British movie hunk Orlando Bloom is busy erecting forests all over the globe after becoming inspired by the beauty of New Zealand.

The actor has become an advocate for British-based environmental charity Future Forest, which offers celebrities the chance to "neutralise" their carbon emissions by planting trees.

Bloom says the natural beauty of New Zealand, which he saw while making the Lord of the Rings trilogy, inspired him to get more interested in the globe's environmental issues.

He says, "With Future Forest you purchase a certain amount of trees, so, in that way, whatever you're doing in life - taking planes or driving cars - you can make yourself carbon neutral.

"It's kind of cool because the amount of trees that you plant, respective to how much you use in terms of energy balances out what you do in the world. This makes you carbon neutral.

"I would never really have thought about that had I not been made aware of how beautiful the world is, particularly working in New Zealand."
