| Apr 07: While it's easy to be seduced by the fanfare surrounding Al Gore's not-too-preachy pièce de résistance, the allure of Prius-driving celebs and the adorableness of Knut, Berlin Zoo's new polar bear cub, you'd have to be living under a (melting) ice cap to miss the point: our little planet is in serious trouble. And while it's not easy being green, at least now it's a little more fun with the light-hearted yet sage wisdom of Style Will Save Us, a self-proclaimed "digital magazine for a peachy lifestyle." (Don't worry, one of the things you'll learn is you won't have to jettison your highly-evolved personal style with your decadent ways.) Dedicated to showcasing methods and products that are not only ethically irreproachable but aesthetically pleasing, the UK-based website covers beauty, fashion, food, home and lifestyle with short, entertaining and informative featurettes. Additional sections invite readers to "Act" with tips, polls, a guilt-racking little thing called "Carbon Kicker" and a calendar of events around the world. A green guru answers composting questions and a message board takes us fashion types to task ("We're desperate for Sonia Rykiel to go eco! Who do you wish would catch up on the ethical front?"). At once eco-friendly and style-conscious—or is that eco-conscious and style-friendly?—the site is proof you no longer have to go grouchy to go green.
