A.M. Greenlist: What's gone green*

>> It's Bike to Work Day! Pedal to work and get free bus rides, plus snacks and other goodies at the many pit stops around the city.

>> Downtown art exhibit space Pharmaka's gone green with LED lights, eco-friendly furniture and an energy-efficient air circulation system (via blogdowntown). The greening process will be shown in a new green lifestyle show on the Discovery Channel starring Adrian Grenier called Alter Eco, which appears to have copied the name of a fair trade company I like.

>> Google Store's gone green, with organic T-shirts, hemp organizers, recycled denim pencils, and more. I'm most interested in the recycled plastic mouse in red. (via groovy green)

>> *Finally, polar bears were given recognition under the Endangered Species Act by the Bush administration yesterday, one day before the deadline set by a judge. (An earlier version of this item stated that the bears were placed on the Endangered Species list. In fact, the recent ruling gives the animal "threatened" status under the Endangered Species Act.)

>> Are you drinking genetically modified wine? ML01, a genetically modified yeast, is in some North American wines -- and won't be listed on a label despite the fact no one has throughly tested its safety. "Letting lab-produced ingredients slip into the bottle unchecked is antithetical to an ethos based in appreciation of artisan traditions, deep connections between producers and the land, and personal relationships between distributors and consumers. Until North American health organizations start regulating the labeling of GM foodstuffs, it’s all the more essential to be intimately acquainted with what you sip."
