Quantcast Vegetarian StarMissy Higgins (3)

Live Earth Media Conference

Vegan singer and musician Missy Higgins wants to treat her environmentally aware fans by rewarding them with a special unreleased version of her song, “Where I stood” from the album On a Clear Night.

If you pledge to reduce your carbon footprint by 2% in 2009, you can download the unreleased song for free.

Not to leave folks in a boat without a paddle, Missy has included 10 Ways To Decrease Your Carbon Output on her Warner Brothers Website, like buying local and organic, replacing incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs, and walking more just to name a few.

Kinda disappointing that Missy left off one of the biggest ways to have smaller carbon feet-by going vegetarian!

The idea of the pledge is taken from the Sierra Club’s 2% Solution, which theorizes that if we reduce our carbon emissions by 2% every year, by 2050, we can curb global warming and its consequences.

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.

Frank Iero isn’t the only vegan musician who can strut around in his vegan MacBeth shoes.

When vegans breakup, they can still enjoy a meal together peacefully.

Singer Missy Higgins once dated fellow Australian Johnny MacKay, member of the band Children Collide. They broke up, moved on, and went their separate ways.

Both vegan food lovin’ individuals, they happened to run into each other in the vegan food mecca of L.A. Amazingly, there was no fighting, bickering, dirty looks, and both parties got along just dandy.

They also enjoyed a nice dinner and saw a concert afterwards. MacKay told News.com:

“She’s cool. We’re cool… it was a long time ago now.”

Australian vegan cutie Missy Higgins won the hearts of many in her home country; now she’s trekking across the U.S. winning American love as well. But just because she’s been living in the raw food hub of L.A. and becoming more Californian every day, she’ll waste no time reminding you she still remembers how they do it down under.

When asked by Blog Critics if she preferred a Vegemite sandwich or shrimp on a barbie, she responded, “Vegemite sandwich because I’m vegan and because we don’t call them shrimps, anyway, we call them prawns!”

Go Missy! Tell it like it really is! Also, thanks for telling them what’s the better option over both prawns and shrimp Barbie dolls or whatever.

Fun fact: Missy was the first girl to join the football team at her primary school. How cool is that?

Go here to read more, including how Missy thinks “koalas seem to have it pretty good…getting stoned on Eucalyptus leaves…”

Missy Higgins Likes Real Food Daily

Missy Higgins is an Australian born singer and songwriter who’s been inching her way into America’s CD players with her album The Sound of White and more recently, On A Clear Night.

She is a vegan, who agreed to cuddle with a pig because she loves animals so much. The last time we remember a singer holding a pig for the camera it was Tori Amos nursing one and…well, never mind.

Anyway, living in Los Angeles is great for Missy because she has the world of vegan food eateries in her backyard, include Real Food Daily. We checked out the menu: Better With Cheddar Nachos-melted cashew cheddar cheese with tofu sour cream, Tempeh Reuben, and Salisbury Seitan to name a few items.

It’s safe to say that this woman’s got both a great voice and great taste.
