Whether you're looking for a celebrity charity auction to plant trees, a way to reuse a toilet plunger, or updates on the Pet Shop Boys ... today's Eco-Beat has got the scoop on all sorts of awesome green news.

Should The Pet Shop Boys Change their Name?
PETA Europe has asked The Pet Shop Boys to change their name to The Rescue Shelter Boys. This is the funniest idea PETA's had in a while! For obvious reasons, the legendary UK duo has declined (check out their response).

Toilet Plungers Make Cool Lamp Shades
Who'd a thunk it? They actually look really very modern. I recommend a very strong -- yet eco-friendly -- disinfectant for this upcycling project.

Want to Plant Trees and Score a Celebrity Autographed Eco-Bag?
Until April 22 (Earth Day), you can bid on a stylin' Sakroots weekender eco-friendly bag signed by Jessica Alba, Alec Baldwin, Rosie Perez and more. For each dollar donated, the Nature Conservancy plants a tree!

World's First Wind-Powered Movie Theater
It's a drive-in, so they don't have to worry about heating or A/C. Still, how awesome is that? Will they show An Inconvenient Truth on repeat? Green tip: don't idle your car during the movie, it's rude.

Obama Administration May Tweak Earth's Thermostat
The Obama administration is considering a backup climate change plan to shoot a cloud of reflective particles into the atmosphere to cool the planet. Let's hope it doesn't come to that ... it may affect our ability to tan poolside.

Green in a Flash:

Celebs are raving about Lavera's green tanning goo .
Sears is offering Earth Day home energy audits for $99 (usually $550).
Jay Leno got to drive a Volt test vehicle, and he liked it.

I am reeling from this proposed climate change fix. It sounds like a last resort to me, but oh what a last resort it is! Would something like this be able to compensate for all the damage we do to our environment on a daily basis?
