It's great that changes are afoot on an industrial scale! We have big plans for our factories in the future....everything can (and should) be redesigned!

This has made my morning...very inspiring!

I think is totally appropriate to use a hot model. Sex sells and if environmentalists need to use tactics like this to encourage change, I support it. The fact that Pamela Anderson actively supports PETA is just one example. I would like to see more. Put David Beckem in a pair of organic underwear and you will see sales rise (and me smile!)

If they'd use eco safe fabrics- upcycled, recycled, orgainc etc- they would be perfect!

Is there an easy way to decrease the use of energy to cool workplaces around the world? Absolutely! Employers should do away with dress codes and allow people to dress comfortably in warm weather, e.g., shorts. Not only will you reduce the energy needed for cooling, you reduce the need for creating/shipping/buying business clothing and all of the energy/chemicals/petroleum/water needed to wash and iron said clothing. And less demand for wool means less sheep, which means less carbon, more vegetation, cleaner water, etc.

Yes. MAS has done just that!

"Must we be met with hypersexual mainstream images of women even while browsing our alternative eco-news source?"

We can only hope...

Interesting subject matter...though I'm not sure I am pleased with TreeHugger's choice of image...

I'm assuming they pay a living wage? I just wrote to find out about that and where they sell their products in the U.S.

Between the eco bikini & this, my "workplace" is about 4 degrees hotter, too.

With the workplace around four degrees hotter ... I suppose this explains why an employee is napping in her lace frillies.

but more seriously, it is nice to see them finding energy efficient ways to achieve better working conditions.
