Which one doesn’t fit: boys kissing girls, girls kissing boys, boys kissing boys, girls kissing girls, eco-friendly parental figure kissing Mother Earth? While the last choice might have stood out more than Lindsay Lohan in a stolen fur coat, it was actually a trick question! They all have one thing in common…GOSSIP GIRL!!!
True, the first thing you think of when you hear Gossip Girl is probably a bunch rich, horny, young people doing scandalous deeds against the balmy backdrop of a perfect NYC. However, like all actors, when the camera turns off they’re all just a bunch of normal people doing regular old things. And nowadays being regular means GOING GREEN!!!
Industry vet and Gossip Girl regular Kelly Rutherford recently told US magazine that she’s officially gone green. That’s right, Kelly and her husband are building an eco-house complete with denim insulation, earth-friendly lighting, and all the other bells and whistles you might expect in eco-architechture. And what inspired the change? None other than her brand new 18-month-old baby. Kelly said, “You think: Wow, they come in so pure, you want to keep it that way.”
Kelly isn’t the first celeb to develop green baby inspiration. In fact, in the past few months Ecorazzi has told you all about the maternal environmental awakenings of stars like Julia Roberts and Melissa Joan Hart. But you don’t need a bun in the oven to get serious about the environment. Just throw on that organic cotton shirt, hop in your solar powered car and head down to the local used bookstore and pick up one of the many inspirational green books now available. I mean if the Gossip Girls are doing it, it must be cool. Right?
“I love Stella McCartney’s braided t-bar sandals. As a vegetarian I love that they’re leather-free. Style-wise, I think they’re glam but low-key and beachy enough to wear every day on holiday.”
If you’ve watched even one episode of America’s Next Top Model then you most certainly know “noted fashion photographer” Nigel Barker. But what you probably don’t know is that Nigel is involved with about about a bazillion great charities that span across the board, and most recently helped try to stop the 
I know, I know — more Pamela Anderson news. But what can we say, this chick keeps doing awesome things!
I’ll tell you this: Sting loves him some rainforest. In fact, for almost two decades Sting has been an eco-champion for the environment, and will celebrate his 20 years with Some Kinda Legacy — a benefit concert at Carnegie Hall to raise money for the 
Whether you’re a tofu-eating, grain munching vegan like me, or a meat-eating, dairy drinking non-vegan like…well…just about everyone else, I think — if given the choice — most people would like to see animals treated humanely before they die.
Vegans everywhere might just have themselves a reason to say YEE-HAW!!
I assume (because you read Ecorazzi) that most of you try to live as green as possible, but sometimes that paycheck (or lack thereof) can really stand in the way of true and utter greenness. My mom works for a company that sells solar panels which makes that kind of technology a whole lot cheaper for her, but what about the rest of us? Most individuals don’t have the funds to invest in solar panelling — so what do we do?
