day to really help them understand how our actions affect our planet’s health.

Romy: What are some ways you like to be good to the earth?                                        

Sarah: I recently watched a documentary called “No Impact Man” (on Netflix) about a family who tried to make no negative impact on the earth for a year. Now, what this family did is impossible for most people, but it was very effective in driving home how much waste we create and also gives wonderful tips and ideas on how to leave less of an impact on our mother earth. Ways we can be good to the earth range from small things like:

• Swapping our light bulbs out for LED lights
• Turning lights off in rooms when we aren’t using them
• Unplugging chargers and computers when they aren’t being used
• Using less plastic
• Carrying reusable bags with us everywhere we go
• Recycling
• Walking and biking to use less fuel
• Using less electricity
• Taking shorter showers
• Turning off the faucet when we brush our teeth
• Using less paper
• Consuming less
• Cooking at home more
• Teaching our kids about nature and our impact on it

Some of the bigger things we can do are:

• Choosing fuel efficient cars
• Advocating for alternative power like wind and solar
• Putting solar panels on our roofs
• Agitating against things like fracking that are detrimentally harmful to our environment building with salvaged items
• Composting

The list goes on and on…!
