Cycling is a huge part of urban life already, and – as gas prices climb and the desire to be more ecologically responsible becomes more mainstream – it is becoming an even huger part.

Photo credit: Eero Liesimaa I wish there was a Nudge in every city. It’s a whole new way of shopping, or actually, it’s not just about shopping, but rather about living, and style. Nudge is the new eco lifestyle experience, which consists of a shop, a showroom, a consultancy and a meeting place where you can exchange ideas on how to live better or let yourself be inspired by others. Where is this you might ask? In Helsinki, Finland, where Nudge opened its doors this week, with furniture designed by

photo: S. Novak Last week the USDA and DOJ met to discuss the current face of the livestock industry. The picture is grim.
