Total lovefest for the holy matrimony between the Joby Gorillapod SLR-ZOOM and the Panasonic AG-HSC1U.

This month’s Smithsonian contains some food for deeper thought on the subjects of carbon sequestration and bioplastics. But, I’d rather sink my teeth into algae, instead of corn kernals and 50-foot tall machines.

There is a new girl crush up on the media radar in Lara Logan. She recently sat down with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show to criticize the MSM’s abysmal coverage of the war(s) in Iraq/Afganistan/Iran. Oh, by the way, she’s stunning, South African, passionate and well-spoken. In a time when the working media is [...]

Approximately 500 billion plastic bags are produced each year and the UN Environment Program estimates that there are 46,000 pieces of plastic litter in every square mile of ocean. But there’s good news from the Great White North. For his science fair project, 16 year-old Daniel Burd of Waterloo, Ottawa figured out how to biodegrade [...]

Surprise surprise, an oil substitute made from pig waste smells like crap. Also, when it floods in the mid-west, corn commodities get hit hard.

Should have gone with [...]

More slimy, green goodness in the news. Valcent CEO Glen Kertz is back in the lime light, talking with Mike Schneider of Bloomberg TV about algae-based biofuels.  Somebody get this man a speed date with Uncle Moneybags already! Then there’s the prospect of turning algae into…[wait for it]…ethanol…using seawaterl!? Ok Algenol, if I had an [...]

Grape juice, cow manure and unicellular algae are all ‘plausible’ feedstocks for future biofuels, according to alpha-mythbuster Jamie Hyneman. Old tires, dirty diapers and raindrops? Not so much. [via Mother Jones]

I’m looking forward to the day when I can slather anything and everything with a nano-thin mixture of solar cells and OLEDs. I want the GRL on this, stat! Throwies 2.0? Spreadable electronics? Bring it. [via EcoGeek]

Thanks to Mr.Green for further debunking the myth that biking is less energy efficient than driving. Best liquor vs. ethanol analysis I’ve read yet.
