Green in a Flash:
 Matt Damon Parades for Clean WaterOK, he didn't actually go on a literal parade, but I'm sure he would if he thought it would bring clean water to Africa. Matt did, however, write this article for "Parade" to raise awareness for clean water efforts. Says Damon, "$25 will give someone clean water for life." |
 Wanna Network with Alicia Silverstone?Alicia's new website will not only offer up her "groovy finds" in the way of fashion, skincare and general greenness -- you'll actually get to share some of your expert advice with Alicia on TheKindLife.com's social networking "interactive extension." |
 Are Superfoods Really All They're Cooked Up to Be?So you've heard about the amazing properties of so-called "superfoods" like açai and goji, but what are the true costs of shipping these miracle foods thousands of miles from remote forests to your kitchen? Check out Treehugger's assessment. |
 Farm-Fresh Vending MachinesGet ready to take everything you know about vending machines and toss it out the window. A German company has teamed up with farmers to offer locally produced eggs, cheese, butter, sausage, etc. in vending machines. Prices stay low by cutting out the middleman. Awesome. |
 Warner Bros Studios Go GreenIf you've ever toyed around with the idea of making a movie, you can begin to imagine the mind-numbing logistics that go into even a "low-budget" flick. Warner Bros is enlisting everyone at the studio to attack its footprint, from the producers to the actors. |
