What we know:
- Global Warming: The sea levels are not anticipated to rise as drastically as initially thought when science from the 70's was still in vogue: from the BBC.
- Americans (and our fine Canadian brethren), collectively, are still laggards when it comes to green consumerism
What we like:
- Two controversial topics, Eco and Stiletto, combine to form Green Voltron! Well, not quite, but EcoStiletto.com seems to have it going on.You can even sign up to win $500 worth of eco-shoes every month for the rest of 2009.
- UAR: Beer, bikes and big wheels: Green bicycle ride/scavenger hunts in an urban setting on a sunny weekend morning with good friends. There are worse things in life.
What we're skeptical about:
- Whether anybody REALLY has any idea about Global Warming and what REAL impacts are going to be. I live in Seattle. Weather folks can't predict if it is going to rain on me or not. You get my drift.
- Are sites like EcoStiletto (Motto: "EcoStiletto is for the woman who wants to do the right thing and still look good doing it.") simply providing a feel-good out for folks who want to play green without all the dirty work? Discuss.
