Green Police

Audi ran a commercial during the Super Bowl last night featuring the "Green Police". I thought it was a little over-the-top (like most Super Bowl ads) but I loved it non the less. I have a special place in my heart for Audis and I'm definitely a fan of the new 2010 Audi A3 TDI. At 42 mpg on the highway with reduced CO2 emissions and great low-end torque performance, no wonder it won Green Car of the year. What do you guys think?

Each year the Go Green Expo travels nationally and showcases the latest eco-friendly products and services. It will be coming to the Los Angeles Convention Center January 23rd-24th and will feature 250+ exhibits, eco-celebrity speakers including Ed Begley Jr and Mariel Hemingway, educational workshops and seminars, green jobs, an eco-film festival and much more. Business buyers can attend on Friday (Jan 22nd) and use their business card for admission. The general public can get a 2-day pass (Sat & Sun) for only $10. I will definitely be there, hope you will too!

So, here's a short list to help make your holidays a little greener and in turn give a gift to mother earth.

Street Fashion Bunny Rabbits

The intent of this blog is to provide my readers some insight into green ideas for their home and other related news along the way. But I'm veering a little off course here today. Anyone who knows me and my love of rabbits will understand.

Besides rabbits, I am fascinated with Japanese pop culture. From the gothic lolita to their obsession with Gundam, I can never get enough of their- what would you call it- crazy inventiveness? But when I found out that every November, in Yokohama, they hold a 2-day "Rabbit Festa" with 8,000 visitors and a rabbit fashion contest, my admiration grew to new heights. Street fashion bunny rabbits? Are you kidding me?
