green chic: a great idea, or the new stepford?
Today's trend podcast is environmental chic.
Cathi Bond looks at a new development in Markham, Ontario. It pushes all the right buttons: it's LEED standard, mixed use, but Cathi wonders, is it a bit like Stepford?
Meanwhile, if you've got a good green idea, consider entering Amsterdam-based Picnic's Green Challenge prize for ways to help people "effortlessly" reduce their environmental impact (via WIRED). Nora wonders if its creating two classes: those who can afford to be eco-chic, and those who can't. Also mentioned in this podcast: Greenshift, a company making all kinds of smart gear, like drinking cups that are 100% compostible.
