Vegetarian Star

Sara Gilbert, actress and vegan now known for her role as one of the hosts on The Talk, has published a book on living eco-friendly.

The Imperfect Environmentalist is Gilbert’s guide to anyone interested in making simple changes in their life to help the environment.

The mother gives examples of how to live cleaner in many area of living, including the cosmetic cabinet, cleaning, fitness, gardening and recycling.

It’s much easier to motivate people to save the Earth if they aren’t being lectured too hard or are at least having fun with it.

Gilbert used these principles when writing the different sections of The Imperfect Environmentalist, making it a priority to humor her readers as much as she educates them.

“I started a tree-planting project in hopes of not only offsetting the carbon footprint but also cooling the planet and helping various communities. I also planted peaches to empower humans to care for the planet.”

“I’m taking further steps to reduce energy consumption in my home, and am speaking out more often about reducing, reusing, recycling, reburbishing, reapplying, repairing — doing everything we can to live in delicate balance.”

Sure, actors and actresses in tinseltown may promote bike riding, using tap water and recycling, but how does the manner in which they earn their paycheck to buy those organic cotton shirts stack up when it comes to being environmentally friendly?

Greenlit is a new documentary which follows Indie filmmaker Miranda Bailey (executive producer of The Squid and the Whale) during the production of The River Why, starring Zach Gilford (Friday Night Lights) as the film crew attempts to keep its footprint low with the help of an environment consultant  for the entertainment industry who’s been featured in popular media outlets like The Hollywood Reporter.

During the film’s opening, Bailey says that although she’s eaten her share of tofu, she doesn’t think that being eco-friendly is a priority in the film business. Data examining the film industry’s energy use supports that.

Mary Nichols, from the California Resources Board, states during Greenlit that the film and television industry is a “major consumer of all kinds of energy and fuels and they still put out a lot of waste–and not just in the form of maybe movies we don’t like.”

The report from the Resources Board concluded that Hollywood trailed closely behind the petroleum industry as being one of southern California’s top air polluters.

Watch Greenlit in its entirety above.

“The race fans forgive me for being an environmentalist because I have a race car. That’s why they’re listening to me; I have a race car underneath me. If I was just a biology graduate, trying to ask them to do these things, I don’t think any of them would hear me.”

—Leilani Munter, to the Department of Energy, on how she is able to connect with NASCAR fans on environmental issues and not turn them off by stereotypes of environmentalists and vegetarians.

In the ARCA race on September 30th, Munter will drive a car sponsored by Operation Free, a group of military veterans who advocate energy independence and action on climate change.
