The Green Room: Beyonce vs. Nature
Posted by Joshua W. Jackson on September 1, 2006 - 5:58am.

The most savage beast in the music industry is at it again. Beyonce, longtime enemy of PETA and known to be a foe to wildlife, recently copped to requesting that a baby alligator's mouth be taped shut during a photo shoot for her new album cover. The young reptile (the alligator, not the pop star) reacted by urinating all over Destiny's most famous child, hence fulfilling the innermost desires of environmentalists and animal rights activists everywhere.

After an unlikely turn of events, at least one news source is applying the words, "one of the country's foremost advocates of a major shift in energy policy" to somebody whose last name is Bush. The St. Petersburg Times reports that Jeb Bush, famous for being the one who isn't the President, has a newfound passion for ethanol as a fuel source after reading a report on new energy options. Jeb has called on his brother, George, to lift a tariff on Brazilian ethanol, but thus far his pleas have fallen on deaf, bizarrely ape-like ears.

The new season of The Martha Stewart Show will reportedly feature exciting new segments on improving the energy efficiency of your home and becoming more environmentally aware as a consumer. However, despite the first-hand experience Stewart has to offer, reports that the show will also include tips on creating a carbon neutral and eco-friendly prison cell appear to be largely unfounded.

This week the NRDC's website features a video encouraging participation in the never ending fight to save the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, nearly 20,000 acres of federal protected (so far) diverse wildlife in Northeastern Alaska. The star of the video? None other than Robert Redford. While the video has proven informative and inspiring to all demographics, the NRDC can probably expect a gigantic influx of donations from previously inactive middle-aged single women.

NASCAR legend Rusty Wallace has joined the ranks of Julia Roberts, Morgan Freeman, and Willie Nelson by becoming a board member of Earth Biofuels, Inc, a producer of biodiesel. In the meantime, Julia Roberts and Morgan Freeman are left wondering, "Is it just me, or did it just get much more rednecky in here?"

You People need to get a damn life. That tape was not hurting that reptile. And how long do you think it had to wear it? All day? Yea right. Leave the smaller issues alone and try tackling the bigger issues.

Thanks Loosers

Interests: Horseback riding, watching the silence of the snow, obviously anything creative, cooking
Inspiration: Like most of you, when I heard of recycling to save the earth, I naturally assumed I needed to separate my plastics, newspapers and glass. I was helping. That was all I needed to do. Then one day, I was searching around for something fun, some art, and I came across this abstract piece. It was gorgeous - it looked like a naturally formed wave of icy white water bursting into the air. When I looked closer at it, I saw that it was made from recycled plastic caps. I was in shock. What kind of imagination and talent does that take to look at a plastic cap and see more to it then what it actually is? How can someone be so ingenious that they can take something that we normally throw away and create such a piece of beauty with it? This is the thought process that I could not stop pondering and it took over my mind, body and soul and soon enough became my muse. I began Earth's Journey for this reason. I wanted to show the world that there was more to saving the earth than just recycling. There is beauty in things we can't even imagine, and so many ways to help our planet flourish. There are products out there that we all could use to completely decorate, furnish and run a home... all environmentally safe. You can buy organic bedding, non-toxic cleaning detergents, solar power, or make a change in a small way by using energy-efficient light bulbs. But the best part of recycling and being eco-friendly is the beauty that you'll find here, with all of our different artisans. As you can see I'm very passionate about this type of artistic creativity, and I hope you will be too. I invite you to sit back, relax and ... Be Inspired by Green!
