I’m in love with a race-car driver. [Green Crush #10: Leilani Munter, "the Carbon-Free Girl"]

What good would the Green Generation be if we didn’t get to have some crushes? Here’s number 10 on my top 10 list: Leilani Munter adopts an acre of rainforest for every race she enters. Seems silly, trite? Back off, buddy—you know what’s silly is racing (and, often crashing) multi-million dollar cars in a big loop, polluting the air we all breathe…and not bothering to do something to eco-ameliorate all that good fun.
Can you digg it? I did—Leilani, I was your 11th Digg…and this blog will send many more fans to you…if you feel you owe me the chance to take you out for a drink, I wouldn’t argue…Waylon…Waylon, Waylon…Wake up, Waylon.
For more on the “Carbon-Free Girl,” the self-proclaimed “vegetarian hippie chick race car driver” and her “journey to be carbon neutral—a diary of her lifetime project of sorting through the facts & fiction about alternative fuels, organic food, clean energy, green buildings, solar power, wind farms, composters, recycled toilet paper, politics & more—all while she makes a living driving a race car at 200 mph”—click here.
