1. Leo-topia

    Once upon a time, we swore we’d never watch reality TV, but now we’re Dancing With the Bachelor’s Top Model every week. And soon Leo may join the lineup, greening a yet-to-be-chosen American town (ooh, pick us! pick us!) in E-topia. But will it restore our dwindling dignity? Stay tuned.

  3. Look at the stars, see how they samba for you

Can you say muy caliente?

  4. Joystick it to the man

    Fancy-graphic video game Adventure Ecology dispatches students to fight eco-threats and halt pollution, teaching them that our choices have real-life consequences. Also true to life: the game’s evil-doer, Global Warming, is aided by Mr. Lazy, Chairman Greed, and General Fear. Aren’t they up for reelection?

    Today, we salute you, Mr. Afraid to Be Too Green Beer-maker Guy. Mr. Afraid to Be Too Green Beer-maker Guy!

Sure, going organic is a good move, but no one wants to be labeled a tree hugger. That bark is too itchy! So crack open a cold one, oh brawny brewmeister. You can keep your eco under wraps, but we know your true colors. Mr. Afraid to Be Too Green Beer-maker Guy!
