Treehuggers may get .eco domain of their own - TECH.BLORGE.com
There are already a slew of green Web sites online using .com and .org domain names as appropriate. What benefit is there in mixing the nonprofit organizations with the green gold rushers?

If this move is approved, many of these green sites will feel compelled to buy a second domain name to protect their namespace. They also wouldn’t want to appear as if they’re not supporting ‘the cause.’

However, the result of this cause is likely to be more servers in a data center somewhere soaking up electricity and raking in the cash for Krueger and company. Or maybe this could result in a Hollywood blockbuster where Al Gore and his Dot Eco friends crusade to fight global warming and sell merchandise.
Dallas Libertarian Examiner: Politicalspeak 101
Politicogenic – In the same sense that "anthropogenic" means "human-caused" and is routinely found as an adjective preceding such phrases as "global warming," "climate change," "pollutants," "methane emissions" and "greenhouse gasses," the term "politicogenic" means "politician-caused" and should rightfully be frontloaded onto words and phrases like "inflation," "war," "loss of freedom," "energy crisis," "starvation," "genocide" and so on and on and on.

Envirogenic – A term meaning "Death by Environmentalism," i.e., an international ban on DDT that has allowed 50 million people to die from malaria since 1972, branding bio-engineered crops that resist harsh climates, insects, diseases and don't need chemical pesticides as "Frankenfood" while millions starve worldwide, demanding high-mileage cars which require smaller and lighter construction which increases highway fatalities, and et cetera.
