Naturally Savvy caught up with celebrity guests at the fashion house BCBG Maxazria's store on Rodeo Drive Beverly Hills for an evening of fashion and philanthropy hosted by Daniella Peters, Actress CSI Miami's Sofia Milos and Emmy Award winning stylist Birgit Muller. Guests were treated to a showcase of the clothing brand's holiday collection by Muller with proceeds from the evening's sales being donated by BCBG Maxazria to the Rally for Kids with Cancer Foundation chaired by Eva Longoria Parker. (Stars from TV and film came out to see the new collection while showing their support for the incredible cause).

Naturally Savvy Question (Andrea): How and what do you do to preserve the planet on a daily basis? Do you have any recommendations for our readers?

Jenny Barker: I actually walk to work a lot of times because I live really close to my job. I also own a flower shop and practice green waste disposal, so when I unwrap my flowers I put recycling in the recycling bin and green waste in the green waste bin. I also donate my clothes when I am done with them. I am starting a foundation where we will bring flowers to communities who want and need them but don't have the money or resources to buy them. The idea behind it is 'Flower Love'. As for recommendations, I would recommend walking more, because that's really good for weight loss and also for the mind (a lot of people are so stressed these days). I also think our society consumes way too much food – which in turn wastes a lot of food. 

Naturally Savvy Question (Andrea): On set, what can studios do to be more eco-conscious?

Jenny Barker: I see a lot more bikes being ridden around as opposed to golf carts. I also know at Google they are using scooters to get around at work. I think that’s a great idea becaue that way the employees are balancing their brains and exercising at the same time. It is also bringing them back to when they were kids—they are having fun. I think that's why Google is such a successful company.

Naturally Savvy Question (Andrea): If you could buy any hybrid car, which one would it be?

Jenny Barker: I would say the Lexus Hybrid right now.

Naturally Savvy (Andrea): Thanks Jenny!
