Vegetarian Star

Julia Louis-Dreyfus is doing everything she can to green the set of The New Adventures of Old Christine.

“Every light bulb is a compact fluorescent,” Julia told Mother Nature Network. “We have a big recycling program. We tried to get rid of water bottles last year and failed at it. It’s a tricky thing to do with a crew, but we’re going to try it again this year.”

Julia is an environmentalist who is active with the NRDC and the Environmental Media Association, and serves on the boards of Heal the Bay and Heal the Ocean.

But Julia hasn’t made one important move to protect the environment-she hasn’t yet gone vegetarian.

“I love vegetables— I should be a vegetarian, and I feel guilty saying I’m not,” Julia told Shape. “But I like meat and chicken.”

We’ve already give Julia the how to eat like a carnivore by shopping in the faux meat section lecture, so we’ll just suggest one final thing: Why not make the set of Old Christine greener by implementing a meat-free day of the week?

Stella McCartney was honored by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) recently at its Forces For Nature gala.

The environmental group honored both the vegetarian fashion designer who refuses to use leather in her products, as well as Discovery Channel chief David Zaslav.

Attendees at the event were entertained by comedians and dined on a vegetarian meal.

Stella’s proud papa, Paul McCartney was there with girlfriend Nancy Shevell.

“A love of nature has been instilled in [Stella] as she grew up,” Paul said. “But I don’t want to take any credit. She’s a smart girl. When she came in to the fashion industry, she came in to Gucci, which is leather city. I was really wondering how long it would be before she’d have to cave in to the economic pressures, but she just hung in there.”

Other celebrity attendees included Tom and Kathy Freston, Barry Diller, Diane von Furstenberg, Graydon and Anna Carter, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Ron Perelman, Zhang Ziyi and host Alec Baldwin.

Stella’s fashion line is quite successful, and the fact that more environmentally friendly attire is making its way into women’s closets is a bonus. And that’s just how Stella prefers it.

“I don’t want people to buy my stuff because they know it’s not leather,” she said with a smile. “I just want them to want the boots.”
