Sometimes celebrities get a bad rap for speaking their minds, and even for just being who they are, instead of what everyone else wants them to be. However, more often than not, celebrities are committed to helping the environment and the people around them. With that in mind we are taking a look at what they are tweeting in relation to their fellow man and the planet. Below, are some select tweets by celebrities who are reaching out to their fans, followers and Mother Earth!
1. Torrey DeVitto
Torrey DeVitto stars as some not-so-likeable characters on TV, one in particular is “Pretty Little Liars,” but that doesn’t stop her from showing her love for animals in real life. This week she teamed up with PETA to support animal adoption and the ban against fur.
“Hey Guys! Check out this video Beau and I did for @peta http://www.peta.org/b/thepetafiles/archive/2012/04/10/pretty-little-liar-tells-truth-about-fur.aspx #FURFREE!”
2. Chris Colfer
“Glee” star Chris Colfer did a good deed this week when he adopted a cat! This isn’t the first time the actor helped animals. In 2011, he created original animal artwork to be sold and donated proceeds to a San Diego animal center.
“I adopted a cat today from the West Valley Animal Shelter! His name is Brian, he’s 8 years-old and 20 pounds! http://lockerz.com/s/200540572. It was heartbreaking to see so many sweet animals needing homes. Please think about rescuing!”
3. Spencer Grammer
Spencer Grammer is known for her role as the sorority girl on “Greek” and also as Kelsey Grammer’s daughter, but did you know she is also an avid gardener? She constantly tweets pictures of her garden and its progress.
