Daryl Hannah wants to adopt.

The 46-year-old actress doesn't want to go down the same route as Angelina Jolie and Madonna and adopt from a different country, because she believes there are too many children in the US who need a home.

She said: "There are more than half a million children here in the US who need to be adopted or need homes, so-called 'hard to adopt kids' because they're not babies and come from troubled backgrounds, so I think that's probably the way I'd go."

The ardent environmentalist revealed she is often approached by celebrities wanting advice on how to ‘go green'.

She said: "A couple of days ago, I was at a party at Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas' house for Al Gore to celebrate his Oscar-winning film 'An Inconvenient Truth'.

"Penelope Cruz and Leonardo DiCaprio were there and loads more stars. Melanie and Antonio's 10-year-old daughter Stella has convinced them to 'green' their houses, so I'm going to help them get solar power in their five homes and get their cars on biodiesel."
