clean coal ad makes coal look shady

peabody energy, the world's largest coal company, just launched an ad campaign advocating 'clean coal'. although some people argue that the term 'clean coal' is an oxymoron and marketing scheme because there is no way that coal can be clean, others insist that the group of technologies that lie under the clean coal umbrella are a desirable way to… Continue

Chloe Jo Berman

On a recent Monday afternoon, Chloe Jo Berman fluttered around her Upper East Side apartment as she talked about her life as a vegan and animal rights activist. Her air was casual and breezy, so much so that one barely notices the amount of facts and information she…

Could Obama Be Our 1st Eco-President?



It's hard to type through my tears as I watch the inauguration of our 44th President Of The United States Barack H. Obama. We have weathered the continuing storm of inequality but can we now weather the storm to Stop Global Warming? Our new President seems to believe so. In his address to the nation he mentioned saving our planet in the 1st 40 seconds of his speech. But we can not depend on one person to save us, President Obama needs us more… Continue

saving products that are comparably more sustainable

I am continually striving to eliminate the amount of products I use in my home. That even goes for products that are labeled 'eco' or 'green.' Ideally I'd like to clean my home with a few key ingredients, like what's listed here at the Berkeley Ecology Center's website. But I understand that not… Continue

a mutt for the white house





What's more American than a mutt? A creature, like me, who is of mixed origin. I can rattle off at least 5 different ethnicities that are in my family history. I'd like to think that gives me some kind of genetic advantage.



I'm not putting down the purebreed. But here's why mutts are so great. They're usually really interesting looking and don't have crazy… Continue

EcoTrend: Chopsticks

at first glance, you might be skeptical about yunhong chopsticks shop's business model. after all, chopsticks aren't really considered high on the "must-have" item list. but consider the link that the owner of the franchise store might have been banking on: having your own pair of chopsticks is the ultimate eco-fashion accessory. not only does carrying around your own chopsticks cut down on a huge amount of waste, it's also downright… Continue
