A.M. Greenlist: Still more green festivals and concerts

>> Live Earth's coming back on Oct. 5, this time to college campuses. The event's a series of overlapping concerts around the world, intended to raise awareness about global climate change. Earlier: Live Earth returns, now as a CD/2-DVD set.

>> Design an eco-inspired poster for the Abbot Kinney Festival and win $500. The organizers plan to make the annual event green-themed, so let your artwork reflect that. Deadline: May 9.

>> Green claims on cleaning products can be confusing, because not all products that claim to be eco-friendly are created equal. Investigating all the different ingredients on a product label can be time-consuming, stressful work.

>> To really be on the safe side, you could try making your own green cleaners.

>> Conserve water -- seriously. "We must learn from the history of the great droughts and begin to think of ourselves as partners with, rather than potential masters of, the changing natural world," writes Brian Fagan, author of "The Great Warming: Climate Change and the Rise and Fall of Civilizations."

>> Polar bears: Endangered or not? A judge says the decision on whether or not to include polar bears on the endangered species list must be made by May 15.

I've been using the recipe (see the original post with link) for the DIY all-purpose cleaner lately, and it seems to be working better than the store-bought product I'd been using before that.

Great! I'll try it too, once I'm done using up all the samples I got while writing the green clean posts....
