Apparently, those who wish to cut back on their fossil fuels use and instead turn towards a more environmentally-friendly four-wheeled way to get around can now do so in George Clooney's electric car, a limited-edition Tesla Roadster purchased just a few years ago.

Thus, the car will be auctioned towards the end of this month (on the 19th of August, to be more precise), and everyone interested in doing something for the environment is expected to take their chance.

True, the person who will end up owning the car will also have something to brag about to his friends and family, but let's maintain that this car is so appealing because of its diminished ecological footprint.

Rumor has it that whatever money George Clooney will get for this EV will go into preventing wars in southern Sudan.

As one of the people in charge of organizing the auction correctly pointed out, “This is an incredible opportunity to purchase a modern collector car with all the right elements: one-owner, celebrity provenance; historical significance; limited-edition rarity and philanthropic ties.”
