Natalie Portmanhas delivered many performances over the years that have seen her play a variety of roles. In her real life, one of the roles she plays is ensuring she does her part when it comes to tackling climate change. Having moved into film and TV production with her own company MountainA, which she runs with Sophie Mas, Portman is now busier than ever, but still manages to ensure her personal beliefs about combating climate change are at the forefront of her home life and a consideration when she is working.
Speaking toThe Hollywood Reporter, Portman was asked about how regularly the subject of climate change is discussed by the actress and her family. In response, she said:
“We talk about it a lot in our household in terms of how we live, what we choose to do. My veganism is in large part an environmental choice, along with animal welfare. I haven’t bought or used any leather or fur or animal products in 20 years. I use a car-share app that is all electric cars. I buy vintage clothes, and only if absolutely necessary, and of course repair damaged items, most recently a handbag, rather than buy a new one. When we travel, we try to organize our trips to places we can go by train; or if we have to fly, to stay long enough to justify the travel. The library plays a big role in the family consciousness as well — a place where we can get joy and greater selection by sharing and not owning. It’s a process, and clearly imperfect, but the consciousness is there.”
