It's been a long time since Alicia Silverstone was "Clueless." Since then she's earned accolades on screen and stage, most recently in Donald Marguilies's Time Stands Still, directed by Tony Award winner Daniel Sullivan, which she'll take to Broadway in January. At the same time, the longtime environmental activist's unique brand of non-judgmental yet no-holds-barred diet advice was earning a different kind of approval, as she recently told in this interview [excerpted from EcoStiletto]. The experience lead her to write The Kind Diet: How to Feel Great, Lose Weight, and Save the Planet (Rodale), which debuts this month.

The ecoista is clued in to the best in vegan fashion and beauty--like Melissa Plastic Dream shoes, Ecoganik clothes and Josie Maran Cosmetics--which she'll share with readers of TheKindLife.com, a new website that will launch later this year. The EcoTools by Alicia Silverstone collection of cosmetic bags made from hemp with a recycled PET lining debuts for holiday. (EcoStiletto has giveaways of the bags lined up each week through December for its Members.) But among all of this sustainable swag, Alicia also confessed to one eco-sin: An addiction to paraben-containing moisturizer. "That's my one naughty treat," she said. "I buy it like once a year. It's smells so yummy!"
