Quantcast Vegetarian StarEnvironment-Eco-Green (3)

The Wildlife Conservation Society's

To remake an ACDC song: “He’s got green balls. And she’s got green balls. But Al Gore’s got the greenest balls of them all.”

The Inconvenient Truth presenter will host a green inaugural ball tomorrow with locally grown food that includes vegetarian and vegan options cooked by chefs located right across the street (to reduce carbon emissions from vehicle traveling with the food).

Maroon 5, who enjoyed raw vegan chef Ani Phyo’s catering for their vegan Halloween party, will be providing the musical entertainment, along with Will.i.am.

Guests will walk on carpet made from recycled fibers, waste will be recycled and composted, and contributions will be made to Native American family farmers partaking in energy-conservation projects to offset carbon emissions.

Groups that are on the invite list include Sierra Club, Natural Resources Defense Council, Earthjustice, Vote Solar Initiative and Youth for Environmental Sanity.

Some balls are held for charity. Some for fancy dress. But the balls held for the environment are the balls that we like best.

The Sierra Club has put together a video of various eco-aware celebrities thanking very, very soon to be President Obama for his work and to remind him of what more needs to be accomplished, like clean energy, green jobs and green transportation.

The beautiful voice of vegan Missy Higgins can be heard in the background singing her hit tune, Steer, so appropriate given he will be the main man behind the wheel of the U.S. for the next four years.

Missy personally reminds Obama to build a greener economy and speaks for everyone when she adds she wants to help him “stabilize the climate and to protect the people and the natural wonders we all love.”

Watch for Missy’s appearances as well as cameos by Pierce Brosnan, Jillian Michaels,  Jason Silva, and Gossip Girl Tamara Feldman to name a few.

“The destruction to the environment by using large areas of land to feed cattle or pigs is actually taking up an awful lot of land that could be used to produce far more protein, if it was vegetable protein. Making animal protein is wasteful.”

Leilani Munter Assembling Her Eco-Dream Team For 2009

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, December 29th, 2008 in Athletes-Games-Sports, Environment-Eco-Green.

Global Green USAs 6th Annual Pre-Oscar Party - Red Carpet

When vegetarian professional race car driver and environmentalist Leilani Munter first started talking about environmental issues on her racing website, she got mixed reactions.

Some were excited to embrace the discussion of being eco-friendly. Others said she was “brainwashed by Al Gore,” because she promoted An Inconvenient Truth.

But the important thing was at least they were talking about it, something that wasn’t happening before.

Like it or not, race car driving is one of the biggest spectator sports in the country and to leave millions of fans in the dark about what’s going on with the earth would just be plain irresponsible.

She recently appeared on NPR, discussing her 2009 plans to put together an Eco-Dream Team where the race cars will show a public service message to race fans, promoting greener actions, such as using energy saving light bulbs. She also wants to set up eco-education centers at the racetracks.

Listen to Leilani’s interview on NPR.

“I get really excited about the fact that I can eat an artichoke, place all the leaves into my little bucket, put it into the ground and then it turns into rich soil which then grows my food. I know that might sound weird, but the cycle of life really amazes me.”
—-vegan actress Alicia Silverstone on some of the green things she does around her home, including having a compost bucket in her backyard. The biggest “green” act of all is being vegan of course. If you haven’t watched the video on Meat The Truth, discussing all the nifty facts on how vegetarianism and veganism helps prevent global climate change, you’re missing out.

Pamela Anderson Helped Others Meat The Truth

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, December 26th, 2008 in Actresses, Environment-Eco-Green, Videos.

Pamela Anderson Press Conference

Pamela Anderson was presented with a copy of Meat the Truth, a documentary on the effects of the meat industry and the environment she participating in making, at the RAI Congress Centre in Amsterdam earlier this month.

If you remember us telling you, Anderson wrote a letter giving sex tips to Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands before leaving for the trip.

When Al Gore presented An Inconvenient Truth, some say he forgot to highlight an important component for saving the world from global climate change: vegetarianism.

Meat the Truth, by Karen Soeters (Director, Nicolaas G. Pierson Foundation) is the documentary that picks up where An Inconvenient Truth left off. According to the creators of Meat the Truth, the livestock industry is responsible for 18% of all greenhouse gas emissions and that’s 40% more than the emissions created by all the cars, trucks, trains, boats and planes added together.

Here’s a fun fact for you frequent fliers: If all Americans would not eat meat for one day a week, it would save 90 million plane tickets from New York to Los Angeles in terms of carbon emissions.

The video below contains more facts as well as a statement made by comedian Bill Maher. Several other celebrities helped make, Meat the Truth, including Maher, James Cromwell, Emily Deschanel, and Hal Sparks.

When a celebrity associates themselves with a cruelty-free product you can’t help but get excited, even if the star isn’t vegetarian.

Lush is a collection of handmade cosmetics that are never tested on animals, vegetarian, and some are even vegan. The UK company’s products have been used by stars such as Halle Berry, Jessica Biel, and Jude Law.

Yes, Jude Law. Cosmetics just aren’t for the gals, you know. Lush has shaving cream, plus all sorts of moisturizers an eco-friendly man needs. Because even though nicking yourself with a razor may hurt, the pain an animal feels in a cosmetic laboratory is far worse.

Lush cosmetics make a great stocking stuffer for holidays gifts this year. Be sure to send this link to friends and family so they’ll know exactly what you’re looking for.
