Clearwater Great Hudson River Revival
I had the best time at the Hudson River Clearwater Revival this weekend! It is one of the oldest environmental summer festivals in the country (over 35 years!) and still going strong! In fact I think there were more people this year than I’ve seen in awhile. I attended this gathering as a kid…
Getting Catty
There’s an exhaustive review of the Catwalk on the Wild Side event over at Treehugger. Unfortunately we were not able to cover this party/ecofashion show, so we will have to rely on their take on it. But suffice to say, it wasn’t all greenlovin’ at this eco-fashion extravanganza which was,…
Serious Style to Save You
There’s a gorgeous new e-zine out of foggy ‘ole England! (I swear the Brits are way ahead of us when it comes to making green look great.) Style Will Save Us comes from some of the same fine folks that brought us Ergo Living, a fabulous (but short-lived) print eco magazine. …

Ecocolo is a fabulous new Japanese eco magazine (there’s only been four…

Coulter Quips: Why She is a Bitch
COULTER’S WORLD?!? HELP! HELP! HOW THE HELL DO I GET OUT OF HERE!!!!! God gave us the earth. We have dominion over the plants, the animals, the trees. God said, ‘Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It’s yours.’ -Ann Coulter, Fox-TV: Hannity & Colmes, 20 Jun 01 Yes, it…
Volunteering, A Great Start to Activism
” Lately I’ve been thinking of ways in which I can help on a more local scale and get involved in the community. Yesterday, I found this great website, “Volunteer Match” that pairs people with an organization based on your location, skill set and availability. This amazing site currently has…
