  Leilani Munter. Stunt double? Check. Race car driver? Check. Biologist and conservation activist? Uh, OK. Munter doesn’t mess around when it comes to the environment: she hopes to educate racing’s 100 million racing fans about green living, serves as an ambassador for the National Wildlife Federation, has testified on Capitol Hill, and wants to convince her industry to use more alternative fuels. Says this CarbonFreeGirl: “Just because you’re green ... doesn’t mean you can’t be fast.”

  My first reaction to Leilani being included was "a race car driver?" but on second thought I think she is in the top three at least. For one she is being an environmentalist in her life and career which is hard for most people to do. Second, she has decided to fight for the environment from within the ranks which is generally more powerful than someone (a non-racer) trying to tell 100,000,000 viewers that what they are watching is a blight on the climate. Seriously, how many of you hikers, bikers, climbers, skiiers, etc. drive a lot of miles to take part in your activities anyway? Third, the woman is a stunt double...that's pretty tough. Fourth, she is the first person racing that may be the environmentalists way into car racing. If we want it to switch to electric or some other form in the future we should be sending her email to that effect and CC'ing NASCAR! Congrats to Leilani the badass environmentalist car racer:)

  I had three thoughts after reading this article and comments. 1. Sounds like a lot of folks are on the computer at work. 2. How can it be that a photo of a bra covering a womans breasts can be so shocking? I would not advocate walking around naked for a number of practical reasons but seriously people, we need to get over our body-phobia in the States. Kids are going to be scared of thier own bodies. and 3. I've never seen another site tackle this question so Go Grist!

  Very well written. Thank you for further testing some of the products I read about on EWG's site. I almost exclusively use the Jason products but definitely understand the "pale skin" drawback. Since I'm a very pale Irishman to begin with I look like a ghost:) On the other hand I feel good knowing I'm not dumping chemicals on my skin and I definitely like that I don't get sunburn despite spending 2/3 of every day in the southern California sun. I highly recommend Jason's!
