To remake an ACDC song: “He’s got green balls. And she’s got green balls. But Al Gore’s got the greenest balls of them all.”

The Inconvenient Truth presenter will host a green inaugural ball tomorrow with locally grown food that includes vegetarian and vegan options cooked by chefs located right across the street (to reduce carbon emissions from vehicle traveling with the food).

Maroon 5, who enjoyed raw vegan chef Ani Phyo’s catering for their vegan Halloween party, will be providing the musical entertainment, along with Will.i.am.

Guests will walk on carpet made from recycled fibers, waste will be recycled and composted, and contributions will be made to Native American family farmers partaking in energy-conservation projects to offset carbon emissions.

Groups that are on the invite list include Sierra Club, Natural Resources Defense Council, Earthjustice, Vote Solar Initiative and Youth for Environmental Sanity.

Some balls are held for charity. Some for fancy dress. But the balls held for the environment are the balls that we like best.

Amitabh Bachchan Urged To Remove Meat From Live Earth Menu

An Evening With Amitabh Bachchan

Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan has been urged to only serve vegetarian food at India’s Live Earth festival on December 7th, 2008. Bachchan is the spokeman for this year’s event.

Live Earth is an annual event which features live performing artists and talks given by famous environmentally conscious people (Al Gore is in this year’s lineup) to raise awareness about environmental issues. Peta’s letter to Bachchan equates serving meat at a festival about improving eco-friendly relations to giving out cigarettes at an anti-cancer event. Ouch! Point taken.

“On behalf of PETA, India and all our members and supporters, we respectfully ask you to kindly ensure that no meat is served at the event by urging the event’s organisers to honour the spirit and goal of Live Earth by serving only vegetarian food, ” said Peta’s Chief Functionary, Anuradha Sawhney, in a letter to Bachchan.

“By doing so, you will send a strong message, that people can save the planet simply by changing their dietary habits. After all, selling meat at a concert to benefit the environment would be like selling cigarettes at a cancer charity fund-raiser.”

“We also hope that you will take the opportunity to talk about the benefits of a vegetarian diet during the event, thereby educating millions of people watching worldwide. The animals and the environment would thank you – if they could – for taking such a noble step on their behalf.”

Some celebrities expected to perform include Will.I.Am, Anoushka Shankar, and Bon Jovi.
