The set of the hit show Grey’s Anatomy has banned plastic bottles. Something every production should be doing. It’s sets a good example and its something very simple we all can do to go green. Each cast member was issued a thermos. You would think they could buy one on their own, but they are so busy just like real hospital workers (yea right

The thermos says ‘Grey’s Anatomy Season 4′. I bet they can sell these too and make more money off the hit show too…

She says she is going to use eco friendly disposable and biodegradable diapers. I imagine she is talking about gDiapers. They are flushable and totally safe for the environment and come in many different colors…

Natalie Portman named best Vegetarian by VegNews 2007 Veggie Awards. Portman has been a vegetarian since a child - 17 years. She won’t even wear leather jackets!

Going vegetarian is not only cruelty free and more ethical, it helps with the environment as less energy and resources are consumed in production. Right now we have to grow food to feed all those animals we eat. This is wasteful and then we also add more greenhouse gases, more habitat is lost for farming, and there is soil erosion… At least cut down on the animal intake!

Alicia Silverstone’s Sexy Veggie PSA
Order a FREE vegetarian starter kit at GoVeg.com

Alicia Silverstone’s sexy new ad definitely attracts attention. PETA is definitely trying a different tact here. There is no way they would be able to show pain and suffering that animals have to go to come to our plates in a commercial. Just because cows and chickens aren’t as cute as our cats and dogs doesn’t mean they don’t suffer… Would you eat your dog as they do in China sometimes? Where do you draw the line?? Would you eat a monkey? How about flipper?

We know have the technology to have animal for every meal without an afterthought, but we also have the technology to be good vegetarians now. For a lot of people on this earth and through most of history we got by fine without meat for every meal…

You can just live on pasta and cheese pizza with mushrooms and spinach. Yum!!

Use cloth shopping bags, you don’t need all those ATM receipts, turn of the tap water while you brush, unplug devices when charged, use less paper napkins, rid yourself of junk mail, no more plastic utensils, user refill containers…
