She blogs regularly on her own site about the crazy town she lives in and all the crazy inhabitants. Now, I've been trying to get her to get greener for years, but it has been a struggle…and a lot of times she has a point. Leave it to Blaire though, to find the most silliest eco story out there to justify her use of a plastic bag every time.

Together, we make the SuPaks, the Two Sus, the Two Paks... he's my brother and my roommate and my closest ally (awwwww!). He's also one of the most eco-intelligent people I know. He was talking about Earthships before Dwell magazine, before the fancy TV shows. Suhyun is my brother and one of my best friends.

They've been making payments on a plot in so the entire Pak clan (all 4 of us) will be able to be together in the after life. They don't find this depressing or morbid, they discuss these arrangements as if they were buying a used Toyota.

We both hosted a talk show when the Oxygen Network first launched. It was a two-hour live daily talk show, so you can imagine how much time we were forced to spend with each other. Thankfully, she's the funniest, sweetest, meanest person I've ever met. She may not be nice all the time, but she will always be honest. And I'd rather have that any day…Nice is overrated.

I recently read an article about a California middle school principal banning energy drinks from campus. See, by first period, a 13-year-old student had already consumed a can of Rockstar and a can of Redbull, which totals to about 3 cups of coffee.

(Ines makes the Gerber baby look like a Garbage Pail Kid.) And as we're cooking a meat-less, but delicious and protein packed lunch (see Kirsten's 15 minute lunch recipe below), she introduced me to the concept of "food miles"—or the amount of miles and energy it takes from pitchfork to dinner fork.

Not the singer, but two of my closest and most eco-reluctant friends. Adam rolls his eyes when I ask if he knows how many wine corks go into landfills or when I put my garbage in my purse if there's no recycling bin nearby. He'd much prefer it if I stuck to the topic of Britney Spears and her spiraling madness. Adam is one half of the amazing duo, Ryan Adam.
