Earth2Tech has released a really cool map they’re calling Earth2Tech’s 101 Cleantech Startups. The map allows you to see where some of the coolest green startup companies are located and the industry they’re involved in. May be an interesting place to start if you’re looking for a green career.

The company has also released maps for the Biofuels Deathwatch and the Coal Deathwatch.

Greenbiz is reporting news from Beaverton, Ore., that Nike has teamed up with Phoenix Suns guard Steve Nash to produce a shoe that is mostly made from manufacturing waste and other materials that would normally be discarded.

The shoe is part of a bigger ‘green’ initiative that Nike is working towards that would allow their footwear to meet sustainability standards by 2011.

Nash was planning on wearing the show during the NBA All-Star game on Sunday.

“Any opportunity to promote the environment and preserve our planet is a step in the right direction”
