The hunky, blue-eyed babe that is Jake Gyllenhaal is lending his celebrity for the National Green Schools Initiative, lending a hand to plant a garden during Green Service Day at Manual Arts High School in Los Angeles last month.

Gyllenhaal joined Global Green USA President Matt Petersen for the launch of the National Green Schools Initiative.

Gyllenhaal said, “What I learned is that something like this is possible. There are so many things that I’ve thought of [including making] gardens like this. I had always thought this is possible on a mass scale. This is possible within a massive city like Los Angeles!”
