User-generated review website keeps friendly, furry
Step off, Big Papi—there's a new Green Monster in town. More specifically, a green-furred Sasquatch named Izzit. He's spokesmonster and mascot for IzzitGreen, a sharp, Boston-based, eco-minded website launched late May.
"So much of green is grim," says Peter Hughes, the site's founder. Hughes sees most green media as "inward focused," preaching the gospel of green and instructing guilt-ridden consumers in the ways of eco-morality. That's not what IzzitGreen's about.

Where cyclists, crafters and the mayor get down
One of Somerville's biggest summer parties takes shape in the form of its annual ArtBeat. Fittingly, this year's theme is ... wait, wait, it's ... green.

Defend yourself!
Although Robin Chase—founder of Zipcar, GoLoco and Meadow Networks—thinks she ruined my life with her apocalyptic warnings, all is forgiven. I met up with the car-pooling and -sharing entrepreneur in downtown Boston to discuss climate concerns, historical fiascos and how even Boston's sports triumphs have an environmental impact.

What's that you say? You like the environment, too?
Discovery Communications grants your broadcast wishes with Planet Green, "the first and only 24-hour eco-lifestyle television network." The hybrid network—its branding style a hypothetical lovechild between E!, HGTV and VH1—launched in early June.
Network president Eileen O'Neill calls the channel "eco-tainment."

In today's climate of "greenwashing" and widespread conservation efforts, even luxury goods—like spirits—are seeing an infusion of eco-consciousness. TRU Organic Vodka, a California-based brand, not only guarantees that every step of production is USDA-certified organic (from the wind-powered Idaho wheat farm to local lemons for infusions), but also takes tremendous steps to be more sustainable in every element of their business.

There's a new (well, since 1868) natural apothecary in town
As a devoted Burt's Bees user, I have been wary of venturing into the uncharted territory of any other natural apothecary (Dr. Bronner's hardly counts, since you can use that stuff to clean your body, hair, laundry, car and toilet).

Gearing up for Bikes Not Bombs' annual fest
You would think that any alternative to bombs could surely be a brilliant move. (World peace through ice cream? Maybe.) However, we have much more faith in Bikes Not Bombs

WebbliWorld gives kids awareness, googly-eyed avatars
Finally, a way for kids to go green that doesn't necessarily involve eating brussels sprouts or spinach (audible faint cheers). Launched in July 2007, WebbliWorld.com (geared for ages 6-12) is the first green social network designed to teach children about today's biggest issues. All users assume a Webbli identity in this colorfully wacky realm designed by Aardman Animations, the Brit geniuses behind Wallace & Gromit.

Baring—and blaring—Mother Nature's bounty
The 15th Annual Radio 92.9 Earthfest this Saturday will not only be avidly eco-friendly, but you can have your Cake and eat it too. Along with environmentally oriented activities, the festival boasts musical guests as good as greenhouse gases are bad. They're going the distance with, you guessed it, Cake, along with British ska kings The English Beat. Joining them on the Main Stage will be the likes of roots-rockers The BoDeans and '90s alt-fave Cracker (has your past been blasted yet?).
