There are some things that — no matter how green — just don’t make sense.

What you name a clothing store when you want to appeal to everyone.

Angel View Thrift Mart Prestige Boutique

Thrift? Prestige? Boutique? All at once? Perfect for the Eco Barbies…….huh?

Green Fashion Show. Ever wondered how Eco-Sexy you can be with a Cosmo-Green lifestyle? I’m tired just thinking about it.

By all means, jump in…do you have an OM that’s just gas? [oxymoron]

Clean Coal has to be the weirdest

Green warfare is a new one on me!

Exxon Cares

A ’sustainable’ iceberg hotel … in Dubai

Is it just us, or is the Arctic really the only logical place where an iceberg hotel can be considered sustainable? From that perspective, sticking a piece of frozen architecture under the blazing sun of the Middle East seems the antithesis of “green,” no matter how much solar energy you harness. But that’s the idea behind the Blue Crystal, a “swimming world of ice offshore Dubai” that would feature luxury restaurants, an underwater lounge and five-level ballrooms, among other amenities. Did we mention it would have a “self-sufficient energy system?”

Green shopping malls

Never mind how appealing the design and eco-friendliness might be (see, for example, these plans for a 1-million-square-foot shopping mall in Kuala Lumpur) … the whole idea behind the shopping mall — cheap plastic stuff from China, “As Seen on TV” consumer gadgets, all the latest fashions, etc. — is, admit it, an unsustainable one. Certainly, a growing number of once-middle-class consumers have come to that conclusion during this Great Recession.

• When I think Green, I think awareness and humility [/caption] When I think Green, I think awareness. More awareness breeds more humility and gratitude. Agree?

• Hummingbirds make love at speeds above 40 mph by Jerry Hart Most of my emphatic spiritual love for nature is because of animals.

• Greenwash Of The Week: Flying Around The Globe Going To "Green" Expos. This week's Greenwash isn't about a company or a product, but rather about those "environmentalists" who spend their time flying around the globe going to "green" conferences.
