All these tree houses have roofs! When I build a tree house it barely even has something that resembles a floor, much less walls, windows and electricity. (I want to live in a tree.)

Every time we go to the grocery store we get really stressed out over picking the right vegetables, trying to get things that are local and in season, and calculating how many over-priced organic items we can actually afford. Next time we hit the produce section we’re taking this helpful listicle from The Daily Green [...]

Being militantly green is getting difficult these days and not because of opposition, but because of green trendiness. Yes, “green is the new black”, and just about everybody claims to be environmentally aware without fully understanding what that means.
To show us what it really means to be a green-blooded environmental activist, TreeHugger has compiled this [...]

We once had a friend who simply couldn’t understand how people could empathize with animals and their suffering. So we’d try to tell him about cute baby seals getting clubbed, super-smart dolphins being caught by tuna trawlers, friendly dogs with abusive owners and manatees being killed by boat propellers, but nothing did the trick.
We figured [...]

Those movie-going environmentalists over at TreeHugger have compiled a helpful listicle that could just as easily read “Top 5 Food Movies of 2008.” For the year that saw the new localism go global (”glocalism”?) and widespread awareness of what’s at stake in the shifting debates over how we produce and distribute our food, it makes [...]

By now we’ve all see the Obamaguration satellite pictures, which brought home once again the tremendous power of the space-bird’s eye view. Of course, there are also the various creepy government surveillance possibilities of satellite imagery, but we feel those have been adequately explored in several Hollywood blockbusters. No, for us satellite images are simply [...]

For only the second time in these soon-to-be-over aughts, America had two different presidents in one week, giving the Interweb twice the fodder for more-or-less political list-making. Parsing through our online colleagues’ output for our weekly catch-up listicle Weekly Wednesdays, we came across a sampling of the most obscure policy points, tangential pop cultural tie-ins, [...]

For all our efforts to offer you, dear readers, as many environmentally-minded listicles as we can read, the greening of the Interweb is advancing at such a pace that we honestly can’t keep up with all the eco-friendly listicles.
What better way, then, to do justice to all the green listicles (”greensticles”?) than to dedicated this [...]

The slow, painful death of the airline industry spells great things for rail networks everywhere (even the one just proposed in California). No better time, then, to follow the green transporters at TreeHugger on a tour of the latest innovations in high-speed trains. So throw away that frequent flyer card, and get a glimpse of [...]

A few days back we informed you, dear readers, of some of the best briefcases to sport in these times of increased workplace mobility. Unfortunately, after sporting our much-adored bacon briefcase for a few days we noticed that people were rather taken aback by the strict business look of our bag.
Then it hit us, like [...]
