Feed Trick-Or-Treat

You’ve checked the list of animal-free candy and ingredients to watch out for if an unknown brand gets placed in your child’s trick-or-treat pail. You’re religiously following the tips for a Cheap and Eco-Friendly Halloween, such as making costumes from clothing and fabric already in your closet or going to the local thrift store. The only way to top this off is to collect candy in a reusable bag designed for a great humanitarian cause.

Jason Mraz is up to nothing but good for the environment, as always. Besides offsetting the electricity at his home and studio with solar power, he’s currently on a three year transition to turn his farm from a conventional avocado one to an organic property offering a multitude of food crops.

On the farm, Mraz, named one of the top 40 farmers under 40, might be caught wearing bamboo and cotton tees available from a company at which he serves as vice president.

“I’m not a brand whore. I’ve always been a jeans and t-shirt kind of guy,” Mraz told the Huffington Post. “These days I prefer organic fibers because they feel better on my skin. Recently I co-founded BlendApparel.com, a green t-shirt company with transformative messages, that we hope keep our conversation going about our ever changing environment — Tees intended to inspire and empower the people, etc.”

Sun Chips Compostable

Alright, vegan, eco-friendly snackers. You’ve made too much noise opening your Sun Chips 100% compostable bags, too many people complained and now Frito-Lay is switching back to the less environmentally friendly, quieter bags. Were you munching on Sun Chips in the library?

Last year, Frito-Lay came out with a completely biodegradable bag as an alternative to its plastic ones. However, the downside is that the eco-friendly bags make more noise when opening and customers started complaining.

The company is now in the transition of making the switch to the old bags for all of the flavors except Original, which happens to be vegan. So, technically, vegans eating the totally plant-based Sun Chips may still get to munch in unison with Mother Earth.

We’re giving away 5 pairs of faux burger and faux sausage mixes. Think of it as matching his and hers gifts, only these fauxs are a lot classier than the cubic zirconia he tried to pull off for an anniversary gift instead of that eco-friendly mined rock she asked for.

Russell Simmons has gone  from founding a hip hop music label to creating an urban clothing line to now a reality TV show featuring the ins and outs of his daily life.

Running Russell Simmons premiers November 2nd on the Oxygen channel and chronicles Russell’s life and his staff, including one of his closest assistants Simone Reyes.

Kevin Bacon is edible. Even for the vegetarians. Even for the kosher vegetarians.

Dave Lefkow is one of the faux pork powers behind Bacon Salt, an imitation bacon flavor from J & D Foods, which has infused bacon flavor in mayonnaise, popcorn and other foods. Lefkow has created a bust of Kevin Bacon from the bits of Bacon Salt and the creation is being auctioned off on ebay to raise money for Ashley’s Team, a charity for children with cancer.
