Eco-Beat, 10/30

Green in a Flash:
 Captain Watson Responds to South Park As usual, South Park's "Whale Whores" episode was an equal opportunity offender, lampooning both the Japanese whalers, animal rights activists and especially Paul Watson. He was a good sport about it though, saying that he's just glad to get some publicity. |
 Reduce Your Family's Halloween-Print Halloween is finally upon us, and of course I'm going to load this EB up with as much green trick or treating tips as I possibly can. To check out a smorgasbord of green Halloween tips -- including healthy treats, non-treats, and DIY costume ideas -- check out Inhabitat. |
 Greener Mischief MakingWatching Rainn Wilson's guide to Mischief Night, I realized something: vandalism can be mighty wasteful. For a greener Mischief Night, skip the TP and try some eco-friendly tricks, like: ding dong ditching or jumping out of the bushes to scare people. Any other ideas? |
 Eat Your Pumpkin!The majority of the orange pumpkins we associate with Halloween are bred purely for ornamental purposes, thus, they're far from ideal for cooking. Bummer. Buy a food-grade pumpkin or butternut squash that allows you to have your jack-o-lantern and eat it too. |
 Natalie Portman's Controversial Veggie CommentIn honor of "Vegetarian Month," Natalie decided to throw in her two cents on ethical eating. Unfortunately, she managed to offend non-veggies by equating meat-eating and table manners with rape ... somehow. I'm a big fan of table manners, thank you very much. |
