Green Lantern to the environmental rescue

So this week I'm publishing articles about science fiction and environmentalism on the other SF Fandom blog. I'm publishing related articles on this blog as well. Tody's article is Galactic green police. This article continues the theme of how people can take action to help the environment -- and science fiction fans get in on the action now and then.

Green Police poster calls for science fiction fans to get involved with environmentalism.

I like the idea of using Green Lanterns as "green police". I went looking for good Green Lantern costume pictures and found a few.

You might wonder what the connection is between Green Lantern and environmentalism. I don't know how closely tied he is to the cause, as I stopped reading comics decades ago. But I shared some memories in this week's articles.
