Anne Hathaway times her showers to help the environment.

The 'Interstellar' actress revealed she does a number of things to help preserve the planet and is conscious of trying to keep her carbon footprint to a minimum.

Asked what she does to safeguard the environment during a press conference to promote her new film 'Interstellar' in London yesterday (29.10.14), the 31-year-old star explained: "I time my showers. I try not to over-consume things. I used to be a vegan but now that I'm not, I try to make sure of the source so I know where things come from that I'm supporting, especially small businesses that have practices that I believe in.

"I'm just trying to be switched on and like everybody, do the best I can."

Jessica Chastain, her 'Interstellar' co-star, revealed she follows a vegan diet and called on the public to reduce its meat intake as a means of helping the planet.

The 37-year-old actress said: "I'm vegan and I don't think that everyone should be vegan.

"But I do believe in things like meatless Mondays. I think that if everyone in the world gave up meat for one day, it'd make a huge difference in terms of the carbon footprint."
