The Green Room: Martha Stewart Hugs Trees

This week home and style guru Martha Stewart is doing a "Going Green" series on her show [1]. Wednesday she hosted Treehugger [2]'s Simran Sethi on a segment [3] about flooring options. If jailbird Stewart seemed nervous, it probably wasn't that she was uncomfortable with sustainability [3]; she also had Mr. T, a former military policeman [4], on the show that day.

Ted Danson, Pierce Brosnan, Tom Hanks, and others have taken an active role [4] in fighting for the air and water quality in their Malibu community. However, according to an ongoing investigation, residents of the town such as those stars could be responsible [5] for fecal contamination of surrounding waters via leaky septic systems. Analysists say that this may be the first time that the crap the entertainment industry produces actually poses a serious health risk.

Our friends at Ecorazzi [6] have discovered [7] that Gwyneth Paltrow, noted yoga practitioner [7], is a tremendous fan of Earth Mama Angel Baby's eco-friendly organic [7] stretch oil [8], which she presumably used while she was carrying her baby daughter Apple. Despite her love of the planet, Paltrow has not specified whether her daughter's name refers to an organic or conventionally-grown piece of fruit.

Barbara Streisand is embarking on a tour [9] that will raise money for a variety of charities, including one million dollars for Bill Clinton's Climate Change Initiative [10]. Rumor has it that Streisand has also offered to shield melting polar ice caps from the sun with the shadow of her ego.
