Longtime vegetarian and passionate eco-advocate Alicia Silverstone strikes us as beautiful, inside and out. The actress is bursting with tips to make life a little greener, and she spills a few of them to 944 magazine.

“Whenever you need to buy something, try to buy it used. Used is better than new. If you need a blender, go on Craigslist and find a blender!”

Alicia also reveals why she thinks caring for the environment is sexy:

“Consciousness is really sexy…People who care – who are growing all the time and open to change – are sexy. Not caring is so stale. What can those people teach you? I want every person around me to inspire me.”

Alicia will publish a book, The Kind Diet, in October. Here’s a sneak preview:

 ”The book is about being kind to yourself, being kind to animals and being kind to the environment, all in one bite…It’s just easy-to-read, easy-to-digest…For those who want good skin, or to lose weight, or for the enviro-curious, this book is for you!”

Can’t wait to pick it up for more of Alicia’s ideas on living a healthy, eco-friendly lifestyle!
