Hip News and Finds

  • Hybrid car sharing comes to St. Louis. Jillicious sent along an article about WeCar, a hybrid car sharing program now available in downtown St. Louis, Missouri. The program was started by Enterprise Rent-A-Car and provides members with a hybrid rental car for a low hourly rate.
  • Cross off your list. List Universe has compiled a list of the top 20 beers that should be tried at least once.
Hip News:
  • Lutz the Putz.**Warning: PG13 content.** D Magazine recently quoted General Motors CEO Bob Lutz saying, "Global warming is a total crock of sh*t". Don't hold back, Bob.
  • Where's the beef? Recalled. The USDA has recalled 143 million pounds of frozen beef from a slaughterhouse that is being investigated for mistreating the cattle.
  • Buzz kill. Haagen-Dazs is warning consumers that disappearing bee colonies in the U.S. could result in fewer flavors of ice cream and higher prices.

 

Teenie Weenie Greenieā„¢

Sew easy! This week's Teenie Weenie Greenieā„¢ was sent in by Brianna. Make your own reusable bag by recycling your old t-shirts. Grab an old t-shirt, cut out the neck, cut off the sleeves, and use a sewing machine to sew a straight seam across the bottom. Now you have a reusable bag shaped like traditional bags but is much sturdier.

The Dirt on Clean Coal

Dori and Val dive head first into our favorite oxymoron, "clean coal". Check the links below for more information on this hot topic.

Listener Emails

Once again, we have a bunch of great listener emails. Keep 'em rolling in at hip@greenfeet.com. And don't forget to post articles, links, and speak your mind at our MHTH forum!

  • Holy Cacao! New listener Chiara in Finland sent along an article from the New York Times about milk chocolate making a comeback among chocolate connoisseurs.
  • There's no such thing as "away". . is what Ari Derfel set out to prove when he decided to save all his trash for one year. Laura sent along a link to this blog, which has stories, pics, and FAQ's of Ari's one year journey.
  • Nuclear power: a hot topic. Brian sent along a couple of links relating to the recent MHTH show on nuclear power. The first is an article about the effects of radiation called Is Atomic Radiation as bad as we thought?. The second is about a mini nuclear reactor made by Toshiba that can be used to power homes.
  • Food-safety fight. Charlie sent along an article about Ben & Jerry's fight to make it known that their ice creams are free of bovine growth hormones. A group of farmer's backed by Monsanto are pushing for labeling changes saying that hormone-free labels imply that the milk is safer than others, when they say its not.
