Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

As usual, we’re overflowing with things to tell you. We just can’t help it! So let’s spill.

Joining the hot debate over biofuels is Frances Cerra Whittelsey over at Alternet’s Environment section: she’s keen to point out the environmental cost of a meat-eating diet. Point taken.

You might have noticed all eyes are on a certain event in China at the moment. What you might not know is that there more than a little green-promoting going on. Grist tells all.

What’s…that? Call Mulder & Scully. Call Orson Welles. Call somebody. No, wait – it’s just a clever display of how adaptable LED lights can be. (Well spotted, Planet Pink ‘n Green).

Now, we know the real reason for the Internet is to show us videos that make us laugh. So drop what you’re doing (it’s not as important) and watch the 10 Funniest Green Viral Videos (via via Huffington Post).

Cool new word of the day: "Culanthropy", coined by Marc Masala in his report over at The Ethicurean on the rise of the Culinary Corps.

With gas and food prices rising, everyone’s tightening their purse strings, as they have done so many times in recent history. But as Donna Freedman ponders at MSN’s Smart Spending, will it sink in this time, or will history "continue to rhyme"?

Now this is more like it. Forget overgrown flip-flops: what we need is garden furniture – as in furniture made out of the garden. Inhabitat has the details, but we saw it here first.

The Green Web Awards 2008 have taken place, the judges have voted – and here are the results. Sponsored by Nigel’s Eco Store. We were happy to see some folks we know made the cut.

Oh dear – and here in the U.K. we thought we were doing so well. As EnviroWonk reports, instead of reducing emissions, we’ve actually been exporting them – and when the carbon-under-the-carpet is taken into account, our emissions rose by 18% this year, despite the British Government claiming otherwise. A point to the greenwashers.

Let’s hope we’re heading for a human-powered future, channelling our frantic to’ing and fro’ing into batteries to power the next generation of gadgets. Mike Steere looks ahead in this illuminating article for CNN, with a killer first line – the perfect antidote to lazy TV-watching. Ladies (and gents), how interested are you in green gadgets and technology? Would you like posts sharing helpful gadgets and techy tweaks to save you money or live greener? Indulge your geeky writer and let me know!

Have a great weekend.
