We've mentioned a number of times how green the Philadelphia Eagles football team is, but I believe we've neglected to mention that the cheerleaders are also backing the effort to green the team. In fact, they've been so kind as to pose in organic swimwear and eco-accessories for a 16-month calendar printed on (mostly) recycled paper.

The calendar will be available soon, but you can sneak a peek at Ms. November below:

ooooohhhh.....eco-organic consumer goods....

And modeled by hot women no less. This is definitely much classier than the trashy advertising used by conventional cotton products. Mmm....I just want to go out and buy some organic cotton lingerie right now for my wife. Maybe I can get a solar-powered tanning bed, some botanical-based hair color, some animal-friendly make-up, and some low-impact silver and gold jewelry. Then she'd be an eco-queen!

Consumption is consumption, right? I would say we probably have enough cotton stored in our respective attics, garages, and basements right now to halt all cotton production right now for the next 10 years.

All that being said, organic cotton is much better than conventional, pesiticide-intensive, water-intensive cotton grown in Texas deserts. Where is "organic cotton" grown? And does "Boll-Gard" or other genetically-engineered BT-cotton count as "organic" according to USDA? I've got the feeling that we have more questions to ask...

She is definitely hot though....

We need to drum up a whole controversy over "eco-friendly" consumption and get some scientists to go back and forth about the benefits and sustainability of organic cotton so that we'll all have an excuse to come back to this page again and again.

Wrong Crowd

Pretty much wasting the bandwidth with this crowd. Their idea of hot (or warm) is Al Gore, posing prone in hemp boy shorts while sprawled on the hood of a Prius.

As for me...um...I'll be back in about 6..8 minutes...

Hold on...

Now let's not get crazy here. I will not tolerate a "hotness" gap with conservatives. I think this girl is hot, too. Just a little, um, slim(and blonde)for my tastes. Give her some good high-calorie vegetarian meals and let her fill out a bit. I'm personally waiting for Al to come out with a Speedo calender. Sexy!

I love how this is not even a calendar... how can you document your appointments on this thing?!

Now, if all the other teams can live up to Philly! I mean, it's big shoes I know... first captiol... first 'green' sports team...
