The Goode Family premiers tonight on ABC at 9PM EST.

The Goodes are the impossibly and probably a tad bit annoying politically correct liberal family that go out of their way to retain that reputation. They’re all vegans, including the family dog, Che. Hint: Che is a vegan dog who cheats-on the neighborhood pets! They recycle and compost. They even attempt to adopt a child from Africa, but mistakenly get one from South Africa-who happens to be white.

Some vegan, eco-lovers out there might take offense to how the Goodes are portraying the lifestyle, but hey, if we can’t laugh at ourselves we’re in hotter water than global warming can produce.

The Goode Family was created by Mike Judge, the same guy who brought us Beavis and Butt-head and King of The Hill.

Liberty Lord Phoenix Has Eco-Friendly Home Supply Store

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, May 11th, 2009 in Actresses, Business, Environment-Eco-Green.

20th Century Fox Premiere Of Walk The Line

Although not as active in the film industry as her siblings, Liberty Lord Phoenix (shown on left), sister of Joaquin Phoenix, has film credits from the 80s, including Kate’s Secret and Seven Brides For Seven Brothers.

Not that she would have time for that anyway, as this lady has just celebrated the second anniversary of her business, Indigo Green Store in Gainesville, Florida. Her store specializes in environmentally friendly and non-toxic building and home supplies and gifts.

Indigo’s shelves are stocked with eco-friendly products from natural based cleaners to bamboo flooring

Liberty credits her parents for her success and awareness of what it means to be a responsible citizen of the planet.

“Both of my parents raised me vegan and have taught me to love and respect the Earth through not eating animals, recycling, organic gardening, conserving resources and doing all I can on a daily basis to help reduce my impact,” she said.

Good to know she’s appreciative of mom and pop’s teachings now, but wonder if she rebelled with a cheese pizza in her youth like Joaquin did?

Now, vegan Bones’ star Emily Deschanel is throwing some love to Chloe’s website on late night television.

On a recent episode of Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, Deschanel gave the shout out:

“My favorite website that I can’t live without is GirlieGirlArmy.com because it has fashion and eco-fashion and a recipe every week. They send out a newsletter so you can find out what’s going on. That’s the one I love.”

Watch the video to hear what else Emily can’t do without.

Ed Begley Jr. Says Being Veg Can Help You Move Up The Ladder

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, May 5th, 2009 in Actors, Environment-Eco-Green.

National Resources Defense Council 20th Anniversary CelebrationActor and environmentalist Ed Begley Jr. will be the Keynote speaker at the Carnegie Science Awards in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania this Friday.

Ed plans to tell everyone to get involved with science, as awareness of the discipline can help the environment tremendously.

“If we had a good scientific awareness … I think the environment would fare better,” Begley said, according to pittsburghlive.com.

He cited numerous activities he took up to save money as a young adult that inadvertently lessened his environmental impact, including going vegetarian, riding a bike, and recycling. Doing these activities, he claimed, can really help you “move up the ladder.”

“When you save money from that, as I did, then you can move up the ladder and maybe buy some attic insulation, double-pane windows or a rain barrel,” he said. “It took me 20 years to be able to afford solar panels.”

Go veg now and in the next 20 years you might be able to show off your flashy solar panels to your envious neighbors.

23rd Annual Genesis Awards - ArrivalsActress Jorja Fox hung out with the folks at GreenWithGlamour.com for their seasonal celebrity photoshoot and the crew enjoyed munching on vegan goodies, like curried mango and tempeh sandwiches.

Jorja was a multi-tasker that day as after the photo shoot she put on PETA t-shirt to pose for yet another photo campaign, this time to end the clubbing of Canadian seals.

Back to that tempeh recipe…Yum, yum, yum.

These sandwiches sound pretty simple to make, with chunks of mango and sliced scallions tossed into a pita with tempeh cubes and a dressing containing vegan mayo, curry, and lime.

Not to mention a nice food porn picture to give you something to salivate to.

The Cinema Society and MCM host a screening of Obsessed - outside arrivals

“People don’t understand what it is to lighten their footprint, what steps to take. So if we give them the simple steps and we tell them exactly how much it affects the environment if they make certain changes—being a vegetarian, doing other things that make a dramatic difference in how much weight they carry in the world—people want to know that. When they realize that by changing simple things they can make a difference, it’s an empowerment vehicle.”

—-Russell Simmons, in an interview with grist.org on the little steps people can take to reduce their carbon footprint. Yes, being a vegetarian is a great way to lighten their footprint. Even if it means cheating every once in awhile.

Russell Simmons Sneaks Fish, Eggs In Vegan Diet

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, April 24th, 2009 in Business, Environment-Eco-Green, Food & Drink.

OMG! Vegan Russell Simmons has just admitted to eating fish every once in awhile and not caring about the egg in his noodles.

On a recent interview with msnbc.com, Russell announced a contest he is holding to find America’s Greenest Campus where colleges can compete and measure their carbon footprint before and after making changes.

While discussing being green, Russell mentioned all of the little things people can do to go greener when he mentioned a very, very big thing to reduce our carbon footprint.

“We can be a vegetarian, which is probably the greatest thing we can do. The greatest cause of global warming is the animal abuse. By far more than all the forms of transportation put together.”

Even if this means we stray and eat a little fish every now and then. When the topic turned to celebrity hypocrites, the famed vegan Russell Simmons admitted that even he sometimes slips up.

“I’ve been a vegan for 10 years, but you know sometimes when no one’s looking, I eat fish. I do the best I can. And then [I’ll have some] egg in my egg noodle.”

Whoa! What do you guys think of that. Did Russell just make it easier to people to excuse breaking their vegan vow? Or is he just trying to let people know every little bit counts and you don’t have to be perfect to make a difference?
