Vegetarian Star

Heather Mills‘ much talked about fashion line, Be@1, launched last week. The event took place at the Celebrity Catwalk charity in Hollywood Highlands. Be@1 takes used clothing and recycles it, helping to make Mother Earth a little more fashionable, ridding her of all the junk placed in her landfill trunk.

Heather states on her website:

“Society throws away over a million tones of clothing and textiles into the rubbish bins annually. Many of these items could be resold or remade into something new and exciting. This is why eco aware and fashion loving Heather had the idea to develop this new inspirational clothing line. The collection consists of women’s and menswear, designed for the assertive, fashionable and eco-conscious person. All the fabrics used in the pieces have been carefully sourced and remodeled into something unique and highly wearable. From a haute couture recycle lace white evening gown to a pair of high waisted trousers for the office, B@1 is about to show there is nothing trashy about recycling unwanted clothing!”

Be@1 will produce two collections per year for men, women, and children.

Everybody’s favorite “Vegetarian Hippie Chick” in race car driving has teamed up with a company that produces eco friendly t-shirts to produce her racing merchandise.

Leilani Munter will be driving the Firestone Indy Lights car at the season finale at Chicagoland Speedway on August 29.

Ecobabble has signed up to be one of Leilani’s partners in her quest to make race car driving more environmentally friendly.

A recycle bin will be placed in Leilani’s pit at the track for fans to place their soda and water bottles, which Ecobabble will use to manufacture 50/50 cotton/polyester t-shirts.

“I am excited to be working with Ecobabble to offer eco friendly merchandise,” said Leilani, “And I’d also like to thank Chicagoland Speedway for allowing me to have a recycle bin in my pit. Together we are teaming up to help make a greener world and I am just proud to be a part of it.”

Cool fact: It takes 5 plastic bottles to make one t-shirt.

If you started saving your cola bottles, you might never need to shop at The Gap again.

Moby just kicked off a series of concerts meant to help raise climate change awareness, the “Play to stop – Europe for climate,” a joint venture with MTV and the European Commission.

When Moby asked Al Gore why he didn’t include going vegetarian in the documentary on being green and saving the planet, “An Inconvenient Truth,” he got an “honest” answer.

“I asked Al Gore about why he didn’t mention this in ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ [as animal production is responsible for more greenhouse gases than every car, bus, truck, bus, plane and boat on the planet combined]. He answered honestly, basically saying that getting people to drive a hybrid car isn’t that difficult. Getting people to give up animal products is almost impossible. I appreciated his honesty.”

But wonder how many part time vegetarians could have been created if the diet was a least brought up sometime in the film?

Perhaps if those that label themselves environmentalists really knew the truth about the waste of resources and gas emissions from cows in the fields, they’d be motivated to at least stop eating meat for a day or two a week.

We’ll never know.

Gerald McCullouch made a name for himself in the acting business playing gun expert Bobby Dawson on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. He’s currently filming for the upcoming movie, BearCity.

It doesn’t take a forensic scientist to know the keys to solving the mystery of lessening the damage to the Earth lies in making several eco-conscious decisions across the board, including practicing vegetarianism.

He’s what New York Daily News calls “an occasional raw foodist” and several years ago bought and renovated a New York city apartment for only $295,000-all while keeping it sustainable and green.

“I wanted to keep my carbon footprint as low and cost-efficient as possible,” said McCullouch. “Actors sometimes have to live paycheck to paycheck, and it was important to keep my energy expenditures down.”

Short notice, but if you tune into the Food Network channel today at 1PM EST, you’ll see the premiere of former figure skating champion Brian Boitano do his thing on the new show, What Would Brian Botano Make?

WWBB  Make is bound to be cool, because, according to Mother Nature Network, Brian follows a more eco-friendly diet that consists of mostly vegetarian food, with a little fish here and there.

“I think my carbon footprint is pretty light,” Boitano said.

Check out the clip above to see Brian shake his hips and dance with a pepper grinder.

If we were eco pirates sailing the seas, we would have just hit the jackpot booty!

Paul Watson has given the LA Times an interview in which he tells all about how the crew eats vegan during their missions on the Steve Irwin boat to save whales on the Animal Planet series Whale Wars.

And there are recipes!

Fluffy vegan pancakes, chocolate banana cake, and Sea Shepherd chili!

On What the Sea Shepherd Crew Eats:
“I run my ship as a vegan vessel. It’s not for animal rights reasons but to set an example and to try and get people to think about the connection between what they eat and what we’re doing to the oceans, because it’s quite simple, really. I personally feel that it’s the most important cause on the planet; more important than anything else for the simple reason as this – if the oceans die then we all die. And we’ve removed 90% of the fish from the oceans. Marine ecosystems are in serious situation and it could collapse.”

On Who Cooks:
“I’ve got a great vegan cook, Laura Dakin. She’s worked part-time for Anthony Kiedis of the Chili Peppers, then she comes and works with us. She’s been with us for three years. We don’t force people. We just set an example, and say, “Try this while you’re on board, see what you think.” People think we’re some wacky animal-rights group. We’re not. We’re a conservation organization but what we’re saying is, look, we’ve got to be very aware of what we eat if you’re going to call yourself an environmentalist or a conservationist.”

Fred Mascherino is one of several celebrities that has a pair of MacBeth vegan shoes named in his honor.

But Fred doesn’t think he’s the vegan shoe god and seems a little embarrassed knowing foot gear was designed with him in mind.

From eujacksonville.com:

“Yeah, that was pretty ridiculous [laughs]. Those things should be reserved for Michael Jordan. But I’ve been working with the Macbeth Shoe Company for many years. I always wore their shoes, I always liked what their company was about. And they’ve always had shoes that were vegan, including the glue so I could wear a cool shoe that didn’t have leather or animal products as a part of it. I was always pretty supportive of what they were doing and we were friends at this point and they said, “Oh, let’s do a shoe together,” and I think it was a pretty big success because the shoe that I did kinda caught on and I guess people liked it. It was a win-win thing for everybody.”

Fred says factory farming really opens his eyes about the effects of mass produced meat on the environment.

“My reasons for being vegan are definitely not against people who disagree and I’m definitely not against the farmer and his cow. It’s more about the whole factory industry and the unhealthy part of it. A lot of things changed when we started doing factory farming and I kinda just don’t want any part of that. I also do it for environmental reasons because even just eating less meat is one way you can actually help lower global warming.”

Treehugger has compiled a list of their favorite celebrity green businesses and vegan star Heather Mills made the cut.

Not only does Heather run her little vegan cafe and restaurant in the UK called V Bites, she also recently purchased Redwood Wholesale Foods.

And that just makes Heather greenalicious!

From Treehugger.com:

“Last month we reported that Heather Mills opened Vbites Café, a seaside vegan establishment in the U.K. offering unique meatless meats and vegan favorites–accompanied by vegan and organic wines and beers. At the time, we had also caught wind of a potential new vegan frozen food business. While we at TreeHugger were skeptical over the motives, Heather Mills’ Web site now confirms that Mills is indeed the new owner of U.K.-based Redwood Wholesale Foods. And she isn’t stopping there: The company hopes to soon bring their meat-free brands to the U.S. for distribution.”

It’s no surprise a vegetarian business made the eco cut.

Meat’s not green and never has been.

Go Heather for making green so darn tasty!
