From Smoke to Sass 1

  1. Smokin’ hot

    Does this dress make my butt look recycled?

  2. Here’s the scoop

    Can we rename an old Ben & Jerry’s flavor to honor a new president? Yes Pecan!

  3. The full Vermonty

    At the Miss America Pageant later this month, Miss Vermont will walk the stage in an eco-friendly hemp gown. And perhaps Miss Texas will carry a beef jerky purse.

  4. Stick a cork in it

    Make a miniature chair using just the corks, foil, and cages from two champagne bottles and you can enter this contest. Winners receive a person-size chair made from recycled materials—but everyone gets to drink two bottles of bubbly!

  5. Norway or the highway

    We’re not mad; we’re just very, very disappointed that these Norwegian eco-darlings don’t have American counterparts.

    Green Business Cards

    Those Norwegian kids are fantastic.  American agents needed indeed...  

    Speaking of recycling, over at EcoMingler, we're trying to declutter the office by turning the detritus into green business cards:
