Comments Off on Olivia Wilde Teaching Haitian Students To Grow Vegetables
Olivia Wilde has been working with organizations helping Haiti to recover from the devastating earthquake that struck earlier this year.
Wilde’s latest project is helping Haitian students learn to grow their own food, as she recently Tweeted about the anticipated experience.
“I cannot wait to get back to Port au Prince and start planting veggies with our students!”
In addition to her hands on efforts, the star is one of many who are auctioning off their Golden Globe outfits as a way to raise money to go towards relief efforts.
Although Natalie’s eco and animal friendly shoe line, Te Casan, was a failure, her successes in activism both through living and campaigning make her one of the best choices.
After being vegetarian for years, she finally made the switch to vegan after reading Jonathan Safran Foer‘s book, Eating Animals.
Her work in Rowanda highlighting the lives of gorillas only further strengthens her resume as a advocate of animals.
Not only does Natalie care about her own source of food, but she has brought the issue of childhood nutrition to the spotlight as well.
As if her diet weren’t eco friendly enough, Natalie is making the resolution to travel carbon neutral.
According to nstperfume, Stella Sheer is a limited edition, lighter version of a perfume launched in 2003.
Not only does the name sound pretty, but you can rest assure vegetarian Stella would never put any animal ingredients into her scents, like that musk scent extracted from deer or civets.
Thank goodness it doesn’t smell like a wild animal either, as Sugarscape reports the scent to be mixture of “organic rose with sparkling fruit, delicate floral and soothing amber.”

Comments Off on Jackson Browne Looking For Sustainable Seafood (Video)
Jackson Browne knows he should become vegetarian, but it’s the little things like Iberian ham that would make him give into temptation.
The one area of his animal eating life he’s looking to improve is seafood and it’s his mission to eat sea life that’s not endangered.
“I think I’m going to have to make it my business to find out which seafood is sustainable and which isn’t,” he says in the video from the Huffington Post.
If you’re a pescatarian, the Environmental Defense Fund has a handy chart listing seafood by Eco-Best, Eco-Ok and Eco-Worse based on what’s best for the health of the ocean and humans.
True Blood‘s Kristin Bauer has recorded a public service announcement for the International Fund for Animal Welfare’s campaign Tails for Whales.
The campaign was designed to show governments around the world how many people support protecting dolphins in Japan.
One way concerned activists can do this is by taking a photograph of themselves making a dolphin “tail” with their hands (for better pictorial explanation, visit the website), and uploading it to the Tailsforwhales.org site.
Besides being counted as an activist, you can also add your picture to your blog or personal web page or any other media source that gets people to take a second look and asks, “What’s this about?”
