No, Amber Valletta is not looking for a green-hued ocean, but by teaming up with Oceana.org (and the likes of Ted Danson), she is advocating a healthier environment and healthier eating.
Back in May, Valletta began speaking out and campaigning against mercury exposure. Now a mother, the cover girl is using her face as spokesperson for change.

Back when I enjoyed eating seafood (who’s kidding me? I will always love and miss seafood), I would chow down about any fish, not worrying for a second what environmental impact it may have. Fish flesh was just too good.
Things have changed a bit in my world, and now I only consume of any fauna [...]
Gas prices have nixed my willingness to order delivery food any longer.
Last Thursday, Marc and I decided I would order myself chinese food for dinner, which thrilled me, as I rarely get to eat the stuff… Marc hates it. It was convenient, however, for we were travelling that weekend and wanted no mess to clean [...]
A colleague of mine recently had me meet Pete Pagano of Green Planet Catering here in Raleigh, NC.
NBC 17 covered the company recently, and though the catering company has only been catering for about half a year, but the concept has been growing much much longer.
I have to admit, the “greenie” in me is deeply [...]
I visited Twig this week, a unique store here in the Triangle (Chapel Hill) that sells sustainability, community and eco-awareness at sustainable prices, and this weekend (May 17) they are partnering with local non-profits, but more on that later.
I loved talking with the staff. The owner shared that everything in the store has a story, [...]
A press release today told me a giant shopping cart with a Chevy engine on it is back, racing around the Triangle this month. It’s the “Got to Be NC Big Cart”, which I remember seeing at the 2007 N.C. State Fair.
This cart is showing off for the NC Dept of Ag “Got to Be [...]
So, last year when I found out that Raleigh (nor anywhere else in the Triangle) recycles yogurt cups despite being #1 in the little recycling triangle, I was skeeved.
Yes, it seems that much of NC will not recycle recyclable plastic ~ not unless it is shaped like a bottle and thus has a “neck” smaller [...]
I just stumbled (twittered, actually) onto the coolest website called Green Mom Finds. I had as much fun finding this as when I found Raise A Green Dog! Just like Raise a Green Dog, Green Mom Finds is a really grounded way to get info on healthy living, fun finds, eco-responsible shopping, and just in [...]
I spent yesterday at Herbfest in Wake Forest before heading out to downtown Raleigh for the last half of their Earth Day celebrations.
Let me just say, Herbfest ~ you are cool. No wonder Sierra Club named Wake Forest one of America’s coolest cities!
Further, Raleigh, I got there at 530 for an event that was supposed [...]
In case you hadn’t heard, Raleigh banned sink garbage disposals, but after outcry and various town meetings, Raleigh is now repealing the ban and ALLOWING garbage disposals.
No $25k a day fines. No need to gripe. No issue for builders.
I’ll stick with my buddy, Doug, on the final sentiment I have:
My debate was cleared up once [...]
