How to hit a green activist where it really hurts…

Laurie David is one of the American eco-movement’s stars. She co-produced An Inconvenient Truth, runs the influential website stopglobalwarming.org and has worked with dozens of pop stars to help plug the message. She recently toured with over-enthusiastic eco-evangelist Sheryl Crow, whose determination to spread the message resulted in her famous toilet paper “joke”. In the US, Laurie David is - next to Al Gore - the ecology movement’s number two figurehead.

What I didn’t realise until I read this piece at ecorazzi - not being much of a celebrity hound - was that she is also married to Larry David, the creator of Seinfeld and star of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Or was married. She’s just filed for divorce - amicably, apparently. Larry David’s way of getting his own back? “I went home and turned all the lights on.”
