Eco-Beat, 7/27
What's it like in Nicole Richie's green nursery? Can a piece of UV-blocking film really lower my A/C bill? Who would win in a fight, Captain Planet or Gisele Bündchen? Today's Eco-Beat has the scoop on all the latest green news and tips.
Green in a Flash:
 Nicole Richie Goes Green in the NurseryNicole Richie is supposedly working through her pre-childbirth anxiety by obsessing over her new nursery. Every last detail is organic and sustainable from the paint to the cotton in the sheets. If you're going to go all-out on something, it might as well be your baby. |

Installing a low-E (low emissivity) film to your windows can block a ton of heat from either entering or exiting through your window pane (sorry, it doesn't patch your leaks), depending on which side you put the film. |
 Gisele is an Eco-SuperheroMove over Captain Planet, there's a new earth-friendly cartoon superhero in town and she's way hotter. Gisele Bündchen is set to star in an animated series called "Gigi & The Green Team," about a supermodel by day, eco-superhero by night. |
 An Insidious Plot to Kill the Electric Car (Again)AutoblogGreen uncovered this disturbing music video (apparently written for children?), designed to brainwash impressionable minds that the age of electric cars will be accompanied by horrible, monotonous music. It's like the antithesis of the Beach Boys' "Fun, Fun, Fun." |
 Cash for Clunkers CalculatorThinking you might like to take advantage of the $4,500 cash for clunkers voucher, but you're still on the fence? The Sierra Club has put together a calculator to show how much you can save in terms of gas, CO2, and last but not least, cash. |
- Antibiotic-resistant salmonella burgers, anyone?
