fed up with skiing?

We know the polar bear are facing extinction, but what about the Inuit? (Some may still refer to them as Eskimos.) the Guardian travel pages features an article on a vacation where you can go and live with the Inuit on Baffin Island, Canada. I can never decide whether people/lifestyle tourism goes a step too far, but it's on offer for anyone who's interested in learning how to build their very own igloo.

stickers to save trees

These Come From Trees has come up with a way of reducing paper consumption - sticking a "these come from trees" sticker close-by. Paper towel usage was reduced by around 15% when these stickers were put on the dispenser. Each sticker therefore saves one tree. Wow. Go on, buy a pack of stickers, spread the message, feel the green glow.

green tees

Feeling like spreading the green message? TreeHugger t-shirts at cafepress are all full of inspring green messages - I particularly like "do the right thing. we won't tell anyone". I didn't check if they were on organic cotton though.
