Tonight is the long awaited Academy Awards in Hollywood and with each gathering of stars, you always know there is going to be a popularity contest.
This year it seems that green no longer means the amount of “greenback” (dollars) that stars make per movie. It has morphed into meaning “how environmental can I show my lifestyle and raison-d’etre (reason for living) to be!”. Everyone is tripping over themselves from the charity work they do to the kind of vehicle they drive… and frankly I THINK ITS AMAZING AND SUPPORT EVERY BIT OF IT!
Who cares why people support the environmental wave….as long as they do it in a way that helps the cause. The only exception I will make is where their actions will hurt people or break laws which are elected (see previous post about Michael Crighton’s book ‘State of Fear’).
Al Gore will be there arriving with Orlando Bloom in a green-mobile. So will Penelope Cruz (who wouldn’t want to be in THAT car ;), and so will a host of companies getting their “green products” promoted (Toyota with its hybrid, for example).
I hope many of you sit to watch and enjoy the festitivites tonight. It will be interesting to see who wins the “Green Oscar Award” for best performance in the category of green living…

Hope we catch a picture of him and penelope together at the afterparty. Are they or arn’t they a couple? E news says they are a non couple and people says they were sitting close and talking but not affectionate at teddy’s and on people.com orlando is her new constant companion. I want to know what’s happening.
I am in China so it is difficult for me to pick up the phone and call you directly. I have just launched a Green Technology information site. http://www.hunuh.com/ Would you please take a few minutes to submit your Green related stories to the site? Feel free to contact me. Thank you in advance.
Thank you.

Another Kind of Green Oscar!
Oceana awarded another kind of Green Oscar to Masters of Making Mercury in our Environment – yes, MOMMIEs. Mercury poses its greatest risk to children and often even before they are born. That’s why Oceana has recognized major mercury emitters – chlorine factories that continue to use mercury polluting technology even though 90% of the industry has already switched to mercury free technology. The award – a life-sized gold statue of a pregnant mommie – is definitely worth checking out
