Among the more quotable lines from the interview is Tom Boucher's take on the combination of business and sustainability: "We imagine a world where everyone does well by doing good." It's a good read for the uninitiated or anyone who just wants to brush up on their carbon offsets right from the horse's mouth.

Not to be shown up, Mercedes-Benz's BlueTec diesel emissions-control technology won the award for Best New Technology. Great to see two earth-friendly technologies at the top of the class!

Others on the list are Sting, Harrison Ford, Dave Matthews, Al Gore, Pierce Brosnan & Ed Norton. "Early adapters, like Cameron Diaz, led the way and now with everyone from Kirsten Dunst to Maroon 5 to Will Ferrell driving hybrid cars, (it) sends the message that it's cool to think and buy green," said Debbie Levin, president of the Environmental Media Association.

While the organic status of the farm is not yet certified (a process that can sometimes take a few years), Hurley is still very excited to be involved in the process. "It’s the only place I want to be. When we get our organic status we’re going to farm properly and we’re going to have a herd of cows and proper sheep and proper chickens, and we’re going to have Gloucestershire Old Spot pigs," she said.

Jay's main living area is packed full of amenities that make him more comfortable—including a tiny fireplace! Another bonus—his commute from home to office is just inches away. Jay has a desk where he can sit and get his work done. And, if Jay wants to entertain, he says his "great room" fits four people comfortably. Check out a video at Oprah's site.

They learned that it was easy (and often cost effective) to make simple changes to be more sustainable, and passed along some tips (with help from the NRDC) to make more sustainable choices at home, work, on the road in between and when you sit down at the dinner table.

So far, over 14 million bulbs have been purchased since the beginning of 2007, which translates into over $414 million in savings on energy bills, the equivalent of taking almost 100,000 cars off the road and saving almost 1.5 billion pounds of coal from being burned, and over 6 billion pounds of CO2 kept out of the atmosphere. So change a bulb; it changes everything.

One of the filmmakers will have the opportunity to create an online animated series based on their pilot. Vote now to decide who makes the cut!

WMG also announced the development of a new company-wide program to reduce or offset greenhouse gas emissions associated with global climate change, beginning with a carbon-neutral Grammy party.

"If the whole world switches to these bulbs today, we would reduce our consumption of electricity by an amount equal to five times Australia's annual consumption of electricity," said Malcolm Turnbull, the country's environment minister.

From the National Biodiesel Conference, Daryl Hannah said that interest in the fuel had never been higher. Four years ago, she said, the conference "was 400 farmers sitting in a hotel in Palm Springs, and now we’re talking thousands of people and importations from all over the world, just to get a product out on the market."

Included in the preliminary bill are the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bon Jovi, Snoop Dogg, Melissa Etheridge, the Foo Fighters, Lenny Kravitz, Sheryl Crow, John Mayer, Duran Duran, Korn, Pharrell, the Black Eyed Peas, Akon, Enrique Iglesias, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw. Proceeds from the shows will create a foundation to combat climate change led by The Alliance for Climate Protection.
