There’s been a considerable amount of buzz surrounding the Nissan Leaf, as the electric car has been lauded as a large step forward in green living. Now, the company has taken things one step further as A-lister Ryan Reynolds has joined with Nissan in support of the innovative car.

Reynolds, who stars in the upcoming action flick "The Green Lantern," believes that investing in alternative energy is an important step in the move to live a more eco-friendly lifestyle. The move is nothing new for Reynolds, who has championed numerous eco-friendly causes throughout his career.

"I believe it's possible to take great leaps forward without sacrificing a way of life. For me electric vehicles, like the Nissan Leaf, are not only representative of taking back the power, but also a significant statement about conscious ways of living," said Reynolds.

Though seeing the Nissan Leaf as a staple on U.S. highways may be a few years off, there are still plenty of hybrid cars eco-conscious drivers can choose from, including versions of the Ford Fusion and Ford Escape.
