Leighton Meester went on Twitter to talk about fracking and linked to a video she’s part of -- along with Adrian Grenier, Zoë Kravitz, and more:

OMG. Earth Day is practically here! Sunday, 4/22 if you didn't know. We here at Act HQ thought about what to do for the big day (It's like our wedding day. Kinda.)

So we decided to holla at some of our fav MTV Stars (Tyler Posey! Colton Haynes! Ashley Rickards! Dan Savage! And more!) and ask them a super important question, "What would you miss the most if you had no electricity?"

You never know what you’ll find in someone’s trash. There might be some crazy stuff in there, but what’s even crazier is the fact you might be able to use trash to make beautiful artwork. It’s true! Jason Mecier, who is quite the creative artist, has taken trash from Lauren Conrad, Jesse Eisenberg, iCarly's Nathan Kress and other celebs and turned it into amazing mosaics. The mosaics, which you just have to see to believe, are being auctioned off on eBay until April 26, and money earned will be donated to Keep America Beautiful.
