Famed Environmental Wackos Building 20,000 Square Foot House

Saving the planet is for the "Little People."



What kind of U.N. environmental ambassador builds a 20,000 square-foot home with a six-car garage, an elevator and a lagoon? Why, that would be the Hub’s favorite Pats fan, Gisele Bundchen!


And a paparazzo’s sneak pics of Bundchen and hubby Tom Brady's gargantuan new Brentwood, Calif., chateau has green activists seeing red.


“How big a space do two people need?” asked Philip Dowds, a Massachusetts Sierra Club official and professional architect. “A 20,000 square-foot house - the resources that it takes to put it together and the land that it needs, this just can’t happen anymore.”


According to photos taken by Los Angeles shooter Alec Byrne, who said he got a peek at the blueprints, the new West Coast lair of the Patriots star quarterback and his glam wife will feature amenities including:


a wine bar and gallery


a six-car garage


a service kitchen and butler room


a pool house and lagoon-shaped swimming pool and spa


a recreation room with 19-foot ceiling.


And the manse will have an elevator - even though that seems to contradict environmental advice Bundchen offers on her own Web site to “take the stairs.”
