Vegetarian Star

Lisa Bloom, an attorney and legal expert who hosted her own talk show on Court TV and has served as a legal analyst for CNN and CBS news, is a lifelong vegetarian who eventually became a vegan.

Bloom thinks the answer to climate change is to adopt a vegan diet, and discusses why in this clip taken during an interview when she attended a book signing event for Gristle, a collection of essays co-edited by Moby, on the effects of factory farms on the planet.

Jack Johnson "To The Sea"

Jack Johnson‘s latest release, To The Sea, is part of a package, literally, of environmental activities to accompany his tour for the album.

To The Sea is printed on 100% post-consumer-waste recycled paper and carries the 1% For The Planet logo, which means Johnson has pledged to give 1% of net sales to causes that preserve and restore the Earth.

The veggie Hawaiian laulua lover who says although he keeps his home meat-free, he’ll eat anything someone feeds him outside, is ensuring his crew eats using ingredients from local, organic farmers whenever possible. He has also partnered with Johnson’s All At Once Community, which aims to educate fans on eating local.

Guster’s Adam Gardner is the face of the Green Music Group’s latest challenge to eat local, and while he’s one of the leading forces behind this campaign, he has his wife to thank for greening another area of his diet.

“It was really my wife’s environmentalism that rubbed off on me!” Gardner told Good. “Once we started living together, suddenly I was eating vegetarian, composting, walking everywhere, running the laundry machine in off-peak hours. It was the dichotomy between how I was living at home and what life on the road was like with my band (gas–guzzling tour bus, trash all over the place at the end of a show, awful fast food, etc.) that sparked the idea for Reverb in the first place.”

On the track, this professional race car driver has placed recycled bins and sold t-shirts made from plastic bottles to spread her eco-friendly message to her fans.

Best Eco-Friendly Tip To Readers:
I want everyone to realize how much a choice at the dinner table can affect our environment. The single most important thing that you can do to help our planet is to cut back or, even better, give up eating meat. I know that not everyone reading this is going to become vegetarian, but I hope they will at least try to reduce their meat consumption, even if it’s just one day a week like meatless Monday!

A little update on that vegetarian sushi roll named after season 5 winner of Project Runway, Leanne Marshall. Although previous reports said Marshall had created the roll herself, The Portland Mercury is reporting the roll was already on the menu, and H50 Bistro & Bar simply named it after her, once she described what she looks for in a sushi roll.

Marshall said, “Basically, I told him that I normally go for vegetarian/non-fish sushi and then my favorite things: avocado, hot sauce, cilantro (and then listed pretty much all the ingredients to make a burrito. Ha!) As long as it had avocado and something spicy, I left the rest up to the professional chef. If it were me making it, yes, I would probably have tried to make burrito-sushi, and it would likely be a disaster!”

A picture of the burrito-sushi can be viewed below.

Summer Rayne Oakes and Payless ShoeSource are bringing vegan, eco summer shoe fashion at an affordable price to environmentally conscious fashionistas with its summer lineup of Zoe & Zac shoes.

Zoe & Zac’s summer collection features six women’s footwear styles and two handbag styles, all of which receive environmentalist and TV host Oakes’ consultation to ensure the shoes have the lowest impact on the environment.

“I am energized each season to work with Payless on the latest Zoe & Zac seasonal line,” said Oakes. “We begin by targeting the strongest trends of the season, then work to create those silhouettes, colors and details with innovative green materials and processes. The end result is a stylish and eco-friendly line that shoppers can afford, thus breaking down the barriers to sustainable style. The Zoe & Zac products don’t look like the other green shoes out there — they are all about fashion-first and each season I am truly proud of the collection.”

Project Runway season 5 winner Leanne Marshall has designed a fashionable, edible treat that will benefit the cleanup efforts directed at the Gulf Coast oil spill.

For each month during the summer, H5O Bistro & Bar in Portland, Oregon has teamed up with local celebrities to create a sushi roll that benefits the celebrity’s charity of choice.

Marshall created a vegetarian sushi roll with cabbage salad and spicy aioli that benefits Oceana, Eater reports. The organization is the largest international one dedicated to ocean conservation.

Oceana has created a map that is regularly updated on the oil spill and the areas it affects, especially as it pertains to wildlife. Wildlife covered in oil and areas of oiled beaches are indicated, as well as the thickness of the oil in a particular area. Wildlife tracked include brown pelicans, sea turtles, and tuna.
