Images via Yanko Design We’ve seen solar in strange places for gadgets, including directly embedded on gadgets like laptops and cell phones. That’s not the most ideal location for solar power because it means leaving an electronic device in direct sunlight, which no owner really wants to do. Another alternative is solar cells sewn into clothing — but even that can turn out badly, as

Images by B. Alter Called the View Tube, this stunning cafe is made out of lime green recycled shipping containers. Perched on a hill overlooking the site of the London 2012 Olympics, it is a cafe, a look-out and a gallery space. It is also much more: a social enterprise, serving as a focal point for the arts, environmental classes, local artists as well as an education centre for the community….

Image via BornRich I’d have to say, I’m not so sure I would. Not that the Scubster might fail, but that my legs would before I could resurface. Minh-Lôc Truong and Stéphane Rousson, a team of French designers and engineers, are apparently more sure of themselves than me as they’re currently building a pedal-powered personal wet sub, and will be entering in next year’s International Submarine Race . So far, it’s more than just hype, having successfully completed its… Read the full story on TreeHugger

White-rumped vulture, photo: Lip Kee Yap via flickr Some hope for three species of endangered Indian vultures: Conservationists have successfully bred all of them in captivity for the first time. Considering that at current rates of decline–brought about in no small part because of a painkiller used in cattle (more on that below)–these vultures would be globally extinct within 10 years, the importance of this seems clear. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Photo: The Pico by Puma Bike “PUMA Bikes redefine and reinvigorate the city ride with a bit of radicalism and a whole lot of practicality. They fold, they carry, they cruise. They’re everything and more, packed tight in a sweet, colorful ride.” Well, that’s how the marketing types for Puma and Biomega see it anyhow. What we see is another entrant in the human powered, urban mobility market and that has to be a positive move. If it gets people out their oil fuel cars, then we can turn a blind eye to a little extra robust PR. And when it comes down to it, a couple of models do conveniently fold, while some can be o… Read the full story on TreeHugger

On June 26 and 27, Canada hosted G20 , the billion dollar party designed to show the country at its best — G20 leaders from around the world expected to find a clean, peaceful city laid out to welcome them, before sitting down to discuss the issues of finance and the economies. Unfortunately, the vision everyone will remember is that of the torched police cars. Find more of the images scorched into the memory of anyone watching this weekend here:

By the end of this year they are expected to have one and… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Image credit: SlapBcn /Flickr The 21st century began on an inspiring note: The United Nations set a goal of reducing the share of the world’s population living in extreme poverty by half by 2015. By early 2007 the world looked to be on track to meet this goal, but as the economic crisis unfolds and the outlook darkens, the world will have to intensify its poverty reduction effort….

Dow Corning Alex Wilson raises an important issue in Buildinggreen : It is not only important to insulate really well, but to also think about what insulation you are using. He makes the point that many insulations use potent greenhouse gases as blowing agents. He writes: We rarely pay attention to the fact that insulation materials themselves contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and global warming. This happens in two ways: through the embodied energy of the insulation (the energy use and greenhouse gas emissions that … Read the full story on TreeHugger
