Chelsea Flower Show For Children: Edible Playgrounds This charming garden shows how a school could create a small kitchen garden for children. By planting, watering, composting, harvesting and then cooking what they have grown, children are able to develop a better understanding of where food comes from and the impact of the environment. It is sponsored by Dorset Cereals which makes a healthy muesli-like cereal. The programme started in San Fra... |

Rocket Powered Bike For Sale For TreeHuggers interested in assisted bikes but finding the battery powered electric units don't have quite the zing you are looking for: Robert Maddox of Medford, Oregon is selling a rocket powered bicycle on eBay. It has absolutely none of the benefits of a regular bike, spitting out 140 decibels of noise and consuming a lot of kerosene, but goes like a bat out of hell. I suspect that the car... |

Leanwall Provides Support In Public Spaces As Mick almost said, We all need something to lean on, so Maruja Fuentes of San Juan, Puerto Rico, developed Leanwall for public spaces. It is composed of two molds made of recycled ABS plastic that are identically shaped. These pieces fit together like a puzzle. Together, they can transform a space, creating infinite patterns. They can be used either individually or in a composition. We are al... |

Roasting Biofuel Crops Like Coffee Beans Could Boost Energy Yield By 20% Two British engineers have discovered a novel technique that could help make biofuel production cheaper and boost the energy content of some crops by up to 20%. The process, called "torrefaction," consists of slowly heating biomass in an inert atmosphere to a temperature of 300°C; it yields a solid product with a lower moisture content, minimizing transportation and storage issues. While it'... |

Green Star Creates Breakthrough Micronutrient That Boosts Algae Growth First Generation Biofuels Need to Go While an almost universal scientific consensus is developing around the downsides of first generation biofuels (f.ex. corn ethanol), entrepreneurs and scientists are working on biofuels that require less energy inputs to make and don't compete for agricultural land with food crops. One of the most promising feedstocks is algae, with which biodiesel can be mad... |

Small Lot Prefab From Resolution 4 When we last looked at a modern prefab from Resolution 4, we got a particularly loud round complaints about it being a big second home and therefore not very green. Visiting Joe Tanney in his New York office, I asked if he had anything small, green and urban that I could show and not take so much abuse? Joe explained that while they build their work in a factory to get the advantages of prefabr... |

Canadian Geographic June Issue To Be Made With Waste Wheat Straw Paper Making Paper from Waste Wheat Straw Some talk the talk and walk the walk. The June issue of Canadian Geographic is their annual 'environmental' issue, and it will be completely printed on paper made from wheat straw. They are the first magazine in North America to do that. They call the resulting paper the "wheat sheet." It took more than 10 years to scientists at the Alberta Research Council t... |

Joey Roth Demonstrates His Sorapot Designer and occasional TreeHugger contributor Joey Roth brought his Sorapot to ICFF; we love it because it turns tea time into showtime. As Joey said in an earlier post: "I’ve always been entranced by small, beautiful things that are so detailed, they seem like miniature worlds, yet so ordinary they’re often left unnoticed. I designed Sorapot to emphasize one of my favorite- the unfurling... |

Big Blue Making Supply Chains Into Green Super-Models: No Floppy Disks Required. Tongue-in-cheek headline aside, we really like this idea of IBM's. Here's why. A progressive business generally initiates climate action in the following steps: making a corporate commitment and stating it to stockholders and the public; measuring the baseline GHG footprint at company-controlled sites; setting reduction goals for energy use and the GHG footprint (of controlled sites); implemen... |

Used Whiskey Barrels Get New Life With Uhuru Design TreeHugger is fascinated by the objects that good designers create from old objects. This often ad hocist-like approach has been exemplified in the work of Uhuru Design before -- we liked their "stoolen" and "love somebody" table designs from previous collections -- as they've found a great balance between showcasing their recycled materials and creatin... ... |

It\'s Official: Bay Area Passes Carbon Tax Image courtesy of http2007 via flickr Despite widespread national ambivalence about its merits, air pollution regulators in the Bay Area have overwhelmingly approved the nation's second ever carbon tax (Boulder, CO, was first) -- voting 15-1 to require companies to pay 4.4 cents per ton of carbon emitted. The tax will cover 9 counties in the Bay Area and will take effect July 1. Though a modes... |

Canadian Supremes Throw Out Fly-in-Water Case Windsor, Ontario hairdresser Waddah Mustapha became depressed and phobic after finding a dead fly in his Culligan water bottle. (who wouldn't?) So he sued the company and won, getting $341,775. The Globe and Mail notes of the first trial: Evidence showed that he became edgy, argumentative and depressed, could not sleep and refused even to drink coffee because it contained water. Obsessed with his... |

From The Forums: Housing Market Crash Good For The Earth? TheRainMaker: Living in Southern California, it's painful to watch track homes and big box stores taking over every remaining inch of natural coastal sage scrub and chaparral. I'm kind of hoping that the housing market slow down also slows down the rate that new developments are going up. Unfortunately, new housing and development is a sign of growth and I'm sure many are hoping for it to r... |

Graphic Of The Day: US Industry Sectors Most Affected By Climate Costs WRI has published this graphic as part of its recent report: Leveling The Carbon Playing Field: International Competition and U.S. Climate Policy Design A footnote indicates that 'bubble' size indicates the total CO2 emissions from the industry in 2002. Two thousand two is fairly close to what many would use as a "baseline." Take note of the highly climate cost-exposed sectors: chemicals, refi... |

Biojoule: Mobile, On-Site Biomass To Fuel Processing We’ve already noted that wood pellets are a hot item when it comes to climate-friendly heating, and we’ve even given a run down of our favourite stoves. Unfortunately it’s not all good news - we’ve also had to report that the housing slow down has meant a shortage of sawdust for pellet manufacture. This is where the activities of UK-based Biojoule may come in handy –... ... |

Student Watt Watchers Save Tax Dollars, Environment They may have to stand on tip-toe to read an electric meter, but when students on the Watt Watcher team at Hollydale Elementary in Oregon started leaving little red tickets in classrooms where the lights were left on or other energy wasting activities were observed the savings sure began to add up. Now it seems they’re keeping roughly $800 a month from being wasted on energy no one is around t... |

Saving Energy In Data Centers With Smart Sensors And Algorithms U.S. Servers and Data Centers Gobbled Up 61 billion kWh in 2006 We're now firmly in an interconnected and digital world, and that means lots and lots of servers. The EPA wrote a report for the US Congress about it in 2006, and they estimated that servers and data centers represented about 1.5% of total electricity usage in the country for that year. That's 61 billion (with a 'b') kilowatt-hours,... |

Cost Of Wind Power Turbines Is SkyRocketing Increase of 74% for Land-Based, and 48% for Offshore Wind Turbines For years we've heard about how a shortage of silicon kept solar panel prices higher than they would otherwise be. Just as we're expecting supply to improve in that field, we learn that wind turbines are getting more expensive. Not just a little, but a lot: "The price of offshore turbines rose 48 percent to 2.23 million euros ($... |

Greenpeace Breathe In, Breathe Out Video It's not a new ad by Greenpeace, but it's beautiful and we've never featured it on TreeHugger before, so here it is. The central message of the ad is quite important: oceans get too little credit for their oxygen production, as well as their capacity to absorb CO2. So the next time someone mentions tropical rainforests as "the lungs of the Earth", have a thought for poor forgotten phyto... ... |
