Christian Serratos, actress from the upcoming vampire movie New Moon, does some beautiful mooning of her own in an ad for PETA. Serratos leans against a tree wearing nothing in PETA's "Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" ad campaign series.
Christian Serratos is a longtime vegetarian who loves animals. The actress recently put out a PCA in collaboration with PETA for ending the annual "Canadian Seal Slaughter." Serratos says, "I've always been opposed to slaughtering, eating, wearing carcass."
Forests cover some 15 per cent of the Earth's surface and hold 50 per cent of its animal species. They sequester 15 per cent of the planet's emissions of greenhouse gases and prevent soil erosion. According to the Centre for International Forestry Research, more than 1 billion people depend on forests for food, lodging, medication and fuel. The Amazon forests are the most critical in terms of carbon sequestered and the diversity of plant and animal species.
Meat eating is bad for the environment because deforestation, which accounts for about one-fifth of the world's greenhouse gas emissions, clears land for the meat industry to raise its livestock. In a new agreement the Brazilian government and the nation's three largest meat processors, JBS, Bertin and Marfrig say that from now on they will not buy cattle raised in areas that are currently covered by rainforest.
Lindsey Allen of Greenpeace says, "We haven't saved the Amazon. But we've taken on a really significant driver that was continuing to expand into the Amazon." Brazil's government and an independent agency will enforce the moratorium using satellite photography, aerial observation, and site visits.
Australian model Miranda Kerr has launched her own organic skincare line, called Kora for a type of meditation that Tibetan Buddhists practice. Her interest in Tibetan Buddhism stems from a lifetime of doing Yoga and meditation for her body and mind. "Yoga is so important to me. I've been doing it for a long time now and I've taken it to a fairly serous level," Kerr told the Herald Sun. "Through Yoga I became interested in meditation and positive affirmations. My favorite is: I am a vibrant being of love and light. How beautiful is that?"
Miranda, studied psychology, naturopathy, and nutrition at school, and grew up to be passionate about eating organic. "I eat fresh and organic foods wherever and whenever possible." Among these are things like organic green tea, organic peppermint tea, organic gluten-free muesli, organic fruit, organic raw almonds, organic Tamari roasted almonds, organic almond milk, Kombucha goat's milk, Fiji water, and Noni juice. "It's what I put in the inside so I glow on the outside," Kerr says.
Miranda at New York's Reebok Gym, promoting the Jukari Fit to Fly exercise equipment, a free-hanging, trapeze-like contraption that's meant to help strengthen the core muscles. Miranda Kerr's fitness routine involves plenty of mix n' match on a Yoga base. "I practice yoga every given chance and have a tough trainer when I want an intense cardio workout. We do everything from boxing to running to light weights. I also make an effort to visit the gym at least once every second day."
