Jessica Simpson Gets He...
Ahhh! Now it makes sense. We think we finally understand why Jessica Simpson has been down with the vegan stuff lately. Rumor on the street is that Jessica has gone vegan (or is dabbling, at least) thanks to her new boyfriend New Orleans Saints’ tight end Eric Johnson . Times of the Internet is reporting that In Touch magazine broke the story — although we can’t find the original source. Apparently, Jessica’s gone so far as to even hire a chef to teach her how to...
Dr. Oz Wants You To Los...
“America’s Doctor” – Dr. Oz, that is – is on a special mission to get overweight Americans to lose 10 pounds, with his recently launched Just 10 campaign. Though many of the obese Americans Dr. Oz would like to transform have a lot more than 10 pounds to worry about, his hope is that getting people to make just a few small changes will instill habits that lead to bigger change. As part of his mission, he’s talking a lot about his own nutrition and fitness...
Prince Charles’ Susta...
The sustainable living battle cry is so much a part of Prince Charles ’ spirit that he’s embarked on a five day tour of his homeland (including visits to Glasgow, Edinburgh, Carmarthen, Bristol, Todmorden, Nottingham, Manchester and Birmingham) via a cooking fat-fueled train in order to meet-greet his fellow countrymen and spread the good green word. Unfortunately, there is some controversy swirling around his journey since it’s costing taxpayers £50,000 (=$44,599 USD ) to...
Top 5 VEG Chefs Food Ne...
Last week we wrote an open letter to the Food Network asking, begging, pleading for a vegetarian/vegan cooking show. In the letter, we pointed out that in almost 150 television shows listed as airing on “The Food Network” and its new sister “The Cooking Channel”, not one is dedicated exclusively to the vegan and/or vegetarian lifestyle. Not cool! But then we figured it out! There’s no veggie cooking show because the network of traditional foodies doesn’t know who...
‘Earth Destroyers’ ...
Rocking loud and hard is often what they do best, but as eco-awareness continues to permeate our consciousness, we’re also expecting our favorite musical acts to consider how their touring efforts affect our planet as well. There are a few notable standouts such as Sheryl Crow and her hefty environmental rider , Ben Sollee ‘s two-wheeled, pedal-to-the-metal tour and Jack Johnson ’s eco-tour (100% of the profits which benefit charity), but what are the thousands of other...

From September 20-25, I’ll be putting one of the most interesting bamboo bikes on the market (as well as my body) to the test as one of 150 participating in climate awareness bike trip Brita Climate Ride .
