A.M. Greenlist: Organic beer and rainforest-saving condoms

Brazil >> Condoms: More eco-friendly than ever. Brazillians will be supporting local agriculture and rainforest preservation by practicing safe sex! Brazil's opened a new condom factory that will get its latex from small time rubber tappers who protect their trees and the larger rainforest. The condoms will be distributed free in Brazil as part of an anti-AIDS program. (via grist)

>> Seven organic beers, reviewed by Tom Philpott of Grist. "Why is beer so good? The question has perplexed humanity since the dawn of agricultural civilization 10,000 years ago."

>> The new Bond villain: A greenwasher. The upcoming Bond film "Quantum of Solace" will feature a guy pretending to be an eco-conscious businessman in order to control the water biz. (via green daily)

>> Los Angeles didn't get the Department of Energy's "2008 Solar America Cities" designation -- which means we lost out on "up to $200,000." Three Cali cities did make the list: Sacramento, San Jose, and Santa Rosa. (via Inhabitat)

>> Amazon's added a green product recommendation app called “Green 3," inviting users to recommend their three favorite eco-friendly products.
