Alicia Silverstone will forever be famous for her starring role in Clueless, but if you ask her, she’ll probably tell you that the most clueless thing in her past was her animal product-including diet. The gone-green star has been living a vegan lifestyle for about 11 years and she advocates the switch to everyone for health, beauty and environmental reasons. In fact, Silverstone supports the switch so much that she’s penned a book (titled The Kind Diet) on the subject, and in conjunction with the book release, she’s launched a website called The Kind Life.

On her website, Silverstone promises she will offer up a steady stream of information on eco-focused advice on a range of topics (food, health, house, style, and environment). Unlike Gwyneth Paltrow’s GOOP e-newsletter, however, The Kind Life site also features a forum where readers can participate in a green social network and provide ideas for each other.

Actress Sarah Jane Morris isn’t a household name—yet—although she starred in the Will Smith film Seven Pounds and appears weekly on ABC’s Brothers and Sisters, but if you measure celebrities on their eco-friendliness alone, Morris would be as A-list as they come. A big motivator in her decision to get green was An Inconvenient Truth (as it was for so many people), but an environmental scientist brother and a husband eager for a low-impact lifestyle also helped facilitate the change.

Now Morris drives around in an old Mercedes she had modified to run on veggie diesel and she’s been known to lurk the back alleys near sushi restaurants around the time they toss their tempura oil (which she says is the cleanest for the car). Even with her green vehicle, however, Morris tries to walk, bike and carpool to reduce her time on the road. At home she has a worm compost where she composts all she can and is using the compost to plant her organic vegetable garden. Impressed? We are. Click here to read more
