Here’s your chance to get an eco-friendly candle autographed by a vegetarian celebrity and help out a good cause.

Vegetarian Esai Morales and several other celebrities have autographed several flameless candles produced by Enjoy Lighting that are being auctioned off for charity.

Three candles containing autographs from well known Hollywood figures such as Jayde Nicole, Terell Owens and Chaz Bono will be available to bid on from now until Sunday, March 20th at Auctioncause.com and all proceeds benefit Stand Up 2 Cancer.

Ran on batteries and powered by LED light sources, flameless candles provide an excellent alternative to soot burning ones for both safety and environmental purposes.

With a genuine wax exterior, the candles provide the beauty of burning ones but will not produce soot that contains carcinogens like toluene and benzene.

Cruelty to animals bites.

That’s why Vampire Diaries actor Ian Somerhalder is doing his best to put his teeth into those who abuse them through a new campaign at Change.org.

The campaign was created by Somerhalder’s foundation, the Ian Somerhalder Foundation, which the actor founded to draw awareness to environmental and animal issues. It seeks to reform The Prevention of Cruelty to Animal Act in British Columbia, some parts of which have not been revised in 100 years.

The ancient laws provide no regulation for businesses that work with animals. It was a recently infamous incident involving an employee that helped shoot and kill 100 sled dogs because tourism was slow that motivated Somerhalder.

Bruce Friedrich, Vice President for Policy with PETA, has criticized the U.S. government for not allowing U.S. Nationals to take their animal companions with them as they fled the turmoil-stricken area, likening it to the Hurricane Katrina rescue efforts in the United States that forced people to choose between risking their own lives or staying behind to protect their animals.
