Sembra che per quest'anno Leo abbia deciso di modificare le cose per l'annuale gala a Saint-Tropez che organizza con la sua fondazione. Visto che quest'anno è il loro 20esimo anniversario, hanno deciso di spostarsi e fare tanti piccoli eventi a favore ambientale, partendo dalla Sillicon Valley, utilizzando solo ed esclusivamente materiali riciclabili e agenzie specializzate in queste cose.
Che le critiche che arrivavano puntualmente ogni anno abbiano avuto il loro effetto? niente più yacht e jet privati? 
CITAZIONE Leo trading in St-Tropez gala for glam environmental affair
Leonardo DiCaprio is flipping the script on his annual over-the-top summer gala, Page Six has exclusively learned, to celebrate his foundation’s 20th anniversary with an even more exclusive event.
The Oscar winner is skipping his foundation’s annual St-Tropez fete this year in lieu of a series of smaller ecological affairs.
We hear the first of the environmental fundraisers will be a VIP dinner Sept. 15 in Sonoma Valley, Calif., at a private ranch.
Since the event’s close to Silicon Valley, it’s expected to be a hot ticket for top tech types.
The location will also bring attention to the wildfires that have ravaged the region. “Leo is changing it up,” a pal exclusively told Page Six. “He’s having a series of smaller events.” The Sonoma fundraiser will be a “zero-waste event,” we hear, where “everything can be reused, no plastic, etc. — complete with a sustainability report from the event itself.”
The foundation’s working with Inward Point, a sustainable-events planning company that’s worked with clients from Comcast and Arizona State University to Brooklyn Bowl and Pioneer Works. We hear that, as part of the new initiative, art collector DiCaprio will still hold an event at this year’s Art Basel Miami Beach.
Last July, the DiCaprio Foundation gala at St-Tropez’s Domaine Bertaud Belieu vineyard included a surprise performance by Madonna. Lenny Kravitz also played for guests including Kate Winslet, Sean Penn and Tobey Maguire, while the gala’s chairs included Prince Albert II of Monaco , Cate Blanchett, Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz, Tom Hanks, Kate Hudson, Edward Norton, Emma Stone and Uma Thurman.
Works by blue-chip artists such as Damien Hirst, Urs Fischer and Richard Prince were auctioned off.
We hear that a big performer could be in the works for the Sonoma VIP gathering, and that save-the-dates go out next week.
PAGESIX
A me sembra una bella idea, magari stando negli States possono partecipare anche più persone.. anche se non saranno tutte straricche.
