Bowersox’s dress was a hemp and cotton blend designed by Vermont designer Tara Lynn and featured macrame, seashell and bead detailing. Lynn’s studios are powered by solar energy. Lynn’s custom hemp wedding gowns start at around $1,500, and a collection of pre-determined designs ranging in size 2-14 are a more cost effective $600.
The reception was catered by a very vegan friendly bakery in Chicago, Bleeding Heart Bakery.

Nicole Lapin
Nicole Lapin is a Global Smile Ambassador for Operation Smile, the same charity that offers surgery for oral deformities to children in need that recently awarded model Christie Brinkley for her service. This Harvard educated news anchor puts a smile on her face when she frequents her favorite New York city hot spots that cater to her vegetarian lifestyle. She explained she’s likely to find something pleasurable, even in the odd hours.
“There is always passion, energy, and life in the city, even at 2 a.m. when I head to work,” Lapin said.
At Haute Living, Lapin shared the restaurants, markets and eco-friendly businesses filled with passion, energy and life.
Vegan ice cream restaurants, vegan restaurants, vegetarian sushi eateries and a certain farmers market make her list, as well as environmentally friendly ways to travel, like the ZipCar.
Spaghetti Tacos are all the rage, thanks to the Nickelodeon on Sunset television series iCarly, which features adolescent Carly Shay, played by Miranda Cosgrove, who creates her own web shows with her two best friends Sam and Freddie.
Sam (Samantha) is known for her gluttonous desire for meat, which is probably why the original recipe for Spaghetti Tacos listed on the iCarly website calls for meat sauce. And burping.
Get taco shells.
Get spaghetti (with meat sauce).
Get a BIG spoon.
Use the BIG spoon to put spaghetti into taco shells.
Eat.
Burp.

Stephen Colbert has never failed to come to the humor rescue, making light of green and environmental topics that are absurd, news-breaking, or, in the case of discontinuing the 100% biodegradable Sun Chips bags because opening them made too much noise, insane.
Soon, things will get quieter again. And we’ll be able to hear some of the sounds that are becoming an unfortunate part of nature.
“Luckily we can save the planet from unpleasant sound by using new quiet coal technologies and breakthroughs in silent oil,” Colbert says. “And if we just do that much, eventually the ice caps will melt, the seas will rise, and our coastal cities will be underwater, where it’s nice and quiet.”
