10. Green public "art": Chicago River on St. Patick's Day. Yes, the Chicago Irish contingent actually does dye the River green for today.
9. Green restaurant: Nora, in Washington, DC. Restaurant Nora was America's first certified organic restaurant, given that distinction in 1999 before it was so hip.
8. Green drink: Dr. Oz's Green Drink. Never did I think I'd utter this ubiquitous doc's name, yet alone quote him in a blog, but his green smoothie is both good for you and tastes SO good you won't even want that doughnut in the conference room.
7. Shade of green: Phthalocyanine Green G. Also known as phthalo green, Pigment Green 7, copper phthalocyanince Green, C.I. Pigment Green 42, Non-flocculating Green G, Polychloro copper phthalocyanine or C.I. 74260. Something you'll never need to know.
6. Green transportation: a bike. It not only gets you where you're going but gives you a workout and always qualifies for free parking.
5. Green gift for a guy: recycled windshield beer glasses. These pilsners are handmade in Columbia of recycled car windshields.
4. Green gift for a gal: recycled record bowls. Discarded 12" vinyls recycled into cool snack bowls of different "genres".
3. Green trends: eco fashion. No longer an oxymoron, eco-conscious fashion designers are holding their own fashion shows, opening boutiques, and creating new labels everyday. Eco Fashion World provides an online sampling.
2. Green TV personality: Kermit the Frog. The cutest green guy I know.
1. Practical green: cold hard cash. The number one green item always in style, never in hand. Enough said.
