Celebs offer glimpse into their eco-friendly lifestyles on TV special
Owen Wilson joins motorcycle mogul Jesse James and singer Alanis Morrisette to offer a glimpse of their eco-friendly lifestyles, along with other fascinating people who are living green, in the one-hour special "It's Easy Being Green" to premiere Saturday, April 21 at 10p ET/PT on the FINE LIVING TV NETWORK.
In this TV special Wilson reveals, "I don't have to pay parking meters and I'm able to go [solo] in the car pool lane...Because I have this sticker, the [parking police] guy wasn't able to give me a ticket."
The car's sticker "Access OK: California Clean Air Vehicle" lands him extra driving privileges. In Santa Monica, CA, hybrid vehicles can park at meters for free.
"I didn't have much of a sensitivity to this stuff [environmental issues]. There is the obvious thing, how the car helps the environment, but really I just liked the cars...," admits Wilson to Green Guru Renée Loux, who hosts the FINE LIVING TV NETWORK's "It's Easy Being Green.
"By knowing Harrelson," the actor claims he soon learned these cars were more than just "good cars to drive" and more of an easy way for him to help make a difference.
"There are little things you can do, or I've learned that I can do, to make a difference with global warming and all of the problems facing the environmental," says Wilson. "And it's nice that you can do something to help."
Loux's interview with Wilson airs nationwide as part of the Earth Day special "It's Easy Being Green" on the FINE LIVING TV NETWORK, the first and only TV network dedicated to helping people do more with their time and money.
Premiering Saturday, April 21 at 10p ET/PT, FINE LIVING TV NETWORK's "It's Easy Being Green" is hosted by Green Guru and celebrity nutritionist Renée Loux, also author of "The Balanced Palate." The special provides viewers with a wealth of ideas about how to live a fuller life while also contributing to the well-being of the planet, and even shows ways to save some 'green' - as in money - in the process.

Rock the Earth
After a rough month or so with the winter illnesses, I'm trying to get up to speed on this blog and life in general. I hope you are all feeling well and looking forward to spring. Today, I enjoyed the nice weather in New York and went out for lunch. I took a book with me, Passionaries: Turning Compassion Into Action,' by Barbara R. Metzler and read several of the chapters in the book and I highly recommend this book.
This book is the collection of inspiring stories behind 35 world-impacing nonprofits, including USA Harvest, Make-A-Wish, Ronald McDonald, and Habitat for Humanity. The stories are truly inspirational and I plan on reading one per day to my three children. I want them to realize that no matter how much money you have, how old you are, how much money you don't have, you can do SOMETHING to help this world.
You can check out the website at http://www.passionaries.org/.
Barbara says she's going to write another book and I can't wait.

Overview
Founded in 2002 by environmental attorney Marc Ross, Rock the Earth’s members include environmental attorneys, technical consultants, public relations, marketing and media relations experts, as well as a fundraising team. Many of the members have more than ten years experience in their various areas of expertise.
"Rock the Earth's Volunteer Staff includes environmental professionals with a broad base of knowledge and expertise in environmental science and law. Of the Volunteer Staff, two are environmental attorneys. In addition, Rock the Earth has three other environmental attorneys consulting on a variety of issues, from time to time. Our legal expertise includes, but is not limited to: water quality, surface and underground mining, hazardous and non-hazardous waste, remediation, air quality, endangered species, remediation and environmental impacts due to land development and urban sprawl."
I had a long conversation with its founder, Marc Ross, today and they are working hard on several projects (some you may not have even heard of because the issue is not receiving national press or it's not in your hometown). They have worked with the likes of Dave Matthews, Barenaked Ladies, the Allman Brothers, Bonnie Raitt, Michael Franti, Gov't Mule and more, bringing information on tours with these artists to help raise money and awareness. Definitely an organization to take a closer look at if you're interested in helping out.
To a healthier spring,
