Satellite photo taken May 24th, 2010, by NASA. Photo: NASA , CC. This Story is Far From Over! The bad news about the BP oil spill aren’t over. Researchers have taken soil samples from the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico and discovered that a lot of the oil that some thought had evaporated or dissipated has actually just settled on the sea floor.

Images via Yanko Design Designer Muhyeon Kim has created the “Insic Wall Socket” — an outlet that lights up to tell you just how many watts you’re pulling from the grid with whatever it is you just plugged in. The idea is that by instantly seeing how much power we’re using, we’re encouraged to unplug energy hungry devices as quickly as possible. We’d also become more savvy about how much energy we really use during the day, as well as what devices are surprisingly big energy hogs. But while it has its obvious benefits, does an outlet like thi… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Photo via zappowbang Lawmakers have started taking a stronger stance with electronics manufacturers, requiring them to accept more responsibility for the end-of-life handling of the gadgets they produce. The recent noise in New York between city and state officials and manufacturers helped set the stage for other states to push companies into pulling their weight in the recycling of electronics — the long-term effect of which cou… Read the full story on TreeHugger

All photos: Biomega Puma The Puma Bike family, (as designed by KiBiSi, manufactured and sold by Biomega ), has a new sibling. The Mopion is an urban cargo bicycle with a bit of twist. It has large cargo capacity, approaching the likes of a Long John style bike, yet packages it in a frame more closely resembling a stretched out version of the more traditional diamond frame city bike. This hybrid combination of bike designs should mean it will heft loads of gear or groceries more easily than than y… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Photo via kalleboo A common complaint about cell phones is that there is no universal charger — if you don’t have the one that works specifically for your phone, well, you’re just out of luck when your battery dies. It’s not only a hassle for cell phone owners, but it’s a huge problem for e-waste as the chargers become useless when the corresponding cell phones are tossed aside for newer models. But progress toward a more environmentally responsible (and plain common sense) solution for a universal charger that works will all phon… Read the full story on TreeHugger
