Eco-Beat, 7/24
Need to relax at a new celebrity-endorsed eco-spa? How does looking at boobs help PETA fight animal testing? Would you rather get a living plant or cut flowers? Today's Eco-Beat has the scoop on all the latest green news and tips.
Green in a Flash:
 Construction Underway on Brando's Eco-ResortYou're one step closer to getting that hot stone massage at the eco-friendly resort that Marlon Brando envisioned many moons ago. Located in the French Polynesian atoll of Tetiaroa, "The Brando" will be loaded with innovative features like a sea water air-conditioning system. |
 PETA Unleashes Addictive Online Boob GameDoing their part to educate the public on the difference between lab animals and human breasts (who doesn't need that?), they've created a game to help you waste time at work. The message is a teeny bit muddled, but there are plenty of boobs to make up for that. |
 Give Potted Plants Not FlowersWhen you want to present a friend/date/etc. with a leafy gift, avoid cut flowers and go for something living. Not only will this reduce your dating-print, but your gift will last a lot longer, usually. I recommend something very east to take care of, like a cactus, but that's just me. |
 Protecting Your Plants NaturallyNow that you received a nice houseplant from your friend/date/etc., what's the greenest way to make sure ants don't munch it to death? Spreading coffee grounds, egg shells and cayenne pepper around the base of your plant will both fertilize and deter pesky insects. |
 Ranting to Stop Alcohol Wastage at PartiesHow many thousands of gallons of beer and liquor are wasted each year because people set down their drinks and forget about them. Come on people, it took lots of energy to produce that martini, let's all try to remember where our drinks are before we go pour another one. |
- GM may try to sell the Volt on eBay. Seriously.
- It's hard to build wind turbines at really windy locations, go figure.
