The real light bulb is encased in a block of polished acrylic resin, emitting a blueish glow perfect for an evening ambiance. Plus, there’s no need to plug it in. Delightful!

Everyone was buzzing about the importance of going green last night during Christie’s Green Auction, but we put the chicsters to the test, asking them: what’s the greenest thing you did this week? Behold!

WHAT'S THE GREENEST THING YOU DID THIS WEEK?

“Teaching my daughter, Valentina, not to waste water. It’s a very hard green thing to do because she absolutely loves playing around in the water.”-Salma Hayek

“I did a 20 minute Inside the Actor’s Studio-type interview with the Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger. That was green!”-James Lipton

 “They offered me plastic at the store and I said no thank you. I just put the item in my purse without a bag; hopefully no one thought I was shoplifting.”-Anne Curry

“I tried to turn the water off while I was brushing my teeth.”-Al Roker

“I am so anti-plastic. I loathe, loathe packaging and I fight against it with all my might.”-Daphne Guinness

“I’ve been green my whole life. I always rode my bike as a kid. I only use green toilet paper and I walk from where I live in Chelsea all the way uptown.”-Doutzen Kroes

“I was driving around in my Camry hybrid in LA and it gives me great pleasure!” –Ted Danson

“I got this bottle at a flea market and it’s my water bottle. I feel very old-fashioned.”-Andy Cohen

“I had meetings today here in America and we spent two hours during the six hour meeting devoted entirely to the environment and what should be done.”-Christie’s owner, Francois Pinault  

 “I flew commercial!”-Linda Fargo
