Vegetarian Star

Eco stylist Danny Seo, who regularly shares his green tips on the The CBS Early Show and is a contributor to Better Homes and Gardens, has given some green gardening tips.

The entrepreneur who blogged about a good veggie chicken and kale salad, stating, “I may be a vegetarian, but I still like food that’s flavorful, indulgent and just outright yum,” says that when your sneakers are well ventilated, instead of throwing them in the trash, throw them in the garden.

Will this cause new, this season’s sneakers to sprout?

No, but according to Seo, it will keep the animals out.

When animals smell other animals’ scent, they know the territory it off limits.

Likewise, when they smell your sneakers, they’ll completely lose their appetites for your plants like your friends lose their appetite for pizza when you leave your shoes out and even consider urinating elsewhere.

Moby credits his mother for turning him on to veganism and animal rights, as he told Vegetarian Times she tried to “sneak tofu into my food and I would be outraged.”

Moby eventually learned to love the life his mother was trying to impress on him and as we approach Mother’s Day, model and eco friendly beauty products entrepreneur Josie Maran also thanks her mother for bringing her up environmentally friendly.

“My mom is my role model for being green,” Maran said, and revealed that earlier that afternoon she had shown her own daughter how to plant produce in the garden.

Do you have your mother to thank for being vegetarian and green?

Olivia Wilde has been working with organizations helping Haiti to recover from the devastating earthquake that struck earlier this year.

Wilde’s latest project is helping Haitian students learn to grow their own food, as she recently Tweeted about the anticipated experience.

“I cannot wait to get back to Port au Prince and start planting veggies with our students!”

In addition to her hands on efforts, the star is one of many who are auctioning off their Golden Globe outfits as a way to raise money to go towards relief efforts.

Christian Lander, founder and writer on the very popular and satirical Stuff White People Like blog, that launched millions of visits, thousands of discussions, a book deal and a dozen other “Stuff People Like” blogs, is the authority on what the subject of his humor–college educated, upper middle class, often liberal Caucasians–enjoys.

Lander jokingly told the Arkansas Times he predicts the next very environmentally friendly and sustainable trend among white people is gardening.

As a white person, he’s already tried it.

“Um, “growing your own food” is trending pretty hard. I spent $80 to grow two tomatoes last summer. They were terrible tomatoes, but I lied to myself and told myself they were delicious.”

Guess Lander didn’t bother consulting any Gardening Guides before planting those organic tomatoes.

Ironically, he says backlashes are another trend that might show up and vegetarians may feel the brunt of it.

“It was like the whole backlash against bacon after everyone wanted to go vegetarian, then people started getting annoyed with vegetarians so they went as far the other way as possible.”

Confusing, since #32 on the list of Stuff White People Like is Vegetarian/Veganism.

White, black, brown, purple and green people should get on this latest bandwagon and plant your own tomatoes, green beans, lettuce and everything else.

And if you haven’t already done #32 on the list, it’s time.

Gabby Reece was invited to help with The Teaching Garden by her friend and wife of Tobey Maguire, Jennifer Meyer.

The Teaching Garden teaches students to grow their own produce while emphasizing math and science skills.

The goal is to get 1,000 Teaching Garden programs in schools, but parents can start instructing at home, something Reece is already doing.

“My kids get to live in Hawaii and California,” Reece told Celebrity Baby Scoop.

“They play out in the dirt all the time. One of their favorite things to do each morning when we are in Hawaii is to pick fruit from the trees: lemons, avocados and papayas. My 2 year old likes lettuce and my 6 year old, well it’s a constant negotiation. Broccoli seems to be the winner so far.”

Of course, it’s great when the students can teach mom and dad a thing or two about planting, cultivating and harvesting in the home.

“Another important message is that the learning goes from the kids back to the parents. The children can teach their parents what they have learned about nutrition and fitness and hopefully have an impact.”

Michelle Obama‘s White House garden is expanding!

The garden will be enlarged from 1,100 to 1,500 square feet to accommodate four additional vegetables of bok choy, white cauliflower, artichokes and mustard greens.

Once again, Mrs. Obama invited local school children to help plant this year’s seeds.

According to Treehugger, last year the garden yielded 1,000 pounds of food that was eaten by White House Staff and at State dinners or donated to local homeless shelters.

Another accomplishment for the garden last year was employing the use of “hoop houses,” protective structures placed over the plants to protect them from the winter’s freeze, allowing 50 pounds of food to be harvested during the winter.

Michelle Obama‘s gardening adventures in the White House backyard started a trend of local eating, sustainable practices and a return to the basics of cooking among ladies worldwide.

Will Tobey Maguire be the one to lead the men to get their fingers dirty?

The vegetarian actor is helping launch The Teaching Garden, a initiative that, according to iVillage, will, “promote ecologically sound food and lifestyle choices.”

The organization was founded by Tobey’s wife’s stepmother and inspired by the First Lady’s move to reduce obesity in children.

Maguire, along with pro volleyball player Gabrielle Reece, L.A. Laker Derek Fisher and Iron Chef America’s Cat Cora will cook with elementary school children in California and plant a vegetable garden at a kickoff event next week.

Jennie Garth is hosting a regular segment on iVillage called Garden Party, where a different vegetable is featured every month.

Jennie hosted a lettuce party where she encouraged children to make artwork from salads and says the best way to get kids eating healthier is to get them involved with growing veggies in the garden.

Jennie recently featured lettuce and gave a few tips for growing it.

She says lettuce heads should be started indoors and then transferred to the garden at about 11 weeks.

“Leaf lettuce needs to be spaced at least 8 inches apart, but head lettuce needs at leasts a foot. So get a-head and start thinking about growing lettuce with your kids.”
