Eco-Beat, 4/13
The nation's "first dog" has been selected, polar bears and humans don't mix, and Kanye's launching a green beverage. Today's Eco-Beat has got the scoop on all sorts of awesome green news.
Green in a Flash:
 Obamas Disappoint with Kennel PuppyMost animal activists were expecting the Obamas to pick out a rescue puppy for the "first dog." Instead, it looks like they've decided not to recycle. Are you feeling betrayed right now, or are you OK with dogs from breeders? |
 Woman Bitten by Polar Bear at Berlin ZooYet another great example of why not to jump into a polar bear enclosure. Police haven't revealed why the woman thought it was a good idea to jump in. FYI, it was an older, grumpier bear -- not Knut. |
 Kanye: The Guru of Organic Energy Drinks?We knew Kanye had a flair for hip-hop, fashion, and moody blogging -- but did you know he was an energy drink connoisseur? He's teaming up with GURU to release his own line of natural, organic energy drinks. Get ready to guzzle some "Clean Energy for Dirty Minds." |
 Eco-Tourism Takes Off With the Airplane HotelWanna get away from it all in your own private jet? Book a night in the Airplane Hotel, near Quepos, Costa Rica. This awesome hotel (looks more like a B&B) was built in the fuselage of a retired 1965 Boeing 727 -- no need for carbon offsets. |
 America's Shrinking WeedprintAlong with a rising interest in gardening across the board, many in the cannabis industry are switching to homegrown pot rather than importing it from Mexico. Does that mean the locavore movement has spread into the drug culture? |
- The Obama administration is going to buy 17,600 of the most fuel-efficient cars from the Big 3.
- Today's container ships are now traveling slower than yesteryear's sailing freighters to save gas money. Hmm.
- Watch Woody Harrelson talking about the end of the world as part of the hype-building for his upcoming flick 2012.
