Los Angeles Gets CONNECTED
Posted in Peeps We Rep, art, events, girls we heart by thuy | Tags: abboy kinney festival, alter eco, connected, Pink Cloud Events
Our girl Sarah Shewey of Pink Cloud Events really did her thug thizzle this past weekend at the Abbot Kinney festival. Her execution of the green lifestyle area, CONNECTED, was a smashing success.
The festivities kicked off on Saturday night with a VIP lounge for media and sponsors of the event. The real party started on Sunday, where over 100 thousand people made their way to the festival to enjoy a day of music, food, shopping and entertainment.
GG&S was honored to be a media sponsor for CONNECTED, and we were excited to see so many people taking an interactive part in the lifestlye lounge. A good time was had by all!
Check out our girl Sarah Shewey’s blog at Pink Cloud Events, or peep her appearance on Alter Eco, or contact her for more socially conscious event planning here.
Thanks for letting us be a part of such a succcesful and meaningful movement!

Google Transit
Posted in auto/transportation by jen | Tags: google transit, google translate, new york
On Sept, 23rd, 2008, Google Transit launched a feature which makes it easier for New Yorkers and visitors to the city, to plan trips and locate destinations on one of the largest transit systems in the United States.
Google Transit incorporates the cities subway stops, bus routes and commuter trains to outlying areas with its map features including street views. Simply type in your departure point and your destination and voilà, everything you need is at your fingertips.
No more guessing if the train you hopped on is going to drop you off in Williamsburg instead of the West Village. There’s also a feature called “Google Translate” so the tool can be used for the city’s non-English speaking tourists, visitors or immigrants.

Go Veggie
Posted in animal cruelty, animal rights by jen | Tags: world vegetarian day
Founded in 1977, and taking place on October 1st, World Vegetarian Day, was created to promote the “joy, compassion and life-enhancing possibilities of vegetarianism”. It is a day for meat eaters to give meatless dining selections a try and for vegetarians to celebrate being a “veggie”.
Encourage your friends to give it a try for a day, or even a month (October also marks Vegetarian Awareness Month).
Put down that pepperoni pizza and pick up a veggie burger!!

Lindsay Lohan- Green Grown And Sexy?
Posted in celeb, food/drink by jen | Tags: lindsay lohan, plastic bag
Apparently Lindsay Lohan is on the Britneys Spears diet of cigs, soda and snacks (looks like she prefers Doritos over Britney’s fave, Cheetos), but at least she didn’t take a plastic bag.
I’m giving her credit for this one. Go Lindsay!

Gossip Girls And Great Food
Posted in food/drink by jen | Tags: entourage, gossip girl, locally grown, magnolia bakery, organic
Had a girls night and watched back to back episodes of Gossip Girls and Entourage (trashy, I know) and enjoyed an amazing locally grown, organic meal prepared by executive chef, Melissa Bowers (ok, she’s actually just my homegirl but she’s a maestro in the kitchen).
Arugula and parmesan salad, cherry tomatoes with bocconcini, fennel and endive salad, sauteed kale and organic farm-raised chicken with rosemary stuffed with baby potatoes (being a veggie, I passed on the chicken, but the girls seemed to enjoy it). It felt great to have a home cooked meal after a steady diet of Magnolia Bakery cupcakes.

Do Vegetarians Really Do It Better?
Posted in sexy ting tings by thuy | Tags: daily green, pork, pussy, vegetarians, vegporn, youporn
VegPorn is not your average YouPorn. The site was started by..um…hold on…wait for it….Furry Girl and has been around since 2003. Damn, how have I been going on without this site for the past 5 years? I kid, I kid.
They don’t care about size or shape and all of their models are vegans or vegetarians. You can join for the low price of $12 a month, although I don’t think I would, even if it were $FREE.99. Be prepared to see lots of trees as backdrops and bushy, unshaved yes yes holes straight from the 70’s. Herbivores delight! Or as they lightly put it, “Eat Pussy, Not Pork.”
Warning- if you happen to be at your desk right now, I highly suggest you look over both shoulders before checking out the two links above. They are VERY NSFW.

Walmart To Reduce Plastic Bags
Posted in environment, reusable, shopping by jen | Tags: 11th hour, EDF, leonardo dicaprio, walmart
The last time I was in a Walmart was to pick up a couple copies of the Leonardo Dicaprio narrated DVD, The 11th Hour. Having grown up in Canada, Walmart stores are a dime a dozen, while they are few and far between in Los Angeles.
All that aside, Walmart is looking to eliminate 9 million plastic shopping bags per year by the year 2013. Walmart will team up with the Environmental Defense Fund (EFD) to develop strategies to reduce, reuse and recycle an average of one-third of their plastic bags from 2008 levels. This will result in the elimination of an estimated 290,000 tonnes of carbon emissions and energy consumption equal to 678,000 barrels of oil.

I hope you’ve downed your 3rd Sunday mimosa or bloody mary by now. It will make the clip above funnier than hell and the one below easier to get through.

Next time you’re at Tar-jay doing your household run for Method cleaning supplies or natural beauty products, be sure to mosey on over to the apparel section and check out their line of organic cotton t-shirts for men and women. They have ones with graphics as well as solid colored tee’s. We picked up a few for our workout wear and they are so soft. At $12.99 a pop, you’ll want one in every color. Well O.K., not all of them because that would be excessive. Check out Target online to see their growing list of eco-friendly products.
