Earth Day auction raises $2 million for environment

Stars including Salma Hayek and Ted Danson turned up to Christie’s Green Auction in New York to bid on lots including a painting by Damien Hirst and a round of golf with former U.S. President Bill Clinton.

Avatar actress Sigourney Weaver donated a dinner and theatre date, Hugh Jackman offered up a trip to one of his movie sets, and Candice Bergen promised one lucky bidder a tour of New York’s Central Park.

The event, which was hosted by Chevy Chase, marked the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day, reports Reuters.
