Vegetarian Star

Stella McCartney Kids Leo Sweatshirt

Stella McCartney has launched her first kids collection and is allowing child fashionistas with a techy side to enjoy the fashions via an iphone application, available from itunes for free. A percentage of sales from the Leo sweatshirt, shown above, will benefit the McCartney family Meat-Free Monday campaign, aimed to encourage people to eat vegetarian one day a week to reduce the impact of meat consumption on the environment.

The Collection: Keeping in Stella’s green ethics, the clothing line for boys and girls, aged newborn to 12 years, features modern styles crafted from organic cotton and absolutely no fur. According to ChildMode, every piece of clothing has been given a different child’s name, such as the Lara, an organic baseball shirt with stripes and floral prints.

“I wanted this first collection to include basic pieces that are comfortable and that address a child’s needs, without sacrificing the fun and carefree elements,” Stella said.

Daniella Monet PETA

Daniella Monet recalls the day she had to dissect an animal in class.

“The one memory I have, as far as dissecting goes, is in elementary school. I cried—a lot—and I was actually sent to the nurse’s office, and I used the phone to call my mom and say that I couldn’t do it.”

“It’s gross. It’s sad. I do think teachers should provide an alternative…And if kids stand up for themselves … it’ll definitely make a world’s difference.”

Hoping other adolescents won’t go through the same experience, Monet is posing in this PETA ad titled, “I Choose Not To Dissect.”

If you’re looking for an alternative to dissect for yourself, your child or students, you should know…there’s an app for that!

The Frog Dissection application by Emantras Inc. gives the educational experience of science class minus the guts and flesh of a real animal and having to fight with your ethics or the school board on making the decision to dissect.

Joanne Colan is a correspondent for Dean of Invention, a Planet Green series that follows Dean Kamen, who generated ideas such as Segway, the insulin pump and the robotic prosthetic called the “Luke Arm” as he unveils the latest discoveries and advancements in technologies.

Colan herself takes advantage of the advancements in the availability of nutritious, vegetarian food as she travels frequently and must make use of what’s available on the road. Although she doesn’t consume meat or dairy, Colan doesn’t consider herself a true vegan, as she consumes honey.

From an exclusive interview with This Dish Is Vegetarian:

“Because her mother kept bees, my Mum (who lives in sw France) also kept bees for a little while. They were all “rescue bees” encouraged to relocate to a hive from someone’s windowsill or chimney and avoid extermination. Anyway that’s another story altogether. To harvest the honey, my mum would spin the frames in an extractor. I learned this apparently doesn’t filter the honey much.”

Like other successful tech companies, Facebook provides its employees with deliciously good food perks. Josef Desimone, a former chef at Google, leads the food operations and says because he makes people so happy at work, he’s like “Santa Claus with knives.”

That sounds creepy, but after learning about the vegetarian, vegan and sustainable choices Mark Zuckerberg‘s subordinates get for free (yes, that’s three meals a day), we’ve come to the conclusion that knife-wielding Santa gives good little vegs all they ask for year round.

Employees may start the day with vegan breakfast waffles.

There’s nothing more adorable than pig that’s so smart it ranks up there with a toddler in intelligence. That’s why the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has a Facebook application that aims to increase awareness about the creatures.

After doing well and earning titles like “Weaner” “Porker” and “Whole Hog,” players can advance to the section that allows them to answer pig trivia.

Steve Jobs will have his own private, vegetable garden at his new pad, reports Cult of Mac, which also has a layout of the 5,000 square feet design on its website.

Gizmodo gave the intricate details:

“According to these initial designs, Jobs intends to populate the 6 acres with an assortment of indigenous flora; a simple three-car garage; a modest 5 bedroom home with plenty of windows and decks; a network of lighted stone walkways; and even a private vegetable garden. Everything is neat, tight, pragmatic, and in its place.”

This leaves more questions to be answered, of course. What vegetables will be included? Will the garden be organic? Does Jobs have a staff to tend to the veggies or does he have a natural green thumb himself?

It may awhile before the public learns these answers, but there is information available on why people garden in the first place, according to a survey by the National Gardening Association called “Impact of Home and Community Gardening in America.”

Paul Vasquez, otherwise known as the “Double Rainbow” guy in the Microsoft Windows Live Photo Gallery commercial told Fast Company he’s currently working with an agent to star in a TV film pilot about his life living in the wilderness.

Vasquez, who further complicates the aliases after saying he likes to be called “bear,” said the pilot will highlight his life in martial arts, vegan eating, losing weight, building his home using alternative materials, using alternative energy, and organic farming.

Interestingly, Vasquez says he’s been living on about $5,000 a year for the past few years. He hasn’t made big bucks off the Live Photo Gallery commercial yet. Guess  you can say he’s still waiting for the pot of gold at the end of the double rainbow. If he’s eaten vegan during all these years, it would be great to have him demonstrate cheap, natural animal-free eating on the pilot as more questions burn the mind on how he survives.

Does he grow his own? Follow the guide for How To Eat Vegan On The Cheap Religiously?
