Greenpeace in the UK started a wonderfully clever competition to create a new logo for BP in protest of their investment in the Alberta tar sands; events overtook them as the gulf spill became the poster child. And this is the company that was once going “beyond petroleum.”… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Steve McCallion writes a remarkable series in Fast Company asking “Why has Memorial Day, like so many of our national holidays, been reduced to appliance sales, fast food specials, and vacation deals?” He starts with Reinventing Memorial Day: Beyond the Mattress Blowout Sale : In this era of convenience and instant gratification–when mobile screens hold more interest than parades; when regulations are needed to prevent texting while driving; when TV idols are created in the time it takes to sing a song–it’s difficul… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Joel Pomerantz at one of his stops along the Wiggle Walking Tour photo: Bonnie Hulkower I have friends living in San Francisco who would ride a bike in midtown Manhattan but won’t get on one in San Francisco. When asked why, considering that SF is such a bike friendly town, I often hear the same reply: the HILLS! For many of these people hearing about “the Wiggle” transformed their lives. The Wiggle is the flattest route going from East to West San Francisco. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Along with questions about whether “out of sight, out of mind” is really better, there are serious concerns raised about depositing huge quantities of dispersant chemicals … Read the full story on TreeHugger
