Earth First's Hottest Girls in Green: not a direct link to the article but to the site itself, ironically self-described as,
"We are passionate about the environment and dedicated to cutting through the eco-fluff to get to the heart of the new green movement. We think there are a lot of greenwashers and opportunists out there who could care less about actively doing some good in the world, and we’re going to be all over them out here on our blog and in our soon-to-be-released video shows. We think green should be fun and cool, and are in love with the power of sarcasm and snark. Greenwashers and jerkasses of the world: beware. We’re watching."
Somehow they forgot how green it is to examine individuals based on intent and action, verses the literal image of a person. I don't think I've read this site before, but they've certainly dismissed themselves from my list of interesting sites by creating a hierarchy of beauty, an emphasis on celebrity, and a pageantry of green. I actually found out about it through one of the ranking women's blogs. Yes, she's a gorgeous woman, but she's intelligent, well-spoken and happens to be eco-minded, so while I'm super glad she made the list, I'm quite nauseated about there being a list.
What do you think? Am I just too sensitive to these things?
