Bauer beware

He's survived 20 months of torture in a Chinese prison, thwarted presidential assassination attempts, disarmed nuclear bombs, and saved Kiefer Sutherland's career. Did you doubt he'd eventually take on global warming? Clearly, you don't know Jack.

Bottled rage

We heard it through the grapevine that Brangelina may be purchasing an eco-friendly winery in Europe. Which should come in handy the next time they talk politics.

ADVERTISING POLICY

I used to be a cheating bastard

A remarkable British design company has launched a line of recycled products that proudly announce what they used to be. We only wish future boyfriends came so clearly marked.

Sisters act

Environmental activism may not be what you'd consider a convent-ional religious calling. But we're singing the praises of this sisterhood helping detox a Peruvian town and a former nun in the habit of creating a little heaven on earth.

The simpleton life

You know green has jumped the shark when Paris Hilton says she wants to "save our earth from all this, you know, pollution." But who will save our earth from all this, you know, vapid celebrity bandwagonry?

Paris Hilton & Ron Jeremy Go Green

Seen something weird, wacky, or wonderful in the environmental world? Think it deserves a place on The List?

Necessary Annoyances

While it's difficult to stomach some of these celebs on the Green Wagon, I have come to accept them as a needed means of delivering a message to an audience otherwise beyond reach.

I have two teens at home who delight in mocking my efforts to enlighten them but I guarantee you that they would listen to a celebrity. So if Paris or any other celebrity can reach ANY of these kids out there.....I say AMEN, sister. Have at 'em!

Dadddddddy! My Credit Card is Broke'd!

Let's see, add up the hotels, the jet flights, the mansions, the parties, and the booze and drugs, and it should take Paris about 205,934 years to work off her carbon debt.

Cheat Neutral

Regarding #3...

I though you'd mention this cheating offset program, I was sure I learned about it on Grist:
