Designed by architects Emilio Ambasz & Associates, the Acros Fukuoka building in Fukuoka City, Japan houses a number of offices, retail space, a 2′000 seat theatre and a museum.

It was built on the last available green space in the city so the design needed to keep as much of that greenery as possible whilst still delivering a building big enough to hold the necessary facilities.

The result is an amazing building which from the back end appears to be a normal glass fronted construction. it’s only when you approach the other side that you see the huge sloping front, home to around 35′000 plants and 76 different species. The roof also enables the building’s energy consumption to be lower than other buildings of a similar size as the greenery keeps the inside temperature at a comfortable level.

The sexiest guy I have ever been intimate with is a free-spirited tree-hugger. This favorite playmate of mine (who use to work for Greenpeace and currently teaches urban kids about sustainable energy) knows how to shake my tree, if ya know what I mean. Anyway… needless to say, I find people with a "green" mentality to be very hot lovers.

Environmentalists haven't always been considered sexy… but they should be. Why? Because they not only know how to satisfy and respect their lovers, but they do it while respecting nature. Now, I'm not saying you have to go out and have a wild, sweaty, hot love affair with a hippie, but there are a few things you can change about your sex life that can help out Mother Nature.

I, personally, have always been somewhat of the resident tree-hugging environmentalist here at Eden, but it seems I am not alone. All across the nation people are becoming more conscious about the issues concerning nature and pollution. America is finally catching up to the "green" movement that has been growing across the world. If you have been living under a rock for the past six months, a little documentary featuring a former US Vice President has brought issues of environmental importance to the forefront of national debate; issues which have not been ignored by the consumer marketplace. All this talk about hybrid cars and "green" products has been intergraded into all forms of industry, including the production of sex toys and adult novelties.

EdenFantasys.com have a great selection of sex toys and other adult products, which are environmentally friendly. This means the companies have consciously decreased waste produced by the products, or the product itself is biodegradable and will eventually return to the earth in a natural manner (not hang around in landfill for the rest of eternity).

The simplest way you can help nature while helping yourself… STOP USING BATTERIES. Batteries contain some pretty toxic materials, none of which are particularly good for the planet and frankly, not good for you should they spring a leak. They are not biodegradable and will simply take up residence in a landfill or, worse yet, their chemicals will pollute if the outer shell is breached. If you get as much use out of your vibrators as I do, then you might want to save some money and the planet by purchasing a rechargeable or electric powered vibrator.

Taking care of the planet is not only smart and economical, but it's tremendously sexy. Nothing turns me on more than an earth conscious lover who wants to play with my "green" sex toys!
