Robin Wright Penn Goes Green for Her Kids

Like so many moms, having children has motivated Robin Wright Penn to lead a more eco-friendly lifestyle. To that end, she's taken the 'EcoMom Challenge' -- a program from the EcoMom Alliance which lays out ten easy-to-follow steps on how we can all work together for a sustainable future. Says the 42-year-old actress,

I get way too overwhelmed if I focus on the larger global picture. But as a mom, I can do these small things on the [EcoMom Alliance] list and know I'm doing something positive and protective.

Robin has two children -- 17-year-old Dylan Frances and 14-year-old Hopper Jack -- with husband Sean Penn
