Eco-Beat, 1/5
Why is Emile Hirsch climbing a mountain with Jessica Biel? Why is Overstock.com no longer the place to buy ostrich skin boots? Is a bean-rich diet worse for the planet than a beef-rich diet? Today's Eco-Beat has the scoop on all the latest green news and tips.
Green in a Flash:
 Emile Hirsch Join's Jessica Biel's Kilimanjaro Trek Emile will take JT's place and join Jessica Biel, Lupe Fiasco, Kenna and Elizabeth Gore on a 50-mile hike to the peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro in order to raise money for clean water in the developing world. Can't make the hike? You can still sponsor a foot of the climb. |

 Cate Blanchett and Her Theatre Co. Go GreenIn her latest role, Cate stars along side her husband Andrew Upton in a real life quest to make the Sydney Theatre Company the greenest in the business. They've announced plans to put a 500MW solar array (the largest rooftop array in Australia) on the theater. |
 Will the Musical Fruit Compose Earth's Swan Song?Imagine this scenario: Billions of people across the world go vegetarian and increase their consumption of indigestible carbs (particularly beans) and it offset the atmospheric benefits by substantially increasing their lifecycle fart emissions. Sure, it's ridiculous, but funny. |
