• Quickie: Echo Project Follow-up

  The Vanderbilt Orbis has a good follow up on the Echo Project . Their take: no one in their right mind would go to a seminar on greening when Thievery Corporation was on stage, and plenty of people refused to play nice with the recycling and anti-littering Read More...

• Greening Burning Man Roundup

  I was all set to write a big roundup of the efforts to green this year's Burning Man, with a theme this year of The Green Man, but Micki Krimmel over at WorldChanging.com did it for me .
