at .

We are celebrating Earth Day with these environmentally conscious TV characters!

From carpooling to staging protests, these 11 characters make an effort to reduce their carbon footprints and do their part to protect the environment.

So recycle your water bottle, ride your bike, and celebrate Earth Day with these 11 characters!

 

1. Leonard and Sheldon - The Big Bang Theory

Leonard and Sheldon carpool to work every day. Granted, it is because Sheldon doesn't drive, but we are giving them credit anyway. One less car on the road can still make a difference!

2. Lisa - The Simpsons

Lisa is about as environmentally conscious as they come. She begged her mom to help clean up an oil spill, she tried to protect Springfield's oldest tree from being cut down, and she fought against Mr. Burns' fracking operation. When someone tries to hurt the environment in Springfield, Lisa is there to fight back!

3. Marshall - How I Met Your Mother

Marshall's whole reason for becoming a lawyer was his desire to help the environment. He took a job at Honeywell & Cootes, one of the biggest environmental law firms in the country in order to pursue his dream of saving the world.

4. Jesse - Saved by the Bell

Jesse was always ready to stand up for what she believed in, and staged quite a few protests over the show's run. When all of her friends were enjoying their cut day at the beach, Jesse was protesting the use of polystyrene cups at their school. She even chained herself to a mock derrick to protest oil drilling.

5. Topanga - Boy Meets World

In the early years of the series we saw Topanga's hippy side, and with it her strong convictions to protect the environment. She and Cory even partnered up on a project about the ozone layer. Topanga put a lot of effort into her poem for that one.

6. Phoebe - Friends

Phoebe has always cared about animal rights and the environment. She's a vegetarian, and she even broke up with her boyfriend after he shot a bird. She did not like it when people cut down trees for Christmas, and she even made a woman apologize to a tree after witnessing her put out a cigarette on it.

7. Captain Planet - Captain Planet and the Planeteers

Captain Planet and his planeteers work together to fight super-villains called "Eco-Villains" from destroying the planet. They use a solar-powered flying machine and do their best not to cause any pollution, which makes Captain Planet vulnerable.

8. Leslie - Parks and Recreation

Leslie stood for the side of the enviroment during her campaign for City Council. She is pro-environmental regulation, clean water, improving greenways, adding more trash cans, cleaning up Barefoot Lake, and clean energy, among others.

9. Greenzo - 30 Rock

Greenzo was cast to be NBC's environmental mascot. He's a success at first, but Jack gets fed up with him constantly criticizing the staff for their non-environmentally conscious habits and fires him.

10. Dharma - Dharma and Greg

Dharma may be a mostly care-free woman, but when it comes to the environment she's ready to take a stand. She once protested a new amphitheater when she discovered it was going to be built on a precious wetland.

11. Non - Supergirl

Okay, so he's crazy and evil, but he did technically want to save Earth from the effects of global warming. Turning humans into mindless zombies who spent all their time working to solve the world's problems may not have been the best way to go about it though.
