Thanks to reader Pastafarian, we learn today that Leonardo DiCaprio has bought a gigantic new apartment in New York City. But don’t worry. It’s “eco-friendly”:

Environmentally conscious Leonardo DiCaprio is practicing what he preaches these days. The actor recently added an eco-friendly apartment in New York City to his impressive list of earth-healthy possessions, which already include a hybrid car and a solar paneled home in Los Angeles …

The 264-unit condominium glass tower overlooks the river and a park, and boasts low emission paints, a 24-hour fresh filtered air system, a water treatment facility and rotating solar panels.

Don’t you feel like a carbon-sucking schlub now? Well… Don’t. Blogger Les Jones has dug up a photo of DiCaprio’s Los Angeles mansion:

I don’t care if the palace that Titanic built is made of recycled Greenpeace brochures. Leo still uses more power than the average extended family of 50. He just has the luxury (and the bucks) to generate most of it himself.

I wonder how he heats the pool. Hot air from his publicist?
