 Emma Watson's Green Fashion LineThe 19-year-old Harry Potter superstar is designing a 100% organic, Fairtrade clothing line with People Tree named "Love from Emma." Targeted at socially-conscious teens (or socially-conscious parents), proceeds from Emma's line will benefit UNICEF. |
 Rush Limbaugh Takes the Green Car Challenge The always controversial (and not particularly green) talk show host will get behind the wheel of the all-electric Ford Focus on Thursday night. Will he set a new course record? Or will he intentionally run over the Al Gore and Ed Begley obstacles and wreck the prototype? |
