Cate Blanchett has been a green activist since her school days and is quite appalled how people like her are a rarity!
Cate and her husband Andrew Upton, who are the artistic co-directors of the Sydney Theatre Company, want to make their office the first green premises on Sydney Harbour. She said, "We would have greened the internal offices anyway, but then Andrew said, 'This place is perfect to put solar panels in and take it off the grid completely,' " and we just went ahead and did it!"
She added, "If theatre is not engaged in its time and place, and connecting itself to the immediate and current concerns of society, then it very quickly becomes irrelevant." The couple live in an ecofriendly house, complete with solar panels, rainwater tanks and facilities that use natural airflow to keep the house cool. The ecofreindly couple hope that everyone takes up the cause of protecting and conserving one's environment.
