prince charles’ wine powered aston martini
prince charles has become one of the world’s leading celebrity environmentalists, and the most wealthy too i might add. his natural foods company and distillery are both doing quite well. 
charles instructed his mechanics to outfit his aston martin, a 21st birthday present from queen elizabeth, with a bioethanol engine which he’s taken to running on surplus wine. waste not, want not… even for the royal family, whose royal train runs on biodiesel. this is a great video to watch… especially the ending, where the reporter suggests a jet that runs on leftover champagne.

I think it’s great. Celebs are showing us that we can have a good time and still be healthy and responsible. I’ve seen the Purple site where they have recipes for cocktails that are made with Purple, so you can absorb more antioxidants and stuff while you relax, and I’ve seen sites where they show how to reduce, reuse and recycle just about anything. This is a great idea.

I just found this blog, and it is awesome!
It’s nice that he does that; if only all celebrities were as eco-conscious as Charles.
The man is a water sign, so maybe that explains the love of wine.
Keep up the good work!
