UN Climate Change Meeting Not So Easy on the Environment
Thanks to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, 13,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide will join the Earth's atmosphere. More than 10,600 people plan to attend the two-week summit in Poznań, Poland, where delegates will discuss issues such as the greenhouse effect and weather pattern changes.

Dancing For Energy! Partying Powers Dutch Nightclub
All music is electronic electric at Rotterdam's Club Watt. A newly installed dance floor traps energy generated from dancing, and then converts it to electricity.

The divine Isabella Rossellini is not only beautiful (getting genes from Ingrid Bergman didn't hurt) and talented (Blue Velvet, anyone?), but also totally offbeat and funny.

On Friday, CasaSugar let you know about the American Institute of Architecture's offer to help the White House become an international model of energy efficiency. If President-elect Barack Obama takes AIA up on the offer, he'll really be getting somewhere with his aforementioned green building goals.

Most punks don't really think Green Day is punk, but compared to Kelly Clarkson, they're pretty hard core. Who would've thunk that their musical stylings could blend? Some genius came along, mashed up one of Green Day's live performances with one of Kelly Clarkson's, and created a new hit pop/punk ponk song.
