"On the roof top of his American Hi Definition Building in the San Fernando Valley, solar panels create 100 kilowatts of energy. Ady Gil held a solar open house and green holiday gift festival during the holiday season to focus peoples' energy on clean cars, clean energy, and family fun instead of gifts. The open house featured sessions on biodiesel, green building, and world population.

"Ady Gil is devoted to the cause of animal welfare. He is a supporter of the Farm Sanctuary, an organization that rescues farm animals and works to educate people about cruelty to farm animals. He has also supported Earthlings, a documentary about animal suffering. The documentary focuses on the use of animals for food farming, entertainment, research, and in pet stores. The film is narrated by Joaquin Phoenix and has gone on to become one of the most comprehensive animal rights films, a film that gets all of its viewers thinking and talking."
