‘We Are at a Tipping Point’: Celebrities Who Are Saving the Earth (and How They’re Doing It) – PEOPLE.com

Woodley has always been open about her best practices for saving Earth: foraging for food, sourcing her own water and making her own cheese and soaps, for starters. In 2016, she put her activism to work publicly, getting arrested at a protest against the Dakota Access Pipeline in North Dakota. 

In an essay for TIME, she spoke more about her choice to travel to North Dakota to stand with indigenous people fighting to keep their water clean.

“When the Dakota Access Pipeline breaks (and we know that too many pipelines do), millions of people will have crude-oil-contaminated water. I know it is easy to be apathetic or detached from the reality that fossil fuel contamination could actually affect you and the ones you love… But hear me loud and clear: If you are a human who requires water to survive, then this issue directly involves you,” she wrote.

“Don’t let the automatic sink faucets in your homes fool you — that water comes from somewhere, and the second its source is contaminated, so is your bathtub, and your sink, and your drinking liquid,” she added. “We must not take for granted the severity of this truth.”
