Earlier this year powerhouse NHL star Georges Laraque went vegetarian after watching one of our favorite documentaries, Earthlings. In May, Georges said: “I’m also proud to announce that I have officially become a vegetarian and will slowly work towards becoming totally vegan.” Since June 1st of this year, Georges has been sans meat, dairy, eggs, leather and all other animal products. He claims the decision was made primarily for political rather than nutritional reasons and says that, “It’s important to break the stereotype that all vegans are skinny people with long hair.” Standing six-foot three and weighing 245 lbs, Georges is definitely redefining the stereotypical...

Back when the site first started we posted an article on Nike’s Reuse A Shoe program. Just to re-cap: Reuse-A-Shoe collects worn-out athletic shoes of any brand from a variety of sources, including end of life shoes collected through a variety of recycling programs, special events and at Nike or other stores, and then uses the processed kicks (turned into “NIKE GRIND”) to build community atheltic courts for kids. It was no surprise to us that when we caught up with LEBRON JAMES’ FAM at a dinner at LA ESQUINA did we come to find that LEBRON is one of...
Ever been on the subway in NYC and spied an attractive naked woman in high-heels standing next to you? Kind of distracting, right? PETA was obviously thinking the same thing with their new anti-fur ad starring Nia Long. Unfortunately, it’s so horribly photoshopped that I’m finding myself trying to figure out which parts of her are real. And honestly, would you ever let your genitalia touch a NY subway pole? Eek! The movie/television actress (you’ve potentially seen her in something) says, “When I became a mother, I started to really understand the importance of all living creatures in a way...

Considering the ESPYs is a straightforward sports awards show I was pretty impressed with their commitment to creating a sustainable event. Dubbed as “Environmentality” on their homepage, there’s a link which takes you to some behind-the-scenes videos specifically about the lengths they went to this year to ensure a lower impact show. Here are a few highlights: Red carpet made out of 51,000 recycled plastic bottles and can be recycled All food and flatware was compostable including biodegradable water bottles Low power LED screens, low VOC paints, 100% responsibly harvested wood to be reused or donated to Habitat for Humanity...
Last night two of my favorite passions came together: the environment and high end fashion. Louis Vuitton helped mark the 40th anniversary of the first lunar landing with a beautiful star-studded party at the Museum of Natural History in Manhattan. Their newest campaign, featuring Jim Lovell, commander of NASA’s Apollo 13 mission, Buzz Aldrin, the second man to set foot on the moon, and Sally Ride, the first woman in space, launched (no pun intended) last night as well. Television fashionistas Jessica Szohr and Whitney Port, singers Lance Bass, Estelle and Cassie, my bff June Ambrose, and a very pregnant Victoria’s...
