Quietly, subtly, the 32-year-old guru of eco-­living — who parlayed an environmental-activist adolescence into a career that includes ­greening-over starlets, turning found objects into TV- and magazine-worthy craft projects, authoring gorgeous lifestyle how-to books, and, most recently, launching Wholearth, an organic bath and beauty line — owned up to a serious case of ordinary, everyday, run-of-the-materialistic-mill home lust.
