Green in a Flash:
 Woody Harrelson Greens up ZombielandIf you're a horror movie buff, you're probably excited about Woody's new flick "Zombieland." Well, here's a reason to get even more excited.

 A New Source for Eco-FashionistasLooking for a place to get news about green fashion and green fashion only? Green guru Jill Fehrenbacher has launched a new website called Ecouturre, dedicated to going beyond organic tees and delving into green designers. Not that there's anything wrong with t-shirts. |
 Want a Cheaper Electric Car? Lose a WheelMyers Motors has released images of its newer, sleeker NMG (No More Gas) this week. Aside from the fact that it's only got three wheels, it actually looks pretty stylish. Not only that, but it's got a top speed of 75mph and a 60-mile range for under $30,000. |
 Will Canned Tuna Put Me in Box?We know that tuna and most other long-living fish come with a free bonus gift in every can: Mercury. So just how much mercury does your delicious tuna melt contain? How much can I safely eat? The answer to both questions: Nobody knows. Sardines, anyone? |
 A Guide to Sustainable Wood Furniture So, is wood a renewable resource or not? Yes, wood can be a sustainable option as long as it's not an old-growth hardwood cut from a endangered forest. Best case scenario: Buy high quality solid wood furniture secondhand. If your buying new, ask about the sourcing. |
