- Share via
Actress-exercise guru Jane Fonda is leading a celebrity entourage at a benefit tonight in Santa Monica for a statewide environmental protection initiative.
“We have to find a way to reverse this trend of pollution in our water and food and air, not to mention in the rest of the world,” Fonda said.
The sold-out event for the Environmental Protection Initiative of 1990 features performances by Bonnie Raitt and Ry Cooder. Those willing to plunk down an extra $250 will be able to rub elbows with Fonda and the performers during a post-concert reception. The initiative would ban certain pesticides, reduce the use of gases that deplete the Earth’s protective ozone layer and prevent oil drilling near the coast.
