Sarah Silverman, Amanda Little Take On Climate Skeptic in Rowdy, Profanity-Riddled Debate (Video)

Photo via the Daily Green Last night I attended what may be the strangest green-themed event ever. In order to roll out their new CT 200 hybrid with a bang, Lexus hosted an evening called the Darker Side of Green. The main attraction was a debate between author Amanda Little ( Power Trip ) and Gore-hating Phelim McAlee (the film Not Evil, Just Wrong ) ‘moderated’ by Sarah Silverman (I say ‘moderated’ because as you’ll see in the videos below, she had no qual..

No Impact Man

http://www.noimpactdoc.com/trailer.php No Impact Man is a funny, inspiring film about Colin Beavan, a liberal schlub who got tired of listening to himself complain about the world without ever actually doing anything about it.  In November, 2006, Beavan launched a year-long project in which he, his wife, his two-year-old daughter and his four-year-old dog went off the grid and attempted to live in the middle of New York City with as little environmental impact as possible.  The No Impact project has been a successful and entertaining blog and is now a film too.  Recently released on DVD, No Impact Man follows Colin and his family (his wife is one of the film’s producers) on their journey to get and stay off the grid in New York City without killing each other.  Can you imagine never taking an elevator, washing your clothes in the bathtub, and not owning a phone?  Yeah.  Crazy stuff.  This film made us laugh, made us feel frustrated, and reminded us of so many more small ways we can make a difference each day.  Check it out!  We think you’ll love this movie.

Reusable Shopping Totes

As a planet, we consume over 500 billion (that’s with a B!) plastic bags each year. Stop the madness! Stock up on totes to help schlep your groceries or mall splurges without the plastic. Here are some of our latest favorites: Maggie Bags Available in purse, messenger bag and large tote styles in every color under the sun, we love Maggie Bags!  These super durable bags are made from reclaimed automobile seat belts.  It’s true:  each year millions of yards of seat belt webbing are rejected by car manufacturers for the slightest color variation.  Rather than hitting the landfill, the folks at Maggie Bags snatch up these belts, dye them funky colors and weave them into cool bags.  Since the polyester seat belt webbing was originally designed to save lives, these bags are super strong and durable – they’re even machine washable!  The Tote of Many Colors is our favorite – it’s a fantastic market bag and will be awesome for the beach too.  Check out the website to see all of the styles and colors available, as well as where to buy these chic handbags.

Ocean Film Fest 2010: The Great White Shark Song Brings Fun Back Into the Shark Conversation (Video)

Screenshot via YouTube Sharks were a big part of the film fest, and conversations revolved around finning and the massive decline of an apex predator that holds the balance of the oceans together. But not every video at the Ocean Film Festival was serious footage about the decline of the oceans. There was a fair amount of fun to be had, and no other film brought forth as much laughter from the audience as The Great White Shark Song – a music video that tells exactly what a shark might think and do if it found you in the ocean
