Image credit: ResilientPLANET Yesterday I posted about the new film from the creators of the End of Suburbia . This time around, the focus is on cities—and how cities can adapt to future shocks from peak oil, climate change, food shortages and heaven knows what else might be thrown at us. No word yet on when the film itself will be released, but select material is beginning to appear on YouTube, including an interview with Rob Hopkins, creator of… Read the full story on TreeHugger

In Toronto , the new Mayor thinks roads belong to trucks and cars , and thinks bike lanes slow them down. He calls bike lanes and streetcars a “war on the car.” In fact, there is some evidence of exactly the opposite; in many cases, a person on a bike might otherwise be taking up road space in a car.

Photo: catm It’s a Brit thing: every Christmas there is a race to see which group will have the top single of the Yuletide season. In past years, SImon Cowell has pushed his X-Factor winner to the top. Last year musicians got fed up with the commercialization of it all and issued a rival song which won. This year another group, called Cage Against the Machine , is trying again to counter-act the commercialization of Christmas with a silent grassroots alternative.

Photo: Flickr, The U.S. National Archives , CC If there’s one broad group of activists that that is consistently and criminally under-publicized, it’s the still-growing community of evangelical environmentalists . They may go unrecognized due to the fact that the outlets (like this one) that traditionally cover green activism don’t quite know what to make of them, and mainstream media tend to relegate coverage to what amounts to a handful of novelty stories.

Photo via antijoe The Faucher family in Deleware has an affinity for holiday lighting, or rather, an obsession. The family decorates their house with a whopping one million lights. If your jaw dropped open, we’re right there with you. The total cost of their energy bill at the end of the month is an estimated $82,300. That’s the cost of running the whole show for four hours a night through the month of December.
