Eco-Beat, 11/13
Which horribly offensive cartoon show's creators like to relax at their sustainably-built vacation palace? Wanna eat your pudding and your meat and still save the planet? Already wondering how you're going to tackle this year's Thanksgiving leftovers? Today's Eco-Beat has the scoop on all the latest green news and tips.
Green in a Flash:
 South Park Creators' Green RetreatWhen they're not harpooning Paul Watson in the head or defiling what you hold sacred, Matt and Trey like to get away to their sustainably-built vacation mansion in Steamboat Springs. Built with reclaimed timbers, it's pretty green ... for a vacation mega-mansion. |
 30 Rock: Return of the GoreI have it on good authority that next Thursday's episode of "30 Rock" will feature a cameo from the creator of the internet himself -- Albert Gore. Once again, Al will play himself in an episode where he helps Kenneth make a 5% reduction in "TGS" staff's carbon footprint. |
 Good News, You Don't Have to go Vegan Anymore!You can't have any pudding if you don't eat your meat. But if you eat your meat, global warming will kill us all. It's a serious conundrum and, thankfully, now we don't have to worry about it. A Friends of the Earth report says we can have it all, provided we ditch factory farming. |
 UK Ponders Individual Carbon AllowancesAccording to UK politician Lord Smith, individual carbon allowances are the best way to curb global warming. Much like a bank account, you'd get an allowance each month and would pay "overdraft" fees when your account goes below zero. |
 Turkey Day Tip: Save Your Takeout ContainersNo matter how well you calculate your Thanksgiving food-print, you're always going to have some leftovers. So, to help disperse these amongst your brethren, wash and reuse old takeout containers you took home from that new Thai place down the street. |
