First, full disclosure: Unlike Starre, I didn’t watch LiveEarth. Not on TV or in person or on the Internet. It was held, admittedly, for a good cause. But I’m not a huge fan of pop and celebrity, so something about the whole spectacle turned me off. And that’s tough to say because I try hard [...]

—Giants Stadium, 2:45 PM EST
I’m here at Live Earth in New York, which is the last show in the worldwide music celebration so we can Save Our Selves (SOS).

KT Tunstall

KT Tunstall is up first, after a lackluster intro by Mr. Six-Degrees-of-Kevin-Bacon. Are you watching? If not, you can tune in online here. What do [...]

On Earth Day (I know, I know, that was April, but better late than never), The San Francisco Chronicle compiled a list of environmental books to read. A few of the picks were what I’d consider greeny standard reading: Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring and Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth.
It also included the new-to-me World [...]

The creative folks at DeSmogBlog have put together this fun game…go on, take a break and do something fun! There’s funny music too! (Doncha just luuurve the Internet?)

Well, the Oscars are over, and while there’s just no way that a party this big can be environmentally-friendly, efforts were made to make this Oscar greener than ever (though the website doesn’t detail exactly how impacts were reduced), it says:
This year, the Academy, the Oscar telecast producer Laura Ziskin and the entire production [...]

In case you missed it, on Friday, Al Gore (wait, who said he wasn’t cool?) announced a huge concert event that will happen this summer called Live Earth.
Titled “Save Our Selves” (um, yeah!) multiple concerts will take place on all seven continents on July 7 (that’s a lucky number 07.07.07 for all you [...]

Warning: Gratuitous Sting-Loving Ahead
How freakin’ awesome was Sting at the Grammys last night? Reuniting with The Police, showing off his incredible guns, and doing an amazing rendition of Roxanne. Bestill my heart.

Sting is a longtime environmentalist, yogi, and infamously, practicer of tantric sex. But it’s his love for planet Earth that I find the [...]

Back in the beginning of December, I mentioned that a new online-only wedding magazine would be debuting in January. Well, Portovert is up and running, and it looks like they have some great content going on in their premiere issue!
If you are getting married, or know someone who is, check it out as there [...]
