GREEN FEATURES

THE CHANGE BROKERS
Pearl Jam and Cloud Cult are shifting the way bands do business, one green idea at a time. Plus: the world’s greenest music festival, record label, concert series, and enviro-friendly music resources galore.

HUMAN NATURE vs. NATURE
Environmental destruction is as old as the hills themselves, but with the courage to look at our past (and past the popular distractions), there’s compelling cause for hope.

HOME GROWN
Eating green doesn’t have to mean choking down boring brown vegan meals. Chef Matt Costello’s 100-mile dining philosophy serves up a plateful of tasty alternatives.

HOME IS WHERE YOU HANG YOUR FOOTPRINT
The environment begins at home, and greening your life has never been easier.
