Hunka Hunka Burnin' Sludge

ElvisOver the next few weeks, I will be covering the events at Chicago's Green Festival, a large environmental conference sponsored by Global Exchange and Co-op America that will also be visiting Seattle, Washington D.C. and San Francisco. The conference features a number of speakers and vendors, and I'm on a quest to spotlight as many as possible.

I wanted to give you advance notice of just one of the characters who will be in Chicago. Green E: The Environmental Elvis, whose motto is "Savin' the Planet, One Song at a Time," rewrites the lyrics of famous Elvis songs into titles like "Don't Waste Fuel" ("Don't be Cruel") and "Hunka Hunka Burnin Sludge" ("Burnin' Love").

He visits schools, attends festivals, nature centers, and performs at a number of venues (including Waste Management) delivering his environmental message to anyone who will listen. Strangely enough, there are more of these guys, like Eco Elvis over in Kansas City.

According to Green E's website, the entertainer's show is perfect for any occasion. Just make those blue shoes are pleather, please.
