Eco-Beat, 7/22
What's Jerry Stiller have against Sea World? Are you an excessive toilet flusher? Wanna catch a screening of the hot new documentary "Food Inc." for free? Today's Eco-Beat has the scoop on all the latest green news and tips.
Green in a Flash:
 Jerry Stiller Not a Fan of Marine ParksAfter watching the shocking marine documentary "The Cove," Jerry Stiller equates Shamu and other performing sea animals with prisoners of war, forced to perform Hamlet -- kinda like Ben Stiller's character in "Tropic Thunder," forced to perform "Simple Jack" for his captors. |
 How To Flush Less and Save MoreAside from practicing the "mellow yellow" rule, there are tons of way to reduce your potty-print, and none of them involve a cat sticking its paw in the toilet (I just liked the photo). An average family flushes 1,500 gallons of water every month, cutting that by 1/3 is a cinch. |
 Sustainable Iceberg Hotel in Dubai?To complement the scorching desert city's indoor ski mountain and other eco-atrocities, Dubai developers are planning a "sustainable" iceberg hotel. If there are four words that don't go together, they are: sustainable, iceberg, hotel, and Dubai ... yet there they are. |
 Chipotle Promotes "Food Inc."Thanks to the environmentally-aware burrito pushers at Chipotle, you might be able to experience the sustainable agriculture wisdom of "Food Inc." without paying for a ticket. Chipotle is sponsoring free screenings in 32 cities, so keep your eyes peeled. |
 New Yorkers Beware!If you or your pets make a habit of befriending the raccoons that frequent your dumpster, you're going to wanna cut that out. Health Department officials have discovered what may be a rabies outbreak in NYC. All skunks, bats, stray dogs and cats are suspects. |
- Japanese moms fight for their right to tote the kids on two wheels.
- Toyota's 18-foot solar flowers may be coming to a sidewalk near you.
- Are these people-powered monorails the future of urban transportation?
