Carnival of the Green #92

Bank Holiday Monday here in the UK and this week's 'Carnival of the Green' is found at Greener Magazine. What caught my eye this time is the interesting suggestions of how to reuse old newspapers for gifts. Very inventive.

Al Gore Gets Current

Al Gore is a bit like marmite: you either love him or hate him. He nearly became President, won an oscar for 'An Inconvenient Truth' and was behind the recent Live Earth event. One thing not focused on nearly enough in the media is his new initiative to democratise media: Current TV. Stephen Armstrong at Sublime magazine recently interviewed Al Gore about his current activities and Sublime have kindly allowed us to reproduce the article. Enjoy.

Carnival of the Green #91

This week the 'Carnival of the Green' is hosted by Green Options and I am astounded to learn  via EcoGeek about the potential for crowd farms i.e. harnessing the power of pedestrian steps. Imagine that?
