Rufus to the
Rescue
Our favorite
troubadour is staging a green initiative that’s
mysteriously cool -- just like him.
By Choire Sicha
-
Going Green
"I'm sure
participating in Blackout Sabbath will give many of us a
perspective on what we can do without, and how dependant we
are on being hooked up to something (a computer, a
blackberry, a television) at all times."
-
Rufus Wainwright
"Mr. Wainwright
has beauty, brains, and talent to burn. His music has
always shown us that he sees the world in a fresh and unique
way, and it is fun to see this approach applied to a
global issue."
-
The Cult of Green
Consumption 5/6/08
"I enjoyed Fred
Bernstein's insights on what being green really means.
But he needs to brush up on his gay research, or dial down
his sarcasm a bit."
-
The Cult of Green
Consumption
"This is the
first and only article that I've come across that
addresses the differences between what it means to genuinely
care about improving the environment and simply buy
into a trend that only ends up defeating its original
purpose."
-
Chevrolet Volt
Electric/Gas Car
"Your article
failed to mention that when we plug an electric car
into our household outlet, we now have a car that runs on
coal."
-
Cars Are Not
Green
"Buying hybrid
cars, participating in symbolic light-out weekends,
and stocking up on eco-friendly housewares just isn't
enough."
-
Green Issue:
Veganism, Not More Cars!
"You failed to
give any coverage to a significant way Americans can
help stop global warming: by adopting a purely
vegetarian/vegan diet."
-
The Green Issue
"The planet does
not need saving. It was here a long time before we
showed up and will be here long after we're extinct."
-
Green
"Learning a lot
from this issue (as usual), but could not help but
wonder -- just how 'green' IS the plastic shipping package
my Advocate arrives in?"
-
All the
President's Men and Women
"To see people
who were so prominent during Bill Clinton's years as
likely to be part of Hillary's team brought back to mind the
emptiness of the Clinton presidency's putative support
of our issues."
-
Ford Motor
Company
"One has to
remember that Ford was one of the first major
corporations to align themselves with the Gay community many
years ago."
-
Fiji Water Is Not
Green
"For Americans
who want to be green, drinking water shipped halfway
across the world is not a green choice."
-
Blackout Sabbath
"Blackout Sabbath
is a beautiful theory, Rufus, but horribly impractical
and wasteful."
-
Green Issue
"While I laud the
magazine's efforts to make us all better corporate
stewards of the environment, it's a shame you don't practice
what you preach."
