Earth Love or Lunacy?

I used to consider myself pretty earth-friendly: I turn off lights. I don't drive a car. I never use aerosol sprays. I lug a canvas bag to the grocery store. But then I read this: A New York couple is trying to go a whole year without making any environmental impact on the planet, Glamour says. No trash, no carbon emissions, no toxins in the water, no elevators, no subway, no a.c., no packaged products ... nope, not even toilet paper. (Let's not discuss it.) Don't buy it? Just check out the couple's entertaining blog: “A guilty liberal finally snaps, swears off plastic, goes organic, becomes a bicycle nut, turns off his power ... and while living in New York City ... tries to save the polar bears and the rest of the planet from environmental catastrophe while dragging his baby daughter and Prada-wearing, Four Seasons-loving wife along for the ride." Quite the brave endeavor, no question. A small, earthy beauty tip for the road: As she hoofs it to work, the fashionista woman can at least swipe on CARGO's PlantLove Lipstick, made entirely out of corn with a flower paper container that sprouts wildflowers when its planted. Ah, nothing like an earth-loving silver lining.
