Vegetarian Star

Woody Harrelson is behind an innovative company that has spent more than a decade perfecting an eco-friendly wood-free paper.

Prairie Pulp & Paper is a Winnipeg-based company co-founded by the vegetarian and environmentalist actor that has created paper made from wheat straw–a product considered field waste by farmers that is often burned.

“I had a meeting with this engineer who is very knowledgeable about the making of non-wood pulp and paper mills,” Harrelson said. “I asked him who was the closest to making this happen in North America.”

Alicia Silverstone is endorsing an eco-friendly sex toy.

The Leaf is a vibrator that resembles the plant it was named after. It gets the Clueless vegan actress’ seal of approval for its Phthalate-free silicone and recycled material packaging.

“OK, ladies – sometimes it’s nice to have a little extra…something…when you’re getting it on (solo, with your partner…whatever floats your boat)” Silverstone said. “There is one personal massager company that’s actually Kinder than all the rest.”

Kristen Bell spoke with Shape Magazine about her environmental causes and passion for vegan cooking.

The actress has just partnered with Neutrogena Naturals for the “Jump in, Jump out, Join in,” campaign which encourages people to adopt water conserving habits, such as turning off the faucet while brushing one’s teeth.

“Environmental causes, including water conservation, have been a passion of mine for years. I recently visited Ethiopia with an organization called Charity Water and saw the water crisis firsthand, which inspired me to take a closer look at where my own water came,” Bell said.

Amy Smart and other stars were asked at the 22nd annual Environmental Media Awards what they would do if they had superhero powers to make the world greener.

Place a cape on Smart and a pesticide zapping dagger in her hand as she says she “would make everything organic.”

That’s a great ideal, but you don’t need omnipotent organic superhero powers to make the world greener or even your family’s kitchen. Just pay attention to the major “monsters” of conventional that should be zapped–or at least bought in the organic form as often as possible.

“Being brought up on an organic farm and having a different way of looking at life comes into everything that I do. From day one I didn’t want to be a hypocrite. What we hope to do is to isolate out a mill to just start the process, one that we will work with on a daily basis. The whole idea of improving one’s environmental footprint in this industry is you have to work with people.”

—Stella McCartney to Vanity Fair, on the issue of producing environmentally conscious clothing. Stella’s brand has recently partnered with the Natural Resources Defense Councils’ “Clean By Design” a program meant to highlight ways to reduce pollution and make the most of energy resources at one of her clothing mills.

See below for the dates where you’ll find Sea Shepherd doing some Amazing work.

“I want my jokes to be at a higher level. I want jokes with premises that really tap into something. Carlin did something where he really made people aware of political issues and environmental issues while making people laugh at themselves. He was calling people out on their stupidity in a way that made them laugh about it. That’s a skill. I would like to get there. It doesn’t have to be environmental. I am vegan, so I would like to do some animal rights jokes, but it would be more about the suppression in society.I would like to somehow take those serious issues and make people laugh about it.”

—Kate Wolff, vegan stand-up comedian who looks like she’ll be making fun of tofu in the future. Until then, enjoy her commentary on Grandpa has STDs below.
