Although I’m not a vegetarian I’d like to take the time and wish anyone who is a Happy World Vegetarian Day.

Happy World Vegetarian Day

Most of us probably agree that what we eat affects our lives and it’s true, a vegetarian diet might actually be healthier. Of course there are people (like me) who probably wouldn’t do without meat on their daily diet, for them, vegetarians around the world have a really simple test. How about a meat-free diet for 24 hours, just to see that it can be done?

Sir Paul McCartney, former Beatle, and his family and a few other celebrities have embarked upon a commendable campaign asking people to abstain from meat and go vegetarian once a week in order to help fight climate change. Sir Paul, his daughters Stella and Mary as well as the celebrities have urged everyone to forsake meat on Mondays.

The campaign, named Meat-Free Monday, is aimed at reducing emissions of greenhouse-gases from the world’s livestock population. Livestock is believed to be one of the main causes of global warming.

Cameroon Diaz, the strikingly attractive female starring in The Mask and There’s Something About Mary, opened up at NBC’s Tonight Show with Jay Leno: “It’s one of those things that is just a lifestyle choice. I was brought up that way, so it’s something that I automatically do. I’m rigged that way.”

Earth is an awesome movie produced with the help of world’s best nature filmmakers, and Disneynature the first film label that has been introduced by Walt Disney in over 60 years. That in itself, should convey the significance, seriousness and the efforts that Disney is taking up.

However, unlike many other movie makers who make sweeping documentaries that only promote awareness, these guys decided to go a step further and offer all movie lovers to make a difference in a small yet worthy fashion by adding more trees to the planet. That means that If you go to the theater to watch it, Disney will plant a tree on your behalf in Brazil.

Disney has identified that the Brazilian Atlantic Forest is a sensitive and delicate ecosystem where only 7% of the original tropical rainforests is still intact today. That’s why this is where they’ll plant the trees, nurture them and ensure that the forest is replenished.

Apart from being part of a great and moving visual experience come April 22, when the Earth hits the screen, you can also do your little bid to help save the planet. Of course you can plant a tree yourself, but that’s also uber-cool… Kudos to Disney!

Juan Herrera, Cristhian Vargas, Ibeth Jaramillo, Angelica Fernandez, and Pablo Dorado are Colombian fashion designers who know as much about fashion as I reckon any other fashion designer does. It looks good on stage but where you going to wear the things? These folks are different, however, because their fashion is all about bio-themed creations.

Cat of nine tails made into a skirt, ivy for stockings, leaves for covering things up, flowers for adornment, bamboo sheaves for I don’t know. Isn’t it possible that some people are trying too hard to capitalize on the eco-friendly trend.

And the problem is still the same – where you going to wear the things?

PETA is at it again. After demonstrating against bullfights, this time they decided to pick on the most successful designer to come out of Italy, Giorgio Armani. The PETA Angels waved their placards saying “Be an Angel for Animals. Ditch Fur!” just in their underwear. Guess the only thing that kept them warm where those angel wings that probably did miracles.

The result? They turned at least one guy green. He really looks like understanding the cause for which these girls went out naked. Check the pictures below, but be advised that your boss may think they’re not that safe for work.

Reduce, reuse and recycle is the eco-mantra of the environmentally conscious and nothing shouts out green better than recycling old stuff into useful products. The utility goes up by a couple of notches if that recycling ends up producing some real sexy lingerie for women. This may not be the most wearable fabric in the world, but eco-lingerie crafted from recycled old cans is surely a spotlight stealer in its own unique way.

Crafted by designer Ingrid Goldbloom Bloch, this special range of lingerie is bright and bubbly with the silver and the red that it sports. There is also a handbag that seems to be a far more sensible option for something that can be useful on more practical basis.

The idea might be crazy, but it surely helps further promote green awareness with its bold new statement.

This is weird. In China the girls are wearing recycled newspapers as part of their fashion.

University students can be seen wearing the fashion creations in the southern city of Haikou in South China’s Hainana Province. I suppose that’s one way to get students to read a newspaper.

“Hmm…I wonder what I am going to wear today?”

“Why not try the sports page, or the entertainment section?”

“Yeah, and you’d look pretty good in the funny papers or the classifieds.”

Fashion students in the local university were the designers. I suppose that one could buy a newspaper for a $1 and make several disposable outfits out of it. Now, where’ my water hose when I need it?
