The day started a long, long time ago, but Daryl Hannah’s got that laid-back, just-woke-up vibe — occasionally stumbling for a word, inserting a slow, easy laugh here and there. And who can blame her? She’s been working long nights shooting a film in /Users/vicshayne/Desktop/darylHannah.jpgVancouver, B.C., about dirty cops. And on the weekends, she works on her new eco-video blog. Go to: http://www.dhlovelife.com/

Sure, every celeb can give lip service to positive change, but Hannah actually spends most of her spare time walking the walk. The latest proof is her video blog, a series of five-minute films that offer snapshots of how people around the globe are helping each other, and the earth.

In the first spot (http://www.dhlovelife.com/archive/index1.html), Hannah takes a lick off the gas cap of her 1983 biodiesel el Camino. The french-fry grease that powers it, she says, has a toxicity level “somewhere between table salt and maple syrup.” For another, she filmed her visit to Rwanda, where she encountered mountain gorillas — the country is home to the last 350 of the endangered creatures — and helped christen a village’s cisterns for World Water Day. A third video finds her profiling an organic vegan “junk food” joint. She plans to debut a new movie every Monday. Hannah says, “Basically, I’m trying to show a vision of an exciting and inspirational people.”
