Picking Up On Our Green Hotties: Olivia Zaleski’s Getting Noticed

Olivia Zaleski is a NYC based green blogger, news editor, and budding TV personality. She’s also pretty smoking hot. The math is simple:

Green + Smart + Hot = Olivia Zaleski

Obviously she made the list at #5 on our Top 25 Hottest Girls in Green, but I also spotted her on Urlesque this morning on their list of Bloggers We Want to See in Bikinis.

They have it:

Who? The girl making-do with monkey bars at your kid’s playground. This self-professed jungle gym enthusiast isn’t around many trees in NYC, but likes the few obligatory ones in the park enough to act as managing editor of Eco-Chick. You’ll also find Olivia not taking any crap as environmental columnist for The Huffington Post.

Good spot Urlesque, Olivia is going places.

LSD Inventor Albert Hofman Dies, Treehugger Gives Props, Treehugger Readers Freak Their Shit Out

Man, Treehugger readers can be a bunch of bitchy squares.

The inventor of LSD, Albert Hofman recently died. Mr. Hofman’s invention was a major influence (mostly positive, some negative) in the lives of millions of artists, philosophers, deadheads, green bloggers, and yes, even treehuggers. LSD’s ability to show people planes of thought outside the normal everyday consciousness is one of the undertold stories of modern history.

Poor Lloyd Alter over at Treehugger posted a Happy 100th Birthday post a few years back when Mr. Hofman ticked over the century mark and got flamed in the comments for it. His recent post giving props to the deceased Swiss chemist was again flooded with uptight squares saying stupid things like comparing Hofman to Pablo Escobar (Escobar got WAY richer).

Someone needs to drop hit of cool on those squarebots. You’re giving us treehuggers an uptight name.
