I heart T. Yorke Video of Radiohead's green performance on Conan	Sarah van Schagen	28 Apr 2008	Gristmill
Rather than take a transatlantic flight (the carbon footprint equivalent of driving for a whole year), Radiohead recorded a live performance in London for their 'appearance' on Late Night with Conan O'Brien last week. They played 'House of Cards,' a song with the refrain 'denial, denial' -- and dedicated it to 'that twat who walked away from the Kyoto agreement.' Heart! Here's the video:

In the midst of preparing for the launch of 250 hours of green programming for Discovery Planet Green, I got a call from my good friend Pete Griffin over at Think MTV. 'We have this idea to build a green house on the Real World,' he told me. 'Instead of creating a whole new green show, why not build it into one of the most watched programs on MTV?' Can anyone say brilliant? Well, we had a blast teaching the Hollywood cast a few things about saltwater poo ...

Kate Hudson's no fool ... her new haircare line, David Babaii For Wildaid, is free of sulfates, parabens, and animal products. The products were tested on Kate, not on animals -- and proceeds will benefit Wildaid, a wildlife conservation org. So jealous that she gets to hang out with these guys!

Green issues galore Paper mags go green(ish) for one month	Sarah van Schagen	01 Apr 2008	Gristmill
The third annual 'Green Issue' of Vanity Fair has arrived: Although Madonna graces the cover, the story inside makes no mention of greenness ... including her 'eco-song' and headlining gig last summer at Live Earth. Altogether an interesting choice for the 'green issue,' though I applaud the absence of sweater belts. The cover promises other stories of a greener hue, including:'A Letter to the Next President' by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (perhaps an invitation to se ...

Al Gore's got some big bucks Thoughts on the newly announced 'we' campaign	Jon Rynn	01 Apr 2008	Gristmill
So Al Gore announced a $300 million 3-year effort 'aimed at mobilizing Americans to push for aggressive reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.' My question is, wouldn't it be better to spend that money on building grassroots organizations pushing for climate change legislation instead of spending it mostly, I presume, on advertising? If $100 million was spent each year on grassroots organizations in 30 major cities, that would work out to $3 million per each major metr ...

If you read Juliet Eilperin's great rundown in the Washington Post, you know that today marks the launch of a massive PR effort from Al Gore's Alliance for Climate Protection.

"The simple algorithm is this: It's important to change the light bulbs, but it's much more important to change the laws," he said. "The options available to ...

Tina Fey: 'Bitch is the new black'	David Roberts	01 Mar 2008	Gristmill
If you watch to the end of this, you'll find a spirited defense of Hillary Clinton.

I'm glad Tina Fey (who I worship) helped me balance the scales. Now, somebody send me a decent McCain video and I'll post it! Here's Fey:

Thom Yorke's big ask Radiohead frontman leads climate campaign	Sarah van Schagen	27 Feb 2008	Gristmill
Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke is once again leading Friends of the Earth's Big Ask Campaign. (Hey, he likes Big Ask and he cannot lie.) The campaign calls on 17 countries and the European Union to sign on to legally binding, yearly greenhouse-gas emissions targets. More specifically, FoE is asking the E.U. to adopt a target of at least 30 percent reductions by 2020 and 90 percent by 2050. And to stop making "big ass" jokes.
