Men.style.com has a slide show of 16 cool eco-friendly things from the BP gas station above to a hybrid Porche to a green cafe in Brooklyn.
This also could be part of the obnoxious commercialization of green as in green dollars, you be the judge.
"Sure, it's dedicated to retailing liquefied hydrocarbons, but as far as gas stations go, BP's Helios House in L.A. is pretty darn environmentally friendly. In addition to its eye-catching design, the John Picard creation features several notable eco-themed innovations, including a roof that collects rainwater, a garden planted with drought-friendly greenery, and copious use of solar panels—even the bathroom tiles are made from recycled glass. There's also a cell phone recycling center to get rid of those landfill-poisoning handsets. The only thing missing? A bank of sockets to plug and recharge that electric car.
Helios House, corner of Olympic and Robertson, Los Angeles." Link
