The Bite:
imageIf you catch actress Kelly Rutherford throwing a fit on the NYC set of Gossip Girl, um, wait 'til it's over then give her an eco high five. This drama mama turned real mom amped up her eco-lifestyle when she had toddler Hermes (#2's on the way), working with Healthy Child Healthy World and Baby Buggy, which donates gently used kiddie items to NYC fams in need. She's also the spokesgal for Sylvania Living Spaces CFL bulbs - when she's not making a scene.

What's your eco pet peeve?
KR: Restaurants that use disposable cups, containers, and utensils. It would make a huge difference if they switched over to biodegradable. And it's not a difficult thing to do.

What's the item you can't live without, right now?
KR: Right now it's Seventh Generation diapers.

Where do you shop?
KR: For my son, I shop at places like Green for Baby. It has a lot of great clothes and home items too, like organic crib mattresses.
Wanna Try: 
We hear you can spot Kelly sipping tea-to-go from a biodegradable cup at Le Pain Quotidien, 922 Seventh Ave. Map It (212-757-0775).
