Defeated Ohio Gov. Strickland’s ‘Shadow Government’ Comment Ignored by Ohio Papers

In a Tuesday item, the Politico's David Catanese reported on the results of an interview he had (HT to Third Base Politics ) with outgoing Ohio Governor Ted Strickland, who was defeated by Republican John Kasich earlier this month. It was billed as “his first one-on-one interview since his loss,” the first for a sitting Ohio governor in 36 years, so you would think anything particularly controversial Strickland might have to say would be news elseswhere. Well, here's an obviously newsworthy comment (in bold), especially considering what came just before and after it: read more

The "No Make-Up Challenge" Shows Gorgeous Faces Without Toxic Goop

Images via No More Dirty Looks No More Dirty Looks is a book and website we’ve covered on TreeHugger before.

The 20’s Plenty for Us Campaign (Video)

Roads in Residential Areas Should be Safe for All In residential areas, lowering the speed limit for cars not only reduces the number of accidents, injuries and deaths, but it also revitalises the neighborhood by encouraging more people to walk and bike. When people feel safe on the streets, they use greener forms of transportation more often. That’s the main argument of the 20’s Plenty for Us campaign in the UK, and looking at the results in areas where the 20 MPH speed limit was implemented, it looks like they a… Read the full story on TreeHugger
