“It’s kind of shocking to think that the FDA would allow over 1,500 cancer-causing carcinogens in our beauty and body care products. So I stay with a ‘keep it simple’ rule of thumb. I use a pure cacao (raw chocolate) oil on my body and hair, and [a] olive-oil-based salve on my face. Vegan biodegradable soap by Dr. Bronner.”

–Darryl Hannah,on putting products that are just as healthy on her body and she puts in. The Environmental Working Group’s Cosmetics Database allows you to search for products by brand or type and take a closer look at the ingredients. Warnings on some potentially problematic ingredients (like irritants, carcinogens) are given, as well as background information and scientific literature supporting the risks.

Daryl Hannah says she likes traveling with French Fries To Go director Harris Chard.

“I travel with him because he enjoys other cultures and people. He is fascinated about learning, well – everything!”

French Fries To Go is an award winning documentary that follows the journey to convert the first city bus in the nation to 100% biodiesel from used vegetable oil. If you’re interested in driving a vehicle fueled by veggie oil that doesn’t require a chauffeur’s license, there are numerous vegetable oil conversion kits that are reviewed here, which can either be installed yourself or by a mechanic.

You may also have questions about what your investment in converting such a vehicle will do.

Frybrid, one of the manufacturers of such a kit, has provided a Q & A section on their website to answer your burning questions such as “Will this void my warranty?” to “Which vehicles are the best candidates for vegetable oil conversion?

The Environmental Media Association and Yes To Carrots teamed up to launch “The Garden Challenge” that encourages students to get acquainted with growing their own produce in a contest where schools competed for a gardening grant.

Students uploaded videos explaining why a garden would be a great addition to their schools.

Daryl Hannah, Wendie Malick, and Rosario Dawson all have words to say in the video at CBS as they’re outside among students and cabbage.

Hannah thinks a school garden will make students less fearful of vegetables.

“I become a vegetarian when I was 11, but I was always afraid of vegetables,” Hannah said. “It wasn’t until I actually started growing them that I was not afraid to eat them.”

A video of the event can be viewed at CBS.
