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. Energy used to get the attendees to the talks, or used to heat and light the venue, will contribute to the very problems they seek to solve.
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.
Yesterday's New York Times profiled the sustainable dance club, explaining that people can see the results of their energy creation.
The Terminator Fires Dirty Harry Over State Parks
Well this only-in-California story involves Clint Eastwood, a Kennedy, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and environmentalists. Governor Schwarzenegger let go conservationist/ex-mayor/actor/director/producer Clint Eastwood from his position as a California park commissioner. Arnold's brother-in-law, Bobby Shriver, also got terminated.

"Men's Rights" Groups Say Feminist Society Oppresses Men
We've all heard of women's rights activists, but are you familiar with men's rights activists? MRAs are men who believe that the emancipation of women and the emergence of feminism has led to the oppression of men. (Because, you know, it can't be a win-win proposition!)
Double X provided an extensive exploration of a movement that is trying to appear more mainstream.
Girl Crush of the Day: Isabella Rossellini
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. Here she is on the Sundance Channel's second installment of its Green Porno series telling us about the fascinating sex life of the limpet sea creature.
Get a load of this: The limpet (a sequential hermaphrodite) starts off sexless.
The Obama Girls Go Green at School
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. But, as it turns out, Obama has already begun to walk the walk: after much ado, he and Michelle have decided to send their daughters, Malia and Sasha, to an environmentally friendly, LEED-platinum school, the Sidwell Friends School in D.C.
Shades of Green — A Disney Resort For Military Families
I can't believe I had never heard of this place until I cracked open the Times yesterday — Shades of Green. It's a vacation spot for soldiers on active duty (and other eligible service folks) to call their own when they come home to visit their families or need a vacation.
Nestled within Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL, the name is inspired by camouflage colors and features everything you'd expect from a fun-in-the-sun resort — all housed on property leased by the Army.
Green Day + Kelly Clarkson = Ponk Rock
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.
Will Ferrell Goes Green
Do not piss off Will Ferrell and his environmentally-friendly Green Team, cuz they are not so friendly if you litter. (Thanks for sending, Casa!)
