Sushi is a very sheik thing to eat. Celebrities love it. Today, sushi is synonymous with New York City and Los Angeles.

But now, celebrities like Woody Harrelson and Sting are petitioning popular sushi restaurant Nobu to take bluefin off their menu.

Bluefin tuna is nearing extinction. In a letter to Nobu, concerned celebrities asked Nobu to stop serving tuna. I guess it worked, because Nobu’s London restaurant agreed to put a note on the menu telling patrons tuna is endangered.

No one wants Charlie Tuna to disappear and here’s another reason to ditch the tuna. The Environmental Defense Fund calls bluefin tuna an eco-worst and recommends avoiding it, citing mercury and PCB contamination.

Like I said, I love sushi! But I’m careful to order low or no pollution fish. Salmon and mackerel are my favorites—especially sashimi salmon—and both salmon and mackerel are safer choices.

In this toenail-snipping video, singer Alanis Morissette asks you to join the big turn off. Now, I’m a fan of Alanis, she’s super hot, but she’s a very “earthy crunchy” celebrity, so critics of global warming will just consider Earth Hour more hippie blah-blah. We need more presidents, politicians and influential figures trumpeting the cause. No offense Alanis.

In 2008, 50 million people in countries all over the world, from New York and Los Angeles to Rome and Hong Kong and everywhere in between, took part in Earth Hour. So, don’t be a curmudgeon. Turn off the lights, fire up a candle and give the earth a freaking break!

Singers like Dolly Parton, Martina McBride, Carrie Underwood, Vince Gill and Sara Evans created exclusive, hand-designed lunchboxes that are being auctioned through a special eBay charity event, which concludes tomorrow evening.

At press time, lunchbox bids ranged from $9.99 to $610, and all auctions will close between 9 p.m. and 9:34 p.m. tomorrow (Eastern time). Show your organic spirit by bidding on a one-of-a-kind lunchbox to aid this worthwhile charity.

Second Harvest collects food that would otherwise be wasted and distributes it to soup kitchens, pantries and shelters. During the 2003–2004 fiscal year, the organization distributed more than 14.5 million pounds of food to hungry adults and children—an impressive achievement.
