Guest guest Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 The year's hottest artists on the red carpet at the Grammy Awards. AOL Music takes you there. TreeHugger and SMITH challenge you to define your green life in just six words.Got a swell philosophy? Traveled a strange path? Fall off the eco-wagon often? Lay your tiny tale on us and you could win a copy of Smith's new book, a Planet Earth DVD set, or even an iPod nano (personalized with your winning submission, of course). Everyone on this big blue marble has a green story. So, what's yours? My favorite of the day: I've reduced my life to shreds. JACK JOHNSON'S most recent album Sleep Through the Static went on sale February 5th. He has released 3 solo records (Brushfire Fairytales, On & On and In Between Dreams), and contributed to a number of Soundtracks including Curious George, A Brokedown Melody, Thicker Than Water and September Sessions. These albums have sold over 15 million copies worldwide. TreeHugger's Jasmin Malik Chua interviewed Jack and George Spyros filmed and produced a twelve part interview in high definition video and audio. Jack fields questions including: Do you ever become overwhelmed by the environmental problems in the world? Is there an overall theme to your new album? How do you deal with the static? Do you set out to write songs about the environment? ::And Much More, a TreeHugger Exclusive Eco-flowers Pablo says don't buy imported flowers, if your package weighs two pounds then it contributed six pounds of greenhouse gases just on the flight in. Not only that, they are treated with chemicals. Look for the Veriflora label, which requires both a high level of environmental stewardship and fair labor practices. ::More Eco-lingerie Hmm. French lingerie made from white pine tree clippings. The wood fiber is made from sustainably managed wood and only certain parts of the trees are chosen, while harvesting coincides with normal pruning. The fabric boasts thermal regulating and anti-stress properties, which perhaps might be useful on Valentine's day. ::More Eco-gifts Have we mentioned that Valentine's day is coming soon? And that we produced a gift guide? And have you left things to the last minute? Well you can't buy love, but you can buy green and sustainable. Our guide to a day of pure, green romance shows how you can pamper your sweetheart without spoiling the planet. ::More. Tip from Planet Green: Feed Your Sweetie a Home Cooked Meal Flowers and lingerie are nice, but the way to your sweetie's heart is through their stomach. It's cheaper too, and is the anti-consumerist way to celebrate a consumerist holiday. Planet Green offers two light, elegant and easy to make recipes that can be prepared in advance so that you can pay attention to the object of your desire instead of your stove. There is a Penne alla Vodka and a Beet Carpaccio Salad up on Planet Green now; The PG pastry team is feverishly working in the test kitchens on dessert so you will have to return to Planet Green later in the day to see that.
