Green Rooftops and Torrential Rains


Great post on Inhabitat from Gretchen linking the horrific Northeastern rainstorms to the need for Green Rooftops. Seattle actually is making some headway here with new buildings. City Hall sports a green roof; see KPFF consultant Paul Diedrich's commentary for more.

Ethical Weddings? Something to think about...

I can't do better on this concept than City Hippy: Nice day for a green wedding! Interesting concept...anyone tried it yet? I can't help but think some entrepreneurial types will come up with Green Wedding Consultants businesses.

More on Carbon Footprint Offsetting

A Greener Me talks about carbon offsetting and lists some reference sites. This is becoming an increasingly intriguing topic. I still have reservations about trading pollution for money because (see previous posts ultimately pollution is still pollution. But if nothing else, the whole notion of carbon footprints and trading really does raise visibility and consciousness on this strategic front.

What A Girl's Gotta Do to Get Her Point Across...


Among the sensationalist uninvestigative media, it's tough to get noticed. Unless you pull a Lady Godiva. Kudos to the Argentina contingent for drawing attention to pulp mill pollution with a little pulp faction.
