Mary McCartney has designed 100% organic cotton t-shirts for the Danish children’s label Mini A Ture. The two shirts will benefit Sunway Children’s Home, an orphanage in India, which Mini A. Ture has supported since 2005.

The shirts are available at the Selfridges store in London, and can also be ordered online.

Choosing organic cotton to design the clothing aligns well with the McCartney family’s ideals to preserve the environment. It’s estimated that cotton crops use about a quarter of all agricultural insecticides applied globally each year and according to the EPA, 7 of the top 15 pesticides used on cotton crops are either known or potential human carcinogens.

If you’ve ever attended a state or county fair, you may have felt left out after discovering all the selection of fried foods contained meat. Now, vegans can go downhill as well with fried cupcakes shown in this video.

Disturbingly delicious looking, this may be used as last resort to entice the otherwise animal product junk food addict to cross over to our side.

Mentioned in the clip is a scheduled appearance by environmentalist Julia Butterfly Hill on Saturday, June 12 at 11:30AM at the Schlafly Tap Room in St Louis, Missouri. Hill became famous for living in a 1,500 year old tree in the Redwood Forest and has written the book, “The Legacy of Luna.”

The event includes vegetarian and vegan lunch and cupcakes from Sweet Art.

No word on if they’ll be fried but don’t count on it.

Sure, we love Martha Stewart, but will her new animal-friendly and eco-detergent get the acai stain out of our white jackets?

Tests conducted by Consumer Reports, unfortunately, say no.

After staining swatches with compounds such as wine, blood and grass, the group tested 50 different detergents for their ability to clean and remove spots in conventional and high efficient washing machines.

“In conventional top loaders, there was barely a difference between the swatches washed in Martha’s detergent and those washed in plain water. The results from high-efficiency washers were only slightly better.”

Race car driver Leilani Munter comes in as the #1 eco athlete on Planet Green’s Planet 100.

“At number one, biology graduate turned race car driver, Leilani Munter is on a mission to ensure every race car uses clean, renewable biofuels and every race track has a recycling program. Self described “Vegetarian Hippie Chick,” Munter uses her celebrity status to inspire race car fans to make a difference. She is focused on getting the 135 million Indy and Nascar fans to recycle and use efficient bulbs—small actions that add up to big changes.”

Leilani’s a fantastic example of a green athlete, given her diet and environmental activism, but how did Hannah Teter not make the cut?

“Like oil, meat is subsidized by the federal government. Like oil, meat is subject to accelerating demand as nations become wealthier, and this, in turn, sends prices higher. Finally — like oil — meat is something people are encouraged to consume less of, as the toll exacted by industrial production increases, and becomes increasingly visible.”

—Mark Bittman, author who applies the eat vegan before 6:00PM approach to reduce his meat intake, in an New York Times article titled Rethinking the Meat Guzzler.

The fact that Lea Michele calls herself a vegan, but still occasionally eats fish does annoy. After all, we’re only asking that she use to word pescatarian and avoid the Eco-Worst ones.

However, the Glee actress doesn’t consume Charlie without guilt, as Ok! magazine reported her as saying, “I feel bad about it because fish are animals too.”

Michele has previously stated the reason for her fishy breath was due to protein issues, but we can mouth off several dozen that don’t swim.

Any suggestions?

Ed Begley Jr. has an interview with Low Density Lifestyle that discusses his upcoming book, his motivations for going vegetarian and what he thinks about Meatless Monday initiatives.

Highlights from the two part discussion:

M.W.: The United Nations issued a report a few years back stating that meat consumption did more to affect climate change than all cars, trucks and planes combined. This lead Paul McCartney to start the Meat Free Monday campaign, urging people to not eat meat one day a week. Do you think not eating meat one day a week is enough to help halt global warming?
E.B.: No, but it’s a step in the right direction. I always encourage people to expand their green diet. It’s a good choice for the environment and for your health.
