It's Easy - But Expensive - Being Green - Just Ask Leonardo DiCaprio

Long-time environmental spokesperson Leonardo DiCaprio, seen here doing a little bike riding in the Big Apple with girlfriend Bar Rafelli on Saturday, has put his money where his mouth is - quite literally - and bought himself a new eco-conscious home.

The Associated Press reports that Leo just purchased an apartment in a 32-story building called Riverhouse, which overlooks the Hudson River in Lower Manhattan.

The apartments are very environmentally-friendly and the building has its own water-treatment facility, rotating solar panels and a 24-hour air-filtering system. The building also boasts a fitness center, 50-foot lap pool and it's own branch of the New York public library.

Of course, living green will coast you a lot of green, the building's web site says prices start at $835,000 for a one-bedroom dwelling to about $3 million for a four-bedroom home.

If I lived like Leo, I'm sure I'd have a much smaller carbon footprint, but I'd never be able to buy another pair of shoes - ever again.
