Sophia’s posted a new entry at her blog. Check it out here. We’ve included an excerpt below but you can read the whole entry through the link.

So my Little Voices! I ask you to do this with me. In the spirit of “paying it forward,” in the spirit of saving paper, and in the spirit of making our voices heard, join me in this experiment. Stop sending paper fan mail. Start making a difference. Whatever you would have spent on a letter, a scrapbook, yes, even a bottle of wine (le sigh), pay it forward! Visit my crowdrise page, at www.crowdrise.com/sophiabush, and donate the cost of whatever that letter, or scrapbook, or bottle of wine would have been. Contribute $2.00, $5.00, $10.00, $40.00, or $400.00!! And post a message on my page. Because I actually read those! And I will see your words. You can post a photo, a story, a favorite quote from my show or one of my movies, and I will see it. And I will smile. And we will waste no paper. We will raise money for people who need it. Because your little voice, your one little letter, adds up to $2,250.00 a MONTH! Imagine if we raised that much, and more, this month. And next month. And every month. Imagine how loud our voices will be then.

I’ve got the first batch of season 3 caps in HQ DVD quality. We’ll be working on replacing the bonus features from season 2 soon.

Season 3 Opening Credits
3.01 – Like You, Like An Arsonist
3.02 – Edge of the Deep Green Sea
3.03 – First Day on a Brand New Planet
3.04 – An Attempt To Tip The Scales

Not many people can claim they go to the same lengths as Sophia Bush does to keep the Earth green. The One Tree Hill admits she is crazy about recycling.

“I’m kind of crazy about it and have been for a really long time,” she told On The Red Carpet’s Chi-Lan Lieu at the recent “Darker side of Green” debate series event in Los Angeles. “I will go through the airport on two flights to get from L.A. to Wilmington or back, and carry all of my recyclables with me if they’re not recycling on the plane.”

She says, “I think the biggest step towards helping and ‘greening’ your life is to be aware.”

Bush also said she’s glad the green movement has become somewhat chic in Hollywood.

“It’s great that people are realizing that it’s not just a hippie thing to do, it’s something we all need to do,” she said. (Source)

The last of season 2 has been capped in HQ DVD versions.

2.21 – What Could Have Been
2.22 – The Tide That Left And Never Came Back
2.23 – The Leavers Dance

Alrighty guys! Here is my crowdrise page. http://bit.ly/df5Emn Let’s raise some cash for the Gulf! If all 40K of you did $5 … IMAGINE! – Sophia

Sophia has created a crowdrise page to raise money for the Gulf. You can donate through the page.

As for why Sophia has chosen the Gulf as her cause, she’s wrote the following on her page:

I’ve loved the outdoors since I was a little girl. I wanted to spend my Saturdays cleaning up the beach rather than watching cartoons.

I have been weirdly obsessed with Louisiana and Africa since I was little. In the 5th grade a colored a whole bunch of 8×10 sheets of paper like African flags and hung them all over my bedroom. But I haven’t been. Yet.

I have been to Louisiana many times. I’ve lived and worked there. I’ve run, laughing, through humid courtyards at midnight, and discovered unbelievable people there. And someday I hope to have a home in New Orleans, so that I can finally spend as much time there as I want!

Places and people affect me so much that sometimes a conversation with stranger can reduce me to tears. And that’s why I fight for them. For people. For the places, and the ways of life, that they love.

WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR ME: Because the Gulf matters. The people matter. A green, clean future for our nation and for our WORLD matters!! And because I’m a fun chick. And … because it doesn’t hurt! Just click.

Check out her page on crowdrise and donate if you can! You can donate no matter what country you live in.

Today’s Sophia’s birthday and we wanted to take a moment to wish her a happy birthday. We hope she has an amazing day!

If you have a twitter account you can send her your birthday wishes at @SophiaBush!

Per her twitter, her birthday wish from fans is:

For my bday I would be honored if all 38,000 of you signed the Declaration of Energy Independence! Make me proud! http://bit.ly/cVg5pO xo
