Comments Off on Meatless Mouthful: Persia White Thanksgiving Meaning
“Thanksgiving is a time to reflect and express our gratitude for all that we have to be thankful for. In the true spirit of this holiday, take a moment to think about the importance of all life. By choosing a vegetarian diet, every one of us can take part in ending the cruelty animals endure on factory farms. Like cats and dogs, turkeys are intelligent, social, and sensitive beings who want to live. Give thanks this holiday and save a life.”
Although Halloween isn’t even here yet, Unturkey day will come before you realize it. Start planning your birdless day now for a happy and cruelty-free celebration.
Eco designer Linda Loudermilk has previewed some of her Spring 2010 collection, which features vegan silk-harvested without killing the silkworm.
In addition, treehugger.com is reporting on how other eco friendly fabrics are used:
“The collection does have its share of organic cotton (with no pesticides or heavy mineral dyes, of course) – but she also uses vegan silk for vests; silk charmeuse, lyocell, and a seaweed-based fabric for tops and tunics; bamboo for cuffs, pants and shorts; human hair and hemp in spats; organic wool in jackets; and reclaimed French lace in dresses.”

Motto: “Nourish the inner aspect”
Mood: Spare and elegant, bordering on insufferable
Worth a damn?: Sure as Margo Tenenbaum smokes
“Much has been made of this vanity website, in which Paltrow introduces marvelous, wonderful things into the lives of mere mortals. How you feel about it depends largely on how you feel about her, but we give props for the fact that it weaves in sustainability—almost naturally. Vegan recipes and recyclable socks nestle alongside accounts of taking weekend jaunts to London and getting fashion advice from Vanity Fair—you know, the stuff we all do when no one’s looking.”
Gwyneth’s a hit and miss for vegetarian discussion on Goop, but when she hits the target…ooh la la, Vegeanise vegan mayo, seitan…need we say more?
“Mallika Sherawat is by far the baddest of all of the Bollywood women. She’s also hailed at Bollywood’s twitter queen. In an exclusive interview w/ the Examiner she reveals a few makeup and diet tips & more saying “I go all organic vegetarian, lot of fruits and water! I workout daily, the usual “star” stuff:) I get plenty of sleep, I think that helps, too. And I never go outside without my parasol to lessen the sun rays to the skin. Yes, my friends make fun of me but I know it works, and what works on camera works for me:)”
Mallika even goes so far as to shun dairy, getting her calcium from almond, cashew and soy milk.
“I have been strictly vegetarian ever since I can remember,” she said. “I am against the concept of killing an animal to eat it.”
Comments Off on Sarah Jane Morris “Brothers And Sisters” Meat Free Monday Fail
Brothers and Sisters star Sarah Jane Morris tries to live a green life, but admits there’s one eco sin she can’t stop committing.
“My biggest eco-sin is probably the fact that I’m not a vegetarian,” Morris said, according to celebrity-babies.com.
“We do try to have “Meatless Monday” where my husband and I eat vegetarian all day, but since I’ve been pregnant, I’m ashamed to say, that rule has sort of gone out the window!”
“I know that raising livestock is one of the worst things for our environment, but I think the problem isn’t that we eat meat, it’s that we eat so much.”
“A steak used to be considered a luxury, something you had for special occasions, now, in America especially, you can get meat for so cheap that people almost expect it at every meal.”
“We don’t need to eat that much meat, and in fact we’d all be healthier if we didn’t.”
“That being said, I love bacon and filets, and all that good stuff, I just try to think of it as a luxury more than a necessity.”
At least Sarah’s honest, not pretending that all the Priuses she could own and recycling in the world isn’t nearly as beneficial on the earth compared to switching to a plant based diet.

Comments Off on Lindsay Lohan “Ungaro” Fashion Fur Pas
A Tweet from Lindsay Lohan gave a glimmer of hope the actress might be going cruelty-free in her designs for French fashion house Ungaro, where she is the artistic advisor.
“Fyi my furs are fake! Seriously!”
However, a call to her rep from PETA revealed the stoles you see from Lindsay are indeed real fur.
Real fur in 2009?
Guess the reviews of her fashions, describing them as “cheesy and dated” and “old-fashioned and ill-judged fur stoles,” were right on target.
To avoid making a cruel and bad fashion statement like Lindsay, fake your furs from fabulousfurs.com.
Despite his hectic schedule preaching the green news, Green Daily was able to catch up with Ed to chat about his latest adventures in going green and how you can go green on a budget.
GD: Since the economy blew an O-ring last fall, have you noticed a significant change in the green movement?
EB: It’s a challenge, but it creates opportunity to do the cheap and easy stuff first. Pick the low hanging fruit. Like what I did in 1970s: weather stripping, home gardening, lighting, taking public transportation, riding a bike when weather permits. It took me 15 years before I could afford any of the expensive upgrades like solar panels.
GD: Can you give GD readers your top three effective yet inexpensive ways to go green at home?
EB: Sure! Check all weather stripping around doors and windows, upgrade to energy-efficient lighting, and installing an energy efficient thermostat. That’s all very inexpensive and effective.
Another feel-good thing that’s cheap and practical is a home energy audit. In many parts of the country it’s free. It gives you a heirarchy so you can prioritize what makes sense to do next. Also, you can get $1,500 assistance from the Obama administration for home energy efficiency tax credits.
