Eco-Beat, 6/5
Is Jim Carrey a swine rights activist? Looking for advice on where to buy your eco-skivvies? Would you consider trading in your trusty smoker for a shiny new solar cooker? Today's Eco-Beat has the scoop on all the latest green news and tips.
Green in a Flash:
 Jim Carrey and Swine FluFunnyman gone vaccination activist Jim Carrey is one of the few people who could make us laugh at a borderline pandemic. During his acceptance speech at the MTV Movie Awards, he said: "There wouldn't be a swine flu if we treated the pigs better!" |
 The Naked Truth About Eco-UnmentionablesI'm just guessing here, but I bet that most of us are not comfortable with buying "pre-loved" underwear off the thrift store rack. So, that leaves organic undies. Check out Grist's guide to a reduced panty-print. |
 The WWF's New Green Tech HQWith geothermal heating, a roof made of solar panels, and an organic design that features built-in nests for birds and bats, I'd say the carbon-neutral WWF headquarters in the Netherlands is just about up to my standards. It'll do, as they say. |
 Hellmann's Launches Eat Local CampaignFollowing the trail blazed by Lay's potato chips, Hellmann's Canada is now advertising itself as "real," "local" food. As a longtime Hellmann's addict, even I think this idea is pretty lame. Is the xantham gum, colors added, and sodium benzoate all locally produced as well? |
 Cooking Goes Solar?Sure, propane may be a relatively clean way to "taste the meat, not the heat," as Hank Hill says. But, to take that philosophy a step further, you can't beat solar cooking. Solar grills are perfect for remote areas in the developing world, or a downtown condo balcony. |
