Pierce Brosnan donates over $1 million to help the environment

Former James Bond star star Pierce Brosnan has donated over $1 million (GBP500,000) to help the environment.

The Irish actor, who now lives in Hawaii with his wife Keely and their children, has become a dedicated 'green' campaigner in recent years, receiving an Environmental Leadership Award from the Green Cross organisation in 1997. And he has set up a trust with his wife, which donates funds to eco-friendly organisations.

Brosnan has so far contributed over $1 million (GBP500,000) of his money to help the cause, and he is also urging members of the public to donate in their own way.

He says, "People can give back by donating to offset emissions such as planting trees and paying carbon tax when travelling in environmentally sensitive areas."
