Get Dirty for the Planet at NYC's Kimpton Hotels

For some, saving the earth is about eating local, planting a tree, getting your hands dirty. For others, it's a dirty martini.

Two of the Manhattan Kimpton Hotels---70 park avenue hotel and The Muse--are doing an eco-friendly promotion that mixes earth and olives (no, not in the same glass!)

If you order a Dirty Eco-Tini at either hotel, they will kick back a percentage to the non-profit Trust for Public Land.

The Trust believes in the power of places like the neighborhood pocket park, of spaces that serve as urban lungs for fresh-air kids, and everyone who has ever sought shade under a leafy tree-lined street in the hot summer. They even preserve wildlife habitats, rural land, and playgrounds and community gardens in low-income neighborhoods.

So do your part and sip a Dirty Eco-Tini -- it's got organic olive juice, olives, and a healthy splash of Square One Organic Vodka. The price tag is $16, a little high, but remember that now through July, the entire cost of the drink goes right back to the Trust.
