Where in the world are eco-loving city dwellers? Grist, a great site for environmental news and humor, has put together a list of the world’s fifteen greenest cities and we took notice. Topping the list is Reykjavik , Iceland. Congrats to the Land of Fire and Ice! Other cities on the list include Portland , Vancouver , Copenhagen , Sydney , and Barcelona .

So visit and take a deep breath, because you can.

How cool can you look while throwing out trash? The answer is pretty cool. In fact, downright awesome. Watch this YouTube video to see some serious can-chucking skills. These guys make tossing empties a new pastime.

It’s a far cry better than littering, but I just have to ask; were all of those cans thrown in recycling bins?

As temperatures dip, it’s time to bundle up. For playing in the snow or braving the cold to get to school or work, there’s eco-friendly winter wear. Try a fleece hat created with recycled materials, nettle scarf, and eco wool gloves.

And, once at your destination, a cozy sweater can help keep you warm and the heater on low. Winter has never been so green.

Don’t miss your next Facebook friend request because it’s buried in your inbox. Organizing email messages can keep you up-to-date, uncluttered, and eco-friendly. Each email message that sits in your inbox takes up a small bit of space on a server in order to store the information. As these messages add up, the space they take up grows. So, each time you delete an email from your Yahoo! Or Google account, it helps reduce overall CO2 output by a tiny amount. Ask yourself: Do you really need all those old Evites?

What are you doing on March 29th at 8pm ? That’s right; I didn’t think you had made plans already. Take out your pens (no penciling in this event) and mark your calendar for Earth Hour. What is it? For one hour, people around the world will be turning off lights, TV, and any other electronics.

Meet up with friends and find something fun to do on a Saturday night in the dark. Check out the Facebook event page for more info.

Fashion Week may have come and gone in New York , but green fashion is a year-round pursuit. The stylish bloggers over at Ecorazzi recently wrote about the “Pick Your Cotton Carefully” campaign.

Picture twenty supermodels in eco-friendly t-shirts.

Want to hear more? Top designers have created shirts made from organic, fairly traded cotton as part of a project with the Environmental Justice Foundation and the models will be photographed in the T-shirts to promote the campaign.

You can buy these shirts on the EJF website. Past supporters have included KT Tunstall, who you can check out in the video section of the MTV SWITCH site to see her Global Cool interview!
