From Broadway to Bucks 1

  1. Annie get your green

    They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway ... good thing they'll soon be replaced by LEDs. Yep, the Great White Way is going green. Wicked!

  2. A penny for your thighs

    Flying these days is a weighty issue. But at least on Derrie-Air -- the "world's only carbon-neutral luxury airline" -- your conscience will be light as a feather. Unfortunately, your wallet will be too, after paying out the rear with those per-pound prices.

  3. What a dope

    Whether jailing "ecoterrorists" or tree-sitters, it seems The Man is always trying to keep environmentalists down. Like this guy in Iowa City, for instance, who was arrested for trying to compost some weeds. Consider his mellow officially harshed.

  4. Scent of a man

    What's the big stink about global warming? For Japanese housewives being urged to cut down on laundry loads, it smells something like dirty tube socks and tighty-whities. Hmm ... suds for them!

  5. We sure are appealing

    Sarah: Not as eco-friendly as originally thought -- but worth your money anyway.

    Derrie-Air is a hoax, folks!I love the April Fool's Day stuff Grist does, but I think that other posts should be real! :)
    From the Derrie-Air site:

    The Derrie-Air campaign is a fictitious advertising campaign created by Philadelphia Media Holdings to test the results of advertising in our print and online products and to stimulate discussion on a timely environmental topic of interest to all citizens. All names, identities, characters, persons, whether living or dead, companies, situations, offers, products, services, and other information appearing in this campaign and the associated website are fictitious. Any resemblance to real or fictitious names, identities, characters, persons, whether living or dead, companies, situations, offers, products, services, or other information, is purely coincidental and unintentional. In other words, smile, we're pulling your leg.
