The Ghostface of Earth Day present
Want to celebrate Earth Day, but don't wanna roll wit dem punk-ass bitchez? Stop by NYC's Green Apple Music and Arts Festival and catch a set by Ghostface Killah, who shared these words of wisdom about the importance of conscientious environmental stewardship: "I don't know nothing about that." Word, Killah.

Want to celebrate Earth Day, but think Ghostface fell the f*ck off after Supreme Clientele? Stop by a Spitzer 2006 Earth Day House Party in New York and enjoy the dope rhymes of MC Spitz, who's been bustin' caps in pollutocrat asses since you was li'l.

As a matter of general principle, The Grist List deplores any activity that requires man-tights. If God had intended that kind of display he would have put Adam in a banana hammock, not a leaf. But a ballet choreographed by the earth via a seismometer? That we'll watch. From the waist up.

Scooterin'! What's your price for flight?
The list of activities cooler than riding a Vespa through the streets of Milan is very, very short. One of the few that makes the cut: riding a hybrid Vespa through the streets of Milan. With an Italian hottie riding bitch. Heading to a cute little sidewalk cafe. To eat gelato and drink espresso. Damn, we need a vacation.
Seen something weird, wacky, or wonderful in the environmental world? Think it deserves a place on The List?
