Backed by Green Party, Reverend Billy Runs for Mayor
Rebecca White, New York Times
Reverend Billy of the Church of Stop Shopping is — to say the least — not your typical candidate for mayor. With his blond pompadour, cobalt blue suit, black shirt and white collar, he made his announcement in Union Square on Sunday accompanied by a choir in green robes.

“Going Green” starts here: One student’s quest for sustainable living
Andy Kroll, Uwire
Green is in.
It’s everywhere you look—green jobs, green energy, green infrastructure, green technology, green policy. An influential force in American life since the 1960s, the environmental movement has grown exponentially in the past few years, with catchwords like “organic” and “sustainable” and “green” entering our daily lives more than ever before.
Accompanying the green movement is a major push to change the way we live—from a buy-buy-buy, consumer-driven lifestyle to one that’s more environmentally friendly and ecologically sustainable.
…The college life, however, is far from normal, and presents a few more hurdles on the way to sustainability. Whether crammed into the dorms, squeezed into a small apartment or sharing an old house with six roommates, the big question—How do I start living green?—gets a bit trickier as a college student.
…Over the next month, I’m setting out to answer these questions—and many more—here on “Going Green: Cutting Environmental Impact on Campus,” a special UWIRE project in which, for the month of March, I will try to live as sustainably as possible and do as much as I can to decrease my personal impact on the environment.
