According to Greenhouse, the E-Fuel MicroFueler system is a model for energy sustainability. It produces organic fuel, or E-Fuel100, for about two-thirds the cost of gasoline, and can be installed and operated safely at residences or businesses.

Using patented ethanol separation-column technology, the appliance-sized unit produces ethanol and pumps it directly into the consumer’s vehicle. The Greenhouse team delivers raw material and maintains the home-based unit as part of the service package it offers.

I’m not sure how much these babies are gonna cost to actually install in the house but I’m kinda hoping that Heidi and Spencer get one and then make a reality show about it. Wait, not that last part.

Check out the below interview with Chris Ursitti:

“I want to not only dedicate this performance to him, because without Michael Jackson, I wouldn’t be performing onstage tonight,” Feldman told the crowd. “He is with us here tonight.”

The former actor turned musician/eco-activist wore a Jackson-style buttoned regal jacket and told the crowd to give 30 seconds of silence in memory of his close friend. His band Truth Movement was performing in Los Angeles at a gig Feldman declared as “off the grid” for its use of alternative fuels onsite to take the place of electricity. The show ran on a bio-diesel generator and fuel powered by L.A.’s @ Power — something the 37-year-old is adamant about attempting to do for all his live concerts.

“I have been a proponent of sustainable energy practices for many years,” commented Feldman, “and can’t think of a better way to create real change in the world than to partner with companies and individuals to bring the Off the Grid Tour to fruition, proving that effective implementation of alternative energy sources can be done.”

For my very first Ecorazzi assignment, I had the chance go to the Green is the Colour event at the Key Club in L.A, featuring Corey Feldman’s band Truth Movement.

Before the performances began we were treated to a short preview of Fuel — an awesome new documentary about America’s addiction to oil. Check out the trailer on their site and learn the top ten things you can do right now to live a more sustainable lifestyle.

Also at the event was Ed Begley Jr., who’s been green since 1970!!!! He stressed to the audience that being green IS cost effective in the long run and we can all do so much if we change just one thing! He then helped lead an auction which featured items like a Fender Guitar signed by Corey Feldman and his entire band! Of course all of the proceeds from the bidding went to Global Green.

Truth Movement finally hit the stage and they pulled out all the stops. Just picture Corey Feldman rockin’ out with a bunch of backup singers, projections on a screen above, a fog machine, and an insanely talented band. So fun!

Its always fantastic to see people coming out to support a greener lifestyle. And this event surely did not disappoint.

Over the past couple years Ecorazzi has spotlighted all of the chicken drama going on at KFC and the celebrity faces who are helping to end the cruelty.

From Pamela Anderson to Corey Feldman, stars have lined up around the block to speak out against the shady company. 

Well now Smashing Pumpkins lead singer Billy Corgan and former drummer Jimmy Chamberlin are getting involved by signing PETA’s petition against the cruel company.

According to PETA’s site: 

“Our undercover investigators have documented that KFC suppliers cut off birds’ beaks, cram birds into huge waste-filled sheds, and breed them to grow so large so quickly that their legs become crippled under their weight. At slaughter, their throats are cut, and they’re dropped into tanks of scalding-hot water—often while they’re still conscious. This contradicts KFC’s claim that it “only deal[s] with suppliers who promise to maintain our high standards and commitment to animal welfare.”

If you’re sick and tired of KFC getting away with murder, visit PETA’s site and sign their petition!

One of our favorite veggie celebs – Corey Feldman — is offering a special “once-in-a-lifetime” experience in a new online auction to raise funds for charity.

So what’s this once-in-a-lifetime experience? Feldman is donating a series of prizes, including a Meet and Greet along with VIP attendance and backstage passes to the album release party/Green Carpet event for his new CD Technology Analogy.  You can also win a lunch at the Ivy in Beverly Hills with Corey and his wife Susie Feldman, a personal one-on-one acting scene study, and your own personalized phone voice message/greeting/recording made by Corey or Susie. 

We had the chance to hang with both Corey and Susie last year and I can personally attest to the duo’s coolness! 

All the proceeds from the auction will benefit Farm Sanctuary — a groovy organization working to end cruelty to farm animals — and Hollywood Note Foundation – an group created to further promote, expand, contribute, and to honor those global philanthropic endeavors of Hollywood celebrities, charities and corporations. 

Bids are being accepted from now until February 15th, so get your butt over to Auction Wire and get involved!

Farm Sanctuary is kind of like that gift that keeps on giving. I mean seriously, how can you not leave these guys?! As the nations leading animal rescue organization, Farm Sanctuary strives to see a world where the violence that animal agriculture inflicts upon people, animals and the environment has ended, and where instead we exercise values of compassion.

Last night Ecorazzi had the honor of attending the organizations Winter Wonderland for the Animals event and catching up with a few of our favorite Hollywood do-gooders. The evening was held at the beautiful Art Directors Club in midtown Manhattan and was jam packed with New York’s most compassionate crowd. 

Upon arrival we made our way to the press area and said hello to Corey and Susie Feldman, Jennifer Coolidge, Daniella Sea and many more. Of course the evening wouldn’t be complete without a little face time with Alison Becker, Loretta Swit, Chloe Jo Berman, Victoria Moran, Karen Dawn and Joshua Katcher. We also spotted Ally Sheedy, Tatum O’Neal, Peter and Mary Max and Princess Superstar! 

After all that celebrity chatting we were STARVING and so we headed on over to the beautiful array of all vegan nosh, provided by some of New York’s hottest restaurants. Truthfully, everything we tasted was out of this world, but a few of our personal favorites were Dr. Cow’s all raw vegan cheese (order this right now, it will change your life), Candle 79’s Seitan Chimichurri and Lula’s Peanut-Butter Fudge Ice Cream! A-FRIGIN-MAZING!!!

The evening closed with a lively auction to help raise money for all of Farm Sancutary’s important work and a speech by co-founder, Gene Baur! Oh and we have some GREAT news!! Staring next Monday, Ecorazzi will be bringing you six full days of Farm Sanctuary Exclusive interviews with the parties hottest stars! That’s what I’m talking about!

In addition to backstage passes and a meet and greet with the band, the winning video will be played live at the event. The winning video will also be posted on Corey’s website, on YouTube and on the Technology Analogy MySpace page. Truth Movement (Corey’s band) will perform an exclusive set at the event.”

From this official blog:

“NO! There is no Goonies 2! I’m sorry but it’s just not gonna happen. It seems every 6 months the rumor mill gets started up again and people run around both excited and angry, and eventually I have to respond. I would have loved to do this movie under the direction of Donner (who wouldn’t?) but it is just not meant to be.”

Son of a b**ch! CHUNK!

The actor/director best known for this childhood movie days opposite actor Corey Haim, has just launched a new recording label called Cifi Records. The first album to debut from the label is titled ‘Technology Analogy’ and comes from Feldman’s band ‘Truth Movement’. To give folks a taste of the Pink Floyd inspired groove, the group has released a new single called ‘Green is the Colour’. Here’s what Corey had to say of the work off his site,

“Please don’t judge the album based soley on the listening pleasure you get from “Green is the Colour” because this song is just one piece of the bigger picture. A very exciting part of this song is that Zen and Corey’s niece Alexa are making their debut as recording artists. The two children narrate the introduction to the song and also sing the chorus at the end of the song. Remember, Green is not only the colour, but also a way of life! Go Green!!”

According to the press release, the album was made with special 100% biodegradable materials including recyclable paper, soy ink, and even a corn plastic disc tray.
