Eco-Beat, 7/8
Wanna hit the slopes at Bruce Willis' greener ski resort? Does anyone sit in a McDonald's long enough to charge their EV? Why should you hope that the Seattle Storm will be raining threes this season? Today's Eco-Beat has the scoop on all the latest green news and tips.
Green in a Flash:
 Bruce Willis to Build a Greener Ski ResortBruce Willis will soon be the proud owner of a ski resort that utilizes passive solar heating in central Idaho. Actually, he's owned the lodge on Soldier Mountain for some time, but it recently burned down, giving him the opportunity for a green redesign. Awesome! |
 Would You Like to Charge Your Vehicle With That?Chances are, if you're stopping in at the Golden Arches for a Big Mac, you're probably not on your way to chain yourself to an old growth tree. Still, in North Carolina, you can now charge your EV while you sit and enjoy your bucket-sized cola. |
 Seattle Storm Plant A Tree for Every ThreeEven if Seattle's your team's arch rival in the WNBA, you can still cheer when they hit a three-pointer. That's because they've teamed up with a local Subaru dealership that will plant a tree in a nearby forest for every three the Storm drain this season. |
 The Ghost of School Lunches Yet to ComeWho doesn't have nightmares filled with school lunches from their childhood? Am I the only one? Anyway, the school lunch entrees of the future may be even more unnatural (ribless rib sandwiches?) than the those of the past. If you love your child, please, brown bag it. |
 MJ Doesn't Go With Eco-CasketWhile it'd be nice to see a more eco-friendly choice (like maybe the coffin table), the King of Pop was laid to rest in solid bronze, 14-carat gold-plated casket. For all the energy and emissions invested in taking that metal out of the ground, it seems weird to put it right back in. |
- Six Flags theme parks are going green.
- Not to be outdone by Mickey D's, Burger King will install energy-harvesting speed bumps.
- Would the climate bill go down a little easier with a heaping spoonful of nuclear power?
