From Playboy to Pilsner

19 Oct 2007

Seeing Redford

The Sundance Kid bares all in Playboy this month (hello, Mr. October!), revealing the naked truth about his dirty fetish: racing fast cars, like his low-mpg Porsche. But you knew that already, right? Because you totally read Playboy for the articles.

Sims U Been Gone

More proof of the far-reaching effects of global warming: it's now destroying virtual worlds. Aw, poor pretend polar bears.

The lawnmower fan

Yeah, summer's officially over. But you best believe we'll be out at the first sign of spring sportin' an eco-lawnmower bike and wearing nothin' but these birdseed shoes.

Beam it down, Scotty

If space is the final frontier, solar power is hittin' the covered-wagon trail.

99 bottles of beer on your face

News about climate-related pilsner price hikes got you down? Put on these recycled-bottle beer goggles and the world will look a little rosier. Also, your coworkers will look hotter. We're not responsible for what happens next.

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

Beer bottle glasses-not safe

I have seen what a person's head looks like after being hit with a beer bottle or glass, and I would never, never wear glasses made of glass that is not safety glass and will break into large shards causing extensive injury and possible blindness if broken. Stick to the funny nose and mustache plastic glasses instead.

And yet, no jute!

Grist prides itself on green technology, yet it neglects the greenest of all: jute, the Golden Fiber.

Did you know that Jute, is the one fiber with its own Ministry:

Go Green (or Brown).

Get Jute.

End the use of C02 wasting artificial twine and baskets!
