For Bernardo Issel
The annual magazine industry show Folio is hosting a recycled paper panel in New York Monday September 24 ~ 2h30 to 3h45 ~ at the Marriot Marquis, with Frank Locantore of the Magazine Paper Project and Robert Brai of Integrated Media Cooperative. General public admission is $12.
Aveda funded the additional cost of 10% recycled stock in June 2006's ELLE green edition... but I don't think they repeated the effort this year. Both Conde Nast and Hachette/Filipacchi are Johnny Come Latety to walking the talk.
Now that the Magazine Paper Project has successfully switched over such illustrious publications at National Geographic to recycled stock, these entrenched fashion publishing houses have no excuse for not switching printers... because you see, that's the real issue... the old printers can't switch to recycled and veggie-inks... they can't retool. A title needs to change printers to get the same, if not superior printing quality for a recycled paper switch. it's about the old buddy system and Union issues.
Join us on the 24th, we expect a large turn-out this year... if only because Paris Hilton is now the face of ForestEthics, thanks to EcoRazzi! If you're in New York, concerned that International Paper wants to clear cut Siberia so we can keep reading ELLE and VOGUE, then please show up!

well my dear sum, since the only way you will communicate these days is through public forums, i got the riverkeeper fundraising bit from your own blog: "From June 30 through July 31st, Project GreenHouse will host 4 weekends of intimate, high-profile benefit dinners and special events with celebrity hosts to help raise funds for environmental charities including the Riverkeeper, The Rainforest Foundation, Charity." the chasm is of your own making... for not standing by a friend when he needed your support on an issue very important to him and to the people of new york... i didn't know seth sold 50% of ETS to a company working with the utilities, which is why he can't say anything about nuclear power... so as not to upset his fragile boat... so now you're in the same boat, for a few dollars more... so instead of coming back fighting when Green Nuclear Butterfly left the door wide open for you to come back swinging, you take offense like a spoiled child, retrench to save your little percentage... a deal you and seth did behind my back, while he was refusing to pay me... this after i went to bat for you at E! that's foul. jumping over my shoulder to set up that vanity fair shoot with our friends at tango... when this could/should have been an electrifying times co-production... that's foul... it's just all too convenient...you hurt me sum... how many others have you done the same thing to? what's this bs about "us young people"... it's about you becoming a heartless long tooth business shark! you're patrick mcmullan's new it green girl of the moment... we need you to help us shut down indian point. take the message to the sustainable fashion industry... an industry we grew together... THAT's what this is all about... and you chickened out. remind me again why we worked so hard together for so many years... was it for you to drop the ball when the quarter back throws it to you from the infield? because you think it might hurt your precious career? you're stopping short of being the environmental hero you're painting yourself out to be, and you're blaming royce and i for pointing the emperor's no clothes! wake up! the job's not over... or you're going to miss out on the best part, the grand finale... for what? to play it safe? how boring!

Shame you didn't bother to take the time to address the Green Nuclear Butterfly blog story concerning your links to pro-nuclear business partners with the same care and attention you awarded this Swiss publication, all the while raising money for Riverkeeper at a posh East Hampton function, making sure anti-nuclear organizations "really" trying to shut down Indian Point were not invited!

On When journalists go too far posted 2 years, 4 months ago 9 ResponsesHello Ms. Green Jeans...
Rumor has it the first Levi's Jeans, at the turn of the last century, were in fact made from 100% hemp cloth... But ever since the ban on hemp agriculture in 1937 prior to WW2, a conspiracy orchestrated by Hearst & DuPont, Levi's has denied this. It would be interesting to find old Levi's in a jeans museum, to test the fibers, just to see. Support the right of Native Americans to grow hemp on their own lands. Let's give them the opportunity to fix the mess DC and the Feds have made. This is not just about fashion and technology, the real hurdles, my dear, are political! Where's Robert Kennedy Jr. when you need him? Making $25,000 a speech, 200 of them a year... and yet, the Indian Point nuclear power plant issue at Riverkeeper is the least funded office... this because Entergy contributes lavishly to the organization... How all this ties in to green jeans? hmmmm.... You tell us Summer!

Soon the whole world will be split in two, the pro-nuclear camp, and the anti-nuclear camp, and they will, they already are, rival for supremacy, the rule and future of this planet. The old world view is pro-nuclear, the old world, the old families of Greenwich and Darien, the Federal Bank Reserve... The new worldview is the It billionaires, TED, World Changing, Arnold pumping Tesla Motors... There is a clash of Titans here... and Indian Point, is stuck right smack in the middle... Just like God intended.

Any discussion of boostin' energy efficiency, without in the same breath, mentioning the desperate need to terminate nuclear power generation, in this country, and elsewhere around the world, is doomed to failure from the get go... because as the oil companies no sooner than solar became viable bought into all the photovoltaic companies to control them, today, the nuclear industry is doing the same thing with wind power companies, one by one, buying them, so as to make sure, wind farms are not installed "instead" of nuclear power, but rather in addition to, in essence, castrating the very soul, the very reason why we went into the development of these alternative fuel industries in the first place, or do you not remember, you so young, that the reason there is a solar and a wind industry today, was in reaction to the anti-nuclear movement of the 60's 70's. NOTHING has changed... it's in fact only gotten worse and more precarious.

Thanks for all your comments.
Dear caniscandida,
Read Culture of Ecology: Reconciling Economics And Environment (Hardcover) by Robert E. Babe. If you mouse over the main banner picture on The Box 66 website, the photo underneath has a cover of the book, revealing how the Moai is quickly becoming a symbol for the whole of the environmental movement, for the very reason you described. Thanks for your comments, they're all great! And yes, it's always about slaying the dragon for the girl!RemyC.
