the green lantern The Green Lantern on The Green Lantern Is it more eco-friendly to see movies in a theater or on DVD? By Brian Palmer Posted Tuesday, June 14, 2011, at 7:08 AM ET The Green Lantern opens in theaters on June 17. How does Slate's Green Lantern recommend watching it? Is it more eco-friendly to catch the movie in a theater or to wait for the DVD? In a theater if you can walk there, but on DVD if you'd have to drive. At least, that's the Lantern's best guess. It would be nice to divide a commercial cinema's total energy consumption by the number of moviegoers, compare that with the energy consumption of a home theater, and declare a winner. Unfortunately, none of the theaters the Lantern contacted was forthcoming about their energy use. Either they're not tracking their consumption or they don't want to disclose it. In any case, the information vacuum means a lot of speculating and an uncertain answer. To continue reading, click here. Brian Palmer is a freelance writer living in New York City.

Letting God’s light shine through you June 14, 2011 “In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16 Several years ago, some West Point cadets were sitting in their dorm room discussing all kinds of issues. It was one of those late night sessions where they were talking about anything and everything. So the subject of Christianity came up and they asked the question, “What is a Christian?” And as they began to bat around the idea a bit, one after another gave his opinion on what a Christian is. After a few hours of not really getting anywhere, one young cadet stopped the conversation dead when he said, “A Christian is Charles Jones.” Now, Charles Jones was a fellow cadet who was known for his kindness and willingness to go the extra mile for others because of his faith in Christ. I wonder how that conversation would go if your friends were having a discussion over coffee and asked, “What is a Christian?” Would anybody mention your name? Are you so identified with Jesus Christ that people know who you are and what you believe? Being a Christian is more than just lip service. It’s living your life in such a way that others see a difference in you. So as you go throughout your life, let others see God’s grace and love in you! LET GOD’S LIGHT SHINE THROUGH YOU BY LIVING YOUR LIFE SO THAT OTHERS SEE HIS GRACE AND LOVE IN YOU.
