- Juneau in Alaska shows the US how to be energy-thrifty by reducing its own power consumption by 40% (reports Environmental Graffiti).

-Nike is greenest of the hastily greening-up big businesses, reports Grist. (Tip to the others: Just Do It, guys).

-Bamboo blankets and eyemasks for long-distance travel: we wantee too! (Thanks, Meg).

- The Re-Reused Bag, or the Reuseable Re-bag – or the ReTote…er, whatever it’s called, it’s a brilliant idea, and NotCot has the story.

- Make like Florence Nightingale with this energy-efficient LED lamp that’ll never singe or scald (Josh Spear lights the way on this one).
