Philadelphia pushes Comcast Center HD Video Wall as tourist attraction {Engadget HD}
Aug 21st 2008 10:12PM Oh yes, I've seen it. Saw it randomly on one of the first days the video wall was live. When I walked in there was a video of a woman hovering right above the info desk. I actually thought it was a hologram info lady.

Why everyone is greenwashing, and why that's not so bad {Green Daily}
May 12th 2008 8:23PM The biggest issue here is transparency. Yes, "better" is better than nothing, but consumers should know how much better something is in environmental terms, and specifically *if it's really better at all*.
BTW, as the blog writer for TerraChoice, I covered another angle on this issue recently. Specifically, the false idea that even greenwashing leads eventually to greener behaviors. Not true if the greenwashing is undiscovered. Transparency, transparency, transparency.
