With the amount of everything but the kitchen sink that legendary rockers Kiss put into the atmosphere, it's slightly ironic that they would be be involved in a PSA for the environment. Man, that Kiss -- always keeping the fans guessing.

The above video, all nine seconds of it, is part of a campaign by Planet Green called "Pass it On" in which people you may or may not have heard of share a tidbit with us, the masses, on what we can do to help the environment during the course of our daily non-celebrity lives.

Not all of Kiss is in the video. The ad features the Spaceman Ace Frehley Tommy Thayer and some words of wisdom that aren't, but should be "rock and roll all night and recycle every day." Seriously, if Kiss uses that I'll be rich (and then I'll be making videos for you, the masses).

Ours is a culture of celebrity so it's nice to see them getting involved, even for 9 seconds at a time. Thank you! Goodnight!

GustOrganics - Organic Bar and RestaurantWhen Willie Nelson sang that the "nightlife ain't no good life" he obviously was unfamiliar with GustOrganics (another theory being that the song was written decades before GustOrganics was conceived -- we may never know for sure).

As Chris mentioned back in November, GustOrganics is the first organic-certified bar in America (and possibly the world!). It is also the only restaurant to be certified organic in New York, which is a bit surprising.

GustOrganics, according to Trend Hunter, only uses food that has been sourced locally, "supports fair trade practices and is certified by the Green Restaurant Association." That's the food stuff.

In the bar they "use only organic spirits, mixers, fruit, cocktails, beer, wine, and liquor."

That means that you most likely won't find your favorite brands there, but you'll find some darn good stuff -- and you may regret it less the next morning. The nightlife just became the good life.

Willie Nelson may have to change his lyrics.

Timberland has a pretty funny ad (above) for their new line of shoe called Earthkeepers. Obviously the Earth is a fan, but what, exactly, is it that makes the shoes environmentally sound?

According to Timberland: "Earthkeepers is a line of premium Timberland footwear and apparel product that reflects our commitment to "Make it better." Beginning in 2008 Timberland product with the Earthkeepers label must meet design criteria around recycled, organic and renewable material content, solvent-free adhesives and reduced climate impact."

When Santa Turned GreenWhen Santa Turned Green is a children's book by Victoria Perla. That's not to suggest it is just for children. That would be selling Perla and Santa short. This is a book for everyone.

The book is about Santa and the consequences of global warming on the North Pole and what that means for Christmas as we know it. I think you can guess where this is going.

The book is illustrated by Mirna Kantarevic and has inspired a collection of earth-friendly toys from its drawings.

Gallery: When Santa Turned Green



Yes, it's Christmas Eve and unless there is an FAO Shwarz on your block it may be too late for Santa to turn green for you by tomorrow morning. However, let's not forget that the North Pole didn't go green in one night. This book will keep Christmas in your heart the whole year round.

Green Eco-friendly T-shirts make great gifts!The holidays are upon us! It's true! Are you wondering what to get that well-dressed, fun-loving environmentalist on your gift list, the one that has everything (albeit, a simplified everything in a sustainable, eco-friendly sort of way)?

How about a Green Eco t-shirt from T-ShirtOutlet.com ? It's fun and practical and kills two birds with one stone (figure of speech, no birds were hurt in the writing of this post). A t-shirt keeps them clothed and safe from the elements, helps to avoid public humiliation, and it promotes a message they (and hopefully you) can believe in. How's that for smart gift giving?

Gallery: Green Eco T-shirts



The good people at T-ShirtOut.com have a bit of everything for everyone, but their line of green tees, printed on shirts from the American Apparel Sustainable Edition, are 100% USDA certified organic cotton which makes them right up our proverbial alley- the holiday one.

In a recent issue of Newsweek the magazine released some very interesting and insightful information from the presidential campaigns of both John McCain and Barack Obama, respectively. This newly released information was a collection of quotes and situations that Newsweek was privy to, but agreed not to publish until after the election.

In relation to Green Daily the most relevant quote came from Barack Obama regarding his views on solving global warming:

California had an interesting day at the ballots last week. They elected Barack Obama, that was a given, but it is the propositions that are generating the local (and national) talk.

Altering the constitution to outlaw same-sex marriages, Prop 8 is getting all of the headlines, and like a nasty kidney stone it is not passing quietly. It burns.

Prop 2, however, passed quickly and quietly. It was the issue regarding the treatment of animals raised for market and food production.

Typically Beaujolais Nouveau wines are released the Thursday prior to Thanksgiving, which means many bottles of the fruity French vino can be found scattered around the turkey covered and pie-laden countertops of whatever house I happen to be dining in.

This year the red wine is going green, thanks to Boisset and Georges Duboeuf.

First, a quick study: Beaujolais Nouveau is a fairly light red wine created from Gamay grapes. As you may have guessed, it is from the Beaujolais region of France.

Pierce Brosnan and his wife Keely will be inducted into the Environmental Hall of Fame on November 20th.

The Brosnans have contributed over $1,000,000,000 to a wide variety of environmental causes, which doesn't necessarily make them better than us, just richer (and a tad prettier).

When Brosnan accepts whatever carbonless accolades they give him I hope he remembers those of us that made such large donations possible - the fans. I used to love "Remington Steele," enjoyed his Bond work and have a copy of The Thomas Crown Affair and the soundtrack.

I do believe in fairies. I do. I do.

Everyone's favorite pixie (all apologies to Frank Black) has joined forces with the U.S. Department of Energy to encourage kids (of all ages) to use energy with more efficiency.

Tinker Bell and her friends from Pixie Hollow are one with the planet and as such green is a way of life. Of course Tink's time in Pixie Hollow was over years ago and her current digs at Disneyland tend to use a bit more electricity than a meadow of grass and toadstools, but we believe that her heart is in the right place.

If you have kids (or too much free time) then check out this site for more info and interactive fun.

Organic vodka is a good thing, let's just open with that on the table, or bar as the case may be.

Modern Spirits, known for their award-winning artisan vodkas (flavors include Black Truffle, Celery Peppercorn and Candied Ginger- I know, it's awesome) has introduced the first and only American spirit that is truly sustainable, Tru Organic Vodka.

From the press release, Tru is "made from 100% organic American wheat and infused with organic, natural ingredients. The packaging is made from completely recycled materials and the bottles are 25% more lightweight than other spirits bottles for greener shipping."

While Modern Spirits doesn't make the claim, there has been research conducted in my kitchen that suggests organic alcoholic beverages tend to result in a milder hangover- not that we endorse drinking to excess. Again.

Tru takes their eco-friendly mission seriously, and in addition to the steps described above they add one great, big leap. In partnership with Sustainable Harvest International they plant a tree for every bottle sold. Yes, every bottle.

Buy a forest, but drink responsibly.
