James Van Der Beek Goes Green at Home

James Van Der Beek and AnnaLynne McCord attend the “Trident Liberate Fun Tax Day Event” held at the Hollywood & Highland courtyard on Tuesday (April 17) in Hollywood.

The 35-year-old Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23 actor recently shared how he’s eco-friendly at home with his wife and kids.

“We’ve got a solar-heated pool,” James told E! Online. “It works pretty well in the summer. It doesn’t work quite so well in the wintertime. It’s old school – the panels go up on a heating coil on the roof and the sun heats it and it goes back down.”

“We buy organic, we recycle, drive a diesel car,” he added. “Organic, non-toxic cleaning supplies, everything from dishwasher to detergent and soap … My wife made her own almond milk yesterday. We’re very much into that.”
