Eco-Beat, 9/3
Is Brad Pitt going to give up acting to be a sustainable architect? Why are Michael Jackson's tigers in danger? Wanna ditch the chemicals for an eco-friendly pool cleaner? Today's Eco-Beat has the scoop on all the latest green news and tips.
Green in a Flash:
 Brad Pitt Supports Sustainable Building in SpainOnce again showing his enthusiasm for sustainable architecture, Brad Pitt made a quick trip out to Aviles, Spain, to study the eco-aspects of the new Oscar Niemeyer International Cultural Center. Planners hope it will rival Bilbao's Guggenheim when it's complete. |
 Michael Jackson's Tigers Threatened with Extinction... But not from poaching or a lack of prey species. The leaders of the Shambala Preserve (where MJ's tigers now reside) are ignoring a mandatory evacuation order from LA fire officials. Would you wanna load 100 wild animals, including big cats, into pet carriers? |
 Eco-Friendly Pool CleaningIn one foreclosure-ravaged town in Florida, code enforcers have ditched the chemicals and started using a much cheaper and greener option to treat abandoned pools: Live catfish. At about 10% of the cost of chemicals, these pools are sanitary once again. |
 Sustainable Computing is BeautifulFor those of us who place a premium on both aesthetics and sustainability, the options out there limited, but growing. If you're like me and you stare at a computer all day, you might consider beautifying your workspace with an eco-chic bamboo laptop stand and mouse. |
 The Making of the Prius Harmony CommercialI agree, the new Prius commercial is really awesome ... the flowers, the choreography, the music, it's all very, uh ... harmonious. But are the spots so wonderful, in fact, that we actually want to watch behind the scenes video footage about how they were made? Apparently we do. |
