Image credit: Pasty Muncher I’ve been thinking some more about why individual environmental action is not enough . It’s not just that the metric for success—personal reductions in our impact, as opposed to collective—is on the wrong scale. It’s the wrong metric too. We are spending so much time worrying about how to reduce our impact, and be less bad, we are loosing sight of the fact that we can’t just slow the destruction. We have to reverse it too. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Image via the US Coast Guard According to a Rasmussen poll , not all Americans are angry with BP, despite the fact that the company has put thousands of people out of work, and the still-uncontrolled spill in the Gulf . In fact, a full 22% evidently still view the oil giant favorably. Which to me, is a pretty surprising number. It’s not that I expected everyone to immediately… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Image credit: Ladislav Kamarad The eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano temporarily shut down Europe—and put Iceland squarely on the front page of newspapers around the world. It also highlighted the fact that Iceland—in spite of the many glaciers covering the island—is hardly a frozen monolith. Indeed, it’s a country defined by an ever-changing and dramatic landscape.

Salt in a so-called “healthy choice” meal; New York Times graphic Nobody is going to argue with the fact that salt makes food taste better; One reason fast food tastes so good is that yummy combo of too much fat and salt. Everyone from Michelle Obama to Michael Bloomberg are trying to get us to eat less of it, so the salt industry is pushing back, hard. According to Michael Moss in the New York Times , they are using a strategy of “delay and divert” because “they crave salt a… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Image from makeshift Much to the joy of environmentalists, in its first week the new coalition government i n the UK announced that the third runway at Heathrow Airport was being cancelled. Last autumn, unaware of this twist of fate, Greenpeace had held an architectural competition asking architects to design an impregnable fortress to block the runway. Despite the fact that it won’t be b… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Joe Cocker, Paula Abdul and other random guests can’t distract from a lackluster season nine. By Jim Cantiello “American Idol” wrapped up “The Season of the Girl” by handing the “Idol” crown to a boy. Season nine really was as inept as we all thought. Sorry Lee DeWyze and Crystal Bowersox , but Wednesday night’s two-hour finale was really all about Simon Cowell . With the exception of David Cook and Adam Lambert , most of the past “Idol” favorites showed up — even ones Simon supposedly hates — to say goodbye to the guy who helped make them moderately successful. (Some crackpot audition rejects also performed with Dane Cook. It was supposed to make Simon squirm, and he did … along with the rest of America.) Then Paula Abdul returned to the “Idol” stage in a bizarre appearance that can only be described as part roast, part intervention. “Idol” producers booked lots of special guest stars from the ’70s and ’80s to duet with the top 12: Alice Cooper, Chicago, Joe Cocker, Darryl Hall and John Oates, the Bee Gees. It was one Charo away from being an episode of “The Love Boat.” Producers also double-dipped into the ’90s Relics bin by inviting Alanis Morissette to duet with Crystal on a G-rated “You Oughta Know” and Christina Aguilera to perform with the top six girls for six seconds before booting them from the stage so should could sing her new 18-minute-long ballad. The only contemporary artists were previous Idols. A very fierce Carrie Underwood served up “Undo It” and Kris Allen rocked his new single, “Yo, Seacrest, Your Microphone Is on During My Performance and That’s Annoying.” Kris was also on hand to give Lee and Crystal their new custom-designed Ford Fiestas. Interesting side note: The Ford Fiesta is a fraction of the cost of the cars Kris and Adam won last year. Even the sponsors realized this season sucked. The night’s biggest surprise was Casey James and Bret Michaels’ duet. I’m still not sure what was more shocking: the fact that Bret Michaels was onstage even though he’s still recovering from a life-threatening brain hemorrhage, or the fact that Casey James was one of the best performers of the night. After Janet Jackson showed off a short, slicked-back ‘do and General Larry Plant and William Hung showed off a lack of shame, Seacrest announced the winner the way Maury reveals paternity tests. Lee DeWyze, you ARE the father. Do you agree with the results? Do you think a girl can ever win “Idol” again? What was your favorite moment of the two-hour finale? Leave a comment below, and for more “Idol” insanity, follow me @jambajim. Get your “Idol” fix on MTV News’ “American Idol” page , where you’ll find all the latest news, interviews and opinions.

Well, Lee DeWyze won American Idol ‘s ninth season. There he is crying for us all, and it’s not enough. I’m doing my modified Nancy Kerrigan-in-intense-pain impersonation, personally. “De Whyyyyyyyyyy ze! De Whhhhhhyyyy ze!” I caw. Ugh. That conclusion was a billy club to the knee. You could say the show’s ninth season was its worst yet ( I know I did. ), but a Crystal Bowersox win would’ve rectified some of the angst. Instead, Idol served a lukewarm DeWyze victory at the end of what was an otherwise tremendous finale, and now the whole 120 minutes reeks of an abandoned paint store. I said it. Fear not: There’s plenty of good for all of us to discuss from last night’s celebration — namely a ranking of the evening’s top 10 performances. By the time we’re done, we’ll make our decision about Idol ‘s real winner. Haterade on tap!

It’s tempting to say Katherine Heigl is a polarizing figure, until you remember that for something to be polarizing it has to be equally loved and loathed. And when it comes to Heigl, people either tolerate her or want to send her into outer space on a one-way ticket. If you’re in that later group, the fact that she’s a legitimate movie star has to sting just a little bit — don’t even try to fight that one, she is — but the trailer for Life As We Know It might ease your pain. Spoiler: It ends with Heigl getting poop on her face.

“It wasn#39;t exactly planned,” Laura Ling, 33, tells us of the pregnancy, “but you get separated from your husband for five months, not knowing if you will ever see him again and certain things happen!” The child is due in a few weeks – and Laura and husband Iain Clayton, 43, couldn#39;t be happier. “We feel like this child is a miracle,” she says. “I had pushed [motherhood] off for so long, I was so focused on my career, even though I knew my husband was ready.
