Vegetarian Star

Natalie Portman was once an eco-conscious teen doing a better dance than that Miley/Hannah character could ever pull off.

Attendees at the Environmental Media Awards were presented with a video of a very young Portman as a background diva singing along to “Recycle it, Renew it, Redo it, Reuse it, Yea yea yea!”

Seems the vegan who transitioned from vegetarian because of Jonathan Safran Foer‘s book, Eating Animals, was destined to be an advocate of the green life.

The actress was reported to have both “grinned” and “cringed” at having old memories brought up that aren’t nearly as bad as the old birthday party clips your mother has lying around.

Organic food was served and compostable dinnerware was use at the ceremony meant to highlight people and productions drawing attention to environmental causes.

The Washington State Department of Ecology has a brief, easy read of recycling facts for kids after the video above gets their attention. No doubt, many adults could stand to read up on some of these facts too, especially considering they are the bottle water bandits of present time.

On Saturday, March 28th at 8:30 PM, Earth Hour will take place. 

People all around the world will turn off their lights for an hour, taking a stand for reducing carbon emissions.

If you plan to turn your lights out, why not invite Radiohead’s vegan Thom Yorke to spend time in the dark with you? Musically, that is. Don’t know what you were thinking.

GreenLivingOnline.com has compiled a list of top earth friendly musicians you can put on your playlist for the evening, including Radiohead.

“Not that we need more reasons to love Thom Yorke and Radiohead, but the U.K. band is also striving to reduce carbon emissions. When touring overseas, band members transport their gear via sea and avoid chartered flights. Recently, they stayed home and telecommuted to Late Night with Conan O’Brian rather than flying. Yorke is also a long-time vegan and his solo album, The Eraser, speaks directly to climate crisis issues. radiohead.com “

We’re sure Fake Plastic Trees degrade much faster than real plastic ones. Go Radiohead!

Other green musicians on the list include pescetarian KT Tunstall, who hangs out in her green designed home when she’s not on the road, and the Beastie Boys, who use biofuel on tour and participate in cell phone recycling programs.
