Vegetarian Star

Tyson Jerry and Cloe Walker. The duo made the Guinness Book of World Records for driving the most miles in a vegetable oil powered van.

Tyson Jerry and Cloe Whittaker are two twenty something Canadians that have just broke the Guinness Book of World Records in a very environmentally friendly way.

The pair are the only people to date to drive the most miles–23,697 miles–in a van powered by vegetable oil.

The journey started in mid November in British, S.C. and took them through 20 cities through North America.

Pre-arranged stops were made at restaurants to “fuel up” when needed.

The 1993 Delica Mitsubishi that carried them on their journey has been nicknamed appropriately “The Veggie Van.”

Ed Begley Jr. knows being vegetarian is a great complement to his other environmentally friendly behaviors like having solar panels in his home and getting from point A to B on a bicycle.

But is Ed driving an eco-friendly car with animal un-friendly seats?

From priuschat.com:

“Watching a recent episode of Living With Ed, it looks like Ed is now driving (or more likely Rachelle’s car) a level IV winter gray metallic 2010 Prius. I was a little surprised that he chose leather seats, being the vegan that he is.”

Granted, not everyone environmentalist is vegetarian, but with the environmentally unfriendly chemicals going into the tanning process to make leather not biodegradable, you’d think most hybrid worshippers would demand hideless vehicles.

Paul McCartney insisted his luxury Lexus be built with cloth seats versus leather.

Toyota 2010 Priuses come with either leather or  non-leather seating.

Which one is Ed cruising around town in?

No, Alcohol for Sustainable Living doesn’t mean ensuring the wine bar is stocked throughout your college days.

It’s the way of thinking that we can use ethanol for a variety of purposes-from powering cars to heating homes.

Veggie stars Daryl Hannah and Ed Begley Jr. were present at the recent Alcohol For Sustainable Living Press Conference in LA, where both talked about their views on using ethanol as fuel for vehicles.

“I’m a big fan of non-petroleum ways of moving ourselves around,” Hannah said, “including electric cars running on renewable energy and biofuels, which is why I was a cofounder of the Sustainable Biodiesel Alliance.”

Hannah showed off the 6.6-liter Trans-Am from Kill Bill, which she converted to alcohol with David Blume‘s, who wrote Alcohol can be a Gas, help.

According to Blume, driving your own drunken Kill Bill (but not driving drunk, as that’s irresponsible and dangerous) with E85 ethanol could eliminate the need for oil dependency in a few years.

A new film that tackles the issue of America’s dependency on foreign oil, Fuel, is screening in theatres across the country.

During the film, director Josh Tickell, rides across the nation in a vegetable oil powered van interviewing politicians, celebrity activists, and academics on a variety of alternative energy issues.

Know who else rides around in a veggie oil powered set of wheels?

Fred Mascherino, ex guitarist for Taking Back Sunday and creator of musical project, The Color Fred.

We bet Fred keeps his pants on while driving though.

Fred Mascherino, ex Taking Back Sunday guitarist and singer who went on to form the band The Color Fred, is so green he’s “phat” off oil!

Vegan Fred has a car that runs on vegetable oil he gets from a Chinese restaurant. Luckily, they don’t fry in lard, otherwise raising the animal who’s fat will eventually run the car kinda cancels out any eco-friendliness.

Using our own fat? Well, that might reduce at least somebody’s footprint-literally.

“Being vegan is about the best thing a person can do to be “green,” Fred said. “Using less, buying less and eating less is the idea but even just eating a little less meat makes a difference.”

The next obvious question is how Fred pays for his oil. It would be COOL to walk into China Express and say, “I’ll take what I ate this week in fuel.”

Some sources even recommend, “Develop a relationship with the manager or owner of local establishments. Tell him or her that you’re interested in collecting their waste vegetable oil. Offer to do it for free.”

We smell and taste an All You Can Eat Oil Club program forming at businesses soon.

Paul McCartney purchased a maroon Lexus LS600h that is deemed more environmentally friendly. It produces carbon emissions of 219g per kilometer while other cars of its size producing 249g per kilometer.

Sir Paul insisted that the car be made with no animal products, so the seats and interior are cloth versus traditional leather that comes in most luxury cars.
