Rain Tree Gear is as green as apparel gets
The prominence of the green movement has already affected many of the mainstream sectors of our lives. Many of the everyday decisions we make -- the food we eat, the cars we drive (or don't drive) -- are in some way impacted by a growing concern for our environment. A new Milwaukee apparel company is now doing its part to help people make smarter choices about the clothes they buy.

The Arbor House is Madison's environmental inn
Across the street from the vast expanse of the ecologically restored woodland that is the UW Arboretum, Madison's Arbor House is the brilliant result of progressive-minded development mixed with respectful historic preservation. Innkeepers John and Cathie Imes opened the Arbor House in the former Plough Inn building, a gorgeous 19th-century structure upon which they've expanded to create a two-building, eight-room "environmental inn."

Journal Sentinel polybags are NOT eco friendly
I CAN'T BELIEVE the new polybags are being spun as eco friendly. Not only is this polybag used to contain wasteful and annoying junk mail (does anyone read or use the coupons in Weekend Plus?) but now it's creating even MORE garbage, LITTER and waste- JUST what Milwaukee needs, more litter!!!!!!!...
