Ecoporium
Created by: petaj
Pronunciation: echo-pour-ee-um
Sentence: I went to the ecoporium today. I needed to assuage my guilt from overconsumerism and fear of global destruction by indulging in some retail therapy. So I put some pure wool gloves, knitted by hand in the Gobi Desert, sailed across the ocean and delivered by Prius to the shops. I put them on my carboncredit card.

You have to watch out that those carboncredit cards don't catch a light a burn a hole in your pocket.
