thanks NS for the articles and to let us know about the Vanity Fair article coming out. Super.
I was just skimming over the Vanity Fair article from the link you gave us. Kind of
about Julia Roberts being on the cover?? She is now an environmentalist?
Here's the quote:
"Roberts, an admitted latecomer to environmental concerns, is proof that it is never too late to start caring about the earth. Why the late transformation into environmentalist? A couple of 18-month-olds could do it to a person. “People think, Well, I won’t be here when the planet implodes,” she says. “But maybe your grandchildren will, or your great-grandchildren, or your great-great-grandchildren. And if you could give them one more day on earth, wouldn’t you do that for them?” Currently building a solar-powered home in California, Roberts believes that the little things make a difference, from the metal cup she uses when she goes out for coffee, to the grocery bags she returns to the store for a nickel, to her twins’ environmentally friendly Seventh Generation diapers. “At a time like the one we’re in right now, where you feel like government and big business are kind of the same thing, people feel like the die is cast,” she says. “So much has already been destroyed and done and you can’t go back. Well, we can go forward, in a different way.”
I'll give her credit that at least she is trying to do something about the environment, but to list her 3rd , and to give her all this article space, in comparison to Ali (listed 10th) and this is what it says about her:
"Ali Hewson, the driving force behind Edun Apparel (which she started last year with her husband, Bono, and New York designer Rogan Gregory), for bridging the worlds of fashion, environmentalism, and human rights by using organic products, paying workers a fair wage, and making sure workers are treated humanely."
I'm sorry, but does anyone else find this annoying? just because it's julia roberts. Go figure.

thankyou said:
oops, eiren, i didnt' get back to you sooner! sorry!
In a way he was saying the people of madrid have a big heart and big courage/gutts? (is that the right interpretation?) that's a nice compliment, even though he said it the "bonoway"
Yes, is that the right interpretation. Almost, these word is the first word which no-spanish people learn to say, jiji.

i don't have a scanner, but i just picked up the new vanity fair "green issue" mentioned earlier in this thread. ali is featured in a full page color photo (which was shot in killiney hill park).
this is what it says on her page:
The Green Goddess
Ali Hewson
Fair-trade clothing entrepreneur
Ali Hewson is gorgeously maternal, an alchemical mixture of dark, mysterious beauty (the corner of her lips, the orbit of her hips…) and down-to-earth, minivan-mum pragmatism. This is what makes her an ideal bridge between the worlds of fashion, environmentalism, and human rights – she’s an Earth Mother, but not in the dated, patchouli-funk sense of the term. As the driving force behind Edun Apparel – a clothing company she started last year with the New York designer Rogan Gregory (of the boutique jeans label Rogan) and her husband, U2 bombastier Bono – Hewson is applying the same ideas to chemises, jeans and dresses that conscientious shoppers and chefs have lately been applying to food: use organic products, pay your workers a fair wage, and make sure these workers are being treated humanely. Edun’s fair-trade clothing, which is made in Africa, India and South America, and is available in the U.S. at Barney’s and Saks, is a step forward from the aid and debt-relief campaigns for which Hewson’s husband is known – it is compassionate capitalism, creating jobs in developing nations and promoting environmental awareness to boot. In her quiet way, Ali Hewson elevates our souls.
