Vegetarian Star

About a year ago, Friday Night Lights star Aimee Teegarden was making the transition to vegan.

Now that she’s trading her role as Julie Taylor on Friday Night Lights for a type A, perfectionist head of the prom committee gal on the new Disney series Prom, Teegarden is about to graduate to another level.

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.

Aimee Teegarden calls herself a vegetarian “heading towards vegan.”

Although Mother Nature Network didn’t give more details about Teegarden’s vegan journey (is there a set date, ingredients to eliminate at certain steps?), one could make the assumption that the Friday Night Lights actress is making small changes in her life so she can one day live comfortably and healthy as a vegan versus making drastic changes like focusing on eliminating products instead of adding new ones.

Or maybe she’s having second thoughts about what goes on in the dairy industry, but still hasn’t found the right cheese substitute to satisfy those insane moo cravings.

If you’re an “almost vegan,” what non-vegan products are you hoping to give up?
