Newton’s first law of vandalism
On a scale of one to WTF, we rate this a solid WTF: Greenpeace activist leaves anti-SUV sticker on random land yacht; random land yacht turns out to belong to B-list movie star Thandie Newton; Newton takes anti-SUV message to heart, buys Prius, writes impassioned letter to fellow celebs urging them to do same. What a crazy world.

All is vanity
Yes, we realize this is the third time, but … have we mentioned our Dear Leader Chip Giller is in a glossy photo spread in the latest issue of Vanity Fair? Of course, Julia Roberts made the cover just for driving a Prius, and Chip, who’s devoted his life to the environment, is stuck on a page with four other people, but we’re not bitter.

Elementary, my dear Wattson
Want to get in on the DIY Kyoto movement, but don’t know how? A hip Brit design firm (is there any other kind?) by that very name has an answer: The Wattson‘s digital display gives up-to-the-minute info on your energy consumption, in watts or cost. Sure that readout could be painful, but at least it’s stylin’, yo.

Trash test dummy
Frustrated with discovering animal waste (!) and used diapers (!!) in recycling bins, an Arizona city will soon send scrap scofflaws to school — specifically, a trash course for rogue recyclers. “We’re stiffing up on people” (fines, people! fines!), said the city’s sani-head, “but we also want to make sure people are educated.”

G’s up, Tahoes down
Poor Chevrolet. Some marketing exec got a little too excited about the word “viral.” The company set up a website where anybody can make a commercial for the gas-guzzling, soccer-mom toting Tahoe. The results, while amusing (and apparently like crack for the media), will likely not be appearing soon on a TV near you.
