  • Sustainable Dave

    Science Buzz Dave Chameides keeps all the garbage he creates in his house and blogs about it to point out all the mindless trash we generate. Reading the Time profile on this guy has seriously made me reconsider all the trash I generate just from drinking bottled water.

  • Waterless Car Wash

    Tech Buzz Instead of wasting water to wash your gas-guzzler this weekend, you could try a waterless solution. These environmentally-conscious non-water options haven’t really caught on amongst the nation’s fund-raising cheerleading squads, for obvious reasons. Hard to get into a soapy water fight with a spray-on cleaner.

  • Push Reel Mowers

    Tech Buzz With gas prices so high, the low-tech push reel mower is making a comeback. I don’t care that much about the gas savings, I just think push reel mowers are classy. Or you could go with the solar-powered robot mower, if you trust robots (note: you shouldn’t trust robots).

  • Bamboo Laptops

    Tech Buzz Just in time for Earth Day, Asus announces a new PC with a bamboo case that will be released in June. Here’s something that ecogeeks, techgeeks, and pandas can all get excited about. Mac users will unfortunately miss out, but I don’t know any pandas that are Mac users anyway.

  • Polar Cities

    Science Buzz Could polar cities be the fallout shelters of the climate change era? In a development that could be a major boon to the fleece industry, a group of futurists, scientists, and planners has proposed building sustainable campus-like villages throughout the Arctic hinterlands to save us from the coming environmental apocalypse. Construction on the first will begin in Longyearbyen, Norway, in 2012. If these plans are carried out, the incidence of polar warfare seems certain to rise.

  • Green Sex

    Culture Buzz Green is sexy these days, so it was probably inevitable that eventually people would start offering tips about how to make your sex life more green. Ideas include all-natural lube, eco-undies, biodegradable condoms, and environmentally friendly sex toys. Some are even suggesting the old-fashioned DIY approach to dildos—after all, you can’t get much greener than a cucumber.

  • Plug-In Hybrid Cars

    Science Buzz Plug-ins are hybrid cars 2.0: Charge your car overnight to drive on batteries only for a short range, after which the gas/electric motor kicks in. With hydrogen power still a long way from widespread viability, plug-in cars may be the next logical step in lower-emission vehicles. Leonardo DiCaprio probably already has several on order.
