Now that she’s soon going to be a mom-of-three, it seems that Julia Roberts is determined to do her bid to protect the environment.

The Pretty Woman star, who is due to give birth to her and husband Danny Moder’s third child this summer, is revamping her new 20 million dollar Malibu mansion to make it an eco-friendly place.

A family friend revealed that Roberts is fixing up the couple’s new solar-powered home with the latest state-of-the art green gizmos and gadgets. The insider revealed that the home was to be built with wood from "sustainably managed forests".

"Even the bathrooms will have recycled tiles," a source told Life + Style magazine.

And, once her eco-friendly home is ready, Roberts plans to turn her attention to fuel.

The actress admits that she had no problems driving around in a car that made her smell like French fries, if it meant that her kids’ future would be better.

"I have a hybrid car, but I want something that runs on vegetable oil. I think it's a small price to pay to smell like a French fry," she said.
