Check out the new Grist List [1] for the hottest trends in eco-living: First, hot on the heels of Japan’s Cool Biz [2] program – which let businessmen shed jackets and ties to save on AC – comes Warm Biz, [3] which will let businesswomen … wear furry, microwaveable bras [4] with matching hot pants to cut down on heating bills. Hello, Kitty!

Also: Megalomogulac Richard Branson says his Virgin Atlantic planes may one day be powered by biomass [5]. Back on earth, 18-wheelers are generating their own hydrogen fuel [6].

And Kudos to two companies that are piste-off about global warming [6]: Clif Bar [7] will raise skier awareness [8] this winter by buying wind power, selling green tags, and more. And the Aspen Skiing Company [9] is running its swanky resort in all the white ways [10]. Syndicated from Grist.org [10].
