Irish actor Pierce Brosnan is serious about protecting the planet.

He may be more well known for his role as James Bond than for his eco-activism, but don’t be fooled — Irish actor Pierce Brosnan is serious about protecting the planet. In 2008, he was inducted into Environmental Hall of Fame as a “dedicated environmental activist.” As we reported in in 2010, Brosnan and his wife have donated more than $1 million to environmental projects, including, “protecting marine life, conserving wetlands, pursuing clean air and water campaigns and partnering with the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) to prevent Navy sonar systems from being deployed since they are notorious for pushing already endangered seafaring creatures species over the brink into extinction…[Brosnan] also holds a position on Oceana’s Ocean Council, is a member of the Sea Shepherd’s Board of Advisors and has been a long-term UNICEF Ireland ambassador.

To top it off, the Brosnan family lives in what might be one of the most eco-friendly houses in the U.S. The Malibu mansion’s features include:

  • Amount of solar photovoltaics integrated is so great, that the Brosnans can actually sell the surplus electricity generated back to the grid.
  • All water is recycled on site. Home also features a waste disposal system and a solar-powered revolving compost heap.
  • $400,000 custom-built climate-controlled, energy-saving lighting system.
  • Non-glare, insulated windows.
  • Low-flow toilets, recycled wood flooring
