Ally Shapiro Zarin, daughter of Real Housewives of New York City star Jill Zarin, is co-president of the New York chapter of “Teens Turning Green,” and has created “Project Green Dorm Room,” a guide for frosh and any college students who plan to live in the holding cell otherwise known as a dormitory on how to make the greenest experience of it.
“Basically, our mission is to start a huge movement to stop exposures to toxic environments throughout our lives,” Ally said to Mom Logic. “We try to make people rethink what they do in everyday life, like in their dorm. Just saying you want to be green isn’t enough. You have to get involved and do things actively. You have to change what you eat, what you do and what you buy.”
The Dalai Lama frequently receives criticism from some in the vegetarian community for continuing to eat meat while promoting non-violence. A former vegetarian, he started eating small amounts of animal flesh on the advice on a doctor after developing gall bladder issues and hepatitis.

Everyone could use a big wiener now and then. That’s why Peta brought models to Washington, D.C. dressed in veggie bikini wear to pass out faux hot dogs during National Hot Dog Month–without the animal protein. Last year, Playmate Jayde Nicole served up soy dogs and fixings, while this year model Vida Guerra gave the event some extra spice as she dressed in a swimsuit with dangling peppers and offered chili dogs to passersby on Capitol Hill.
It doesn’t get any more patriotic than this.

Will a movie about a solider returning home from war and working in a slaughterhouse turn everyone at the box office veggie? If they’re anything like the assistant director to Ryan Piers Williams‘ film The Dry Land, it might.
The assistant director gave up eating meat after filming a live slaughter of a cow during the movie, according to Contact Music.
Williams told WENN, “The cow was slaughtered and we shot it documentary style. We went to this slaughter house before we started shooting and that cow was going to be slaughtered on that day and we documented it. It was very brutal to watch and to witness.”
