Weekday Vegetarian: Use Up Your Less Than Perfect Strawberries with this Strawberry Bread

Posted on June 16, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Photo: Kelly Rossiter I had a big dinner party last week and I served fresh strawberries in chocolate cups for dessert. As usual, I bought too many strawberries, and we had lots left over. They were quite ripe, so eating them before they went bad was proving to be a bit of a challenge.

Tam may be one of the most eligible bachelors on the planet right now, but still his friends are having a hard time finding him a date. He’s just one of an estimated 10 to 30 Borneo rhinos left in the wild and it may be up to him to keep his species from extinction–but only if a fertile female can be found. So far, efforts to track down that lucky lady have failed, though conservationists have their eye on one gal in particular. With estimates giving the rare rhinos a mere ten years before extinction, the race to find Tam a mate is as urgent as ev… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Why Own Any Mode of Transportation? Peugeot’s Mu Covers Them All

Posted on June 15, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Peugeot started building bicycles in 1882 and cars in 1890, so they have a bit of a history in different modes of transportation. TreeHugger has been excited about car-sharing setups like zipcar and bike-sharing systems like Velib; product service systems like this let people have transportation when you need it rather than owning it when you don’t. Now Peugeot takes it one step further with “Mu”; They will supply you with anything you need, from a bicycle to a scooter to a car to a van, with options like child seats and rooftop boxes. It is coming to the UK next month, and the Telegraph looks at the pluses and minuses…. Read the full story on TreeHugger
