Photo via Cleantechnica While we’ve received a healthy influx of signs that the world’s heavyweights aren’t planning on diversifying their energy portfolios to any radical degree in the near future — China building a submersible to dive 7,000 meters underwater to explore for oil among them — there are still reasons yet to be optimistic. Take this for example: the CEO of the largest mining company in the world, Australia’s BHP, ha… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Image via Dispatch Politics Is such a thing even possible? The existence of climate change itself has clearly become a political issue, and the trend is only looking to deepen. Look, for example, at the current crop of Senate GOP candidates: Every single one of them opposes policy to address climate change , and nearly all of them question man’s role in global warming.

Image credit: Alan Cleaver (Creative Commons) When I wrote about UK Conservatives’ Big Society campaign as an alternative to Big Government, commenters were skeptical. Yet there has been a lot of (admittedly guarded) interest from grassroots green groups like the Transition Movement . After all, “think global, act local” has been a mantra of the environmental movement for decades. But ho… Read the full story on TreeHugger

The Guardian tells us that a controversy has been brewing in England over comments made by Richard Gillies—the director of retailer Marks & Spencer’s “Plan A” green initiative —about a “bug-ugly” eco-kettle that he had given up using.

The urban lore of the 70’s held that smoking oregano would get you high, and yes, I tried it. It definitely didn’t work. But though oregano may not be a great high, it turns out that this common herb has a lot of other medicinal properties, including curbing cows methane production by as much 40%. As cows are such a potent contributor to CO2 emissions, this is good news…. Read the full story on TreeHugger

The Los Angeles group is climbing the charts with ‘Like a G6.’ By Evan Leong Far East Movement Photo: MTV News Far East Movement ‘s newest single, “Like a G6,” which climbed to #11 on the iTunes charts this week, is a far cry from the underground lyrical rap they first began recording as childhood friends in Los Angeles’ K-Town. But it seems that the four-man group has found its niche in the dance music world, leading to gigs opening for powerhouses like Lady Gaga, LMFAO and Kelis in the last six months, and their upcoming Up in the Air Tour with Mike Posner. “For us, as artists, finding our new sound, you got to experiment, you got to try on new shoes till you find the one that fits and looks fly,” Kev Nish told MTV News. “We’re such big fans of music and hip-hop, so we said let’s try doing something different, let’s take something we’re a fan of and creating something new. That led us up to what we’re doing now. It’s us wilding out and feeling comfortable about ourselves in the studio.” Far East Movement’s new album, Free Wired, is due out on October 12 and features collaborations with Snoop, Lil Jon and OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder. “It’s [collaborations] all over the place in a good way, if you were to listen to our iPods right now, that’s what on our album,” Kev explained. ” Free Wired is a CD that you can put in at 6 p.m., right before dinner, till 6 a.m., right before breakfast. “People ask, ‘What genre is your music?’ ” he continued. “We like to say it’s our lifestyle, it’s our culture, it’s our fashion. Free Wired means you’re free to geek out, you stay wired all night, you stay connected. We’ll hit up a club, then after the club we’ll hit up the chatroom. It’s a free-wired lifestyle, fashion, sound.” And just as they don’t want to stick to one genre, they also don’t want to be labeled according to their ethnicity, despite what their name might imply. “We live a new world,” Kev asserted. “We live in a world where you live by your screen name. I might know more about the music you listen to, the sites you go to, before I know your last name or your heritage. We’re not out to represent any race, political thought, any religion, its just about making music and having fun doing it.” Related Artists Far East Movement

Photo: Wikipedia , Creative Commons But How Will Blue on Blue Look on Screen? James Cameron is nothing if not ambitious. Avatar was a triumph of cutting edge technologies (advanced motion capture, 3D cameras, computer generated characters and sets, digital projection, etc), but it might turn out to have been a walk in the part compared to the Avatar sequel. Cameron has apparently decided to have at least part of the action take place in Pandora’s oceans, and he has commissioned an ultra-deep-sea submarine that can rea… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Image: pdsphil, Flickr Could you get fired for riding your Segway to work? What if it needs a charge to get you back home again so you plug it in to your employer’s socket? Of course, you cannot answer such a question without a little bit of context. Maybe the guy parked his Segway in the boss’ office. Maybe it was just the last in a long line of provocations. But in this case, the context allows no such conclusion. The employee in question is a 41-year old computer technician, with 19 years of blemish-free performance. He rented a Segway t… Read the full story on TreeHugger
