Eco-Beat, 7/16
Which celebrities have the most eco-fabulous homes? Is your freedom to dry clothes under attack? Do you have a "dog is my co-pilot" bumper sticker? Today's Eco-Beat has the scoop on all the latest green news and tips.
Green in a Flash:
 Top 7 Celebrity Eco-CribsJohnny Depp's private island in the Caribbean took top honors in Treehugger's list of Fabulously Green Celebrity Homes. Lovingly named F*** Off Island, there's no doubt that this 35-acre, solar-hydrogen powered bungalow is fabulous, but the commute's gotta suck. |
 Radiohead Hawks Eco-ThreadsNext time you roll up to the merch booth at a Radiohead concert, you'll find more than just overpriced t-shirts with tour dates plastered all over. The eco-centric rockers are now offering raincoats and (gasp) unbranded t-shirts made of recycled plastic bottles. |
 The Right to Keep and Bear ClotheslinesA bill protecting your right to clotheslines was shot down in North Carolina this week. The would-be law set out to ban the kinds of restrictive HOA covenants that prevent the unsightly outdoor drying of your fabulous threads. FYI, there is such thing as an indoor drying rack. |
 Pet-Only Airline Takes OffTwo entrepreneurial pet lovers have crafted a brand new assault on the upper atmosphere: an all-pet airline. Not satisfied with the major airlines' pet accommodations? Now your pet can have its own carbon footprint! Pet Airways will fly between five major US cities. |
 Hitting the Trail LightlyNeed a new pair o' running shoes? If you can stomach the McDonald's motif, Brooks has designed a pair of sustainable sneaks called the Green Silence. These eco-trainers boast recycled rubber soles, soy-based dyes, and laces made of recycled water bottles. |
- A brothel in Berlin is offering a biker discount.
- The first utility-scale hydrogen power plant is destined for New Mexico.
- Vancouver's über-sustainable Olympic village has hit a major funding snag.
