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.”

Meatless Mouthful–Women Leave Russell Simmons For Vegan Life

Russell Simmons

“Most of the girls that I date are vegetarians . . . They always leave me, but stay vegans.”

Russell Simmons to the New York Post at the Bold Native premiere he hosted. According to Peta’s president’s opinion, he’s doing his job right. Ingrid Newkirk once said vegetarians and vegans should date meat eaters…and dump them once they’ve converted to start working on another person.

The women in Russell’s life must be very eager to break away from him to spread the vegan news.

Both men discuss international whaling treaties and Sea Shepherd’s work. Barker says the goal is to sink the Japanese whalers economically and claims this past year was especially successful because the whalers lost money.

Barker is big supporter of Sea Shepherd, having donated several million dollars to the cause.

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.

Between the two champs trying to save the country from processed meats, cancer and heart attacks…Who would you rather…
