Fri, 28 Oct 2005 13:27:09 GMT

Halloween is a time to revel in our shadow side, the person, thing or idea that we simply can not express in the confines of our "real life." ... Read the full story on TreeHugger

Instant Survey: Halloween

With Halloween quickly approaching, our minds are turning to the inevitable Trick or Treaters that will be knocking on our doors. Treehugger.com has featured several articles on organic and fair trade alternatives to traditional candies we give out to the children in our communities.

Instant Survey: Trends

Mon, 24 Oct 2005 11:32:39 GMT

Some would consider sustainability and environmentalism nothing more then a trend that will subside given enough time. Just take a look at the article Fads are so Yesterday, comparing sustainability to the blog and iPod phenomenons. We'd like to know our readers opinions. As always, please feel free to comment below. ... Read the full story on TreeHugger

Instant Survey: Pets

Fri, 21 Oct 2005 10:47:35 GMT

In the last survey, posted on Wednesday, we asked our readers their opinions on keeping animals in zoos. Several Treehuggers use the opportunity to express their opinions about on keeping animals as pets. These comments got us wondering what our readers think of keeping animals as pets. Some would say that whether or not you agree with the principle, man-kind has been domesticating animals for so long that there are species that simply wouldn't survive in the wild. Others would argue that it's inhumane to keep pets regardless of how the idea came to be. We'd like to know your thoughts. As always, comments are welcome below. ...

Instant Survey: Zoos

Wed, 19 Oct 2005 10:53:45 GMT

Treehuggers everywhere seem to differ in their opinions when it comes to zoos. Those who support them argue that they're a valuable source for teaching the public about endangered species and their habitats while also offering those species protection and helping them get off the endangered species list. Opponents of zoos argue that it goes against an animals right to keep it in captivity, no matter what the reason, and that animals should be left in their natural habitat. While we know it's a hard choice to make, we'd like to know what your feelings are on zoos. As always, comments are welcome below. ... Read the full story on TreeHugger

Instant Survey: Through Hikers

Mon, 17 Oct 2005 12:26:27 GMT

Marcia and Ken Powers recently became the first couple to hike the transcontinental American Discovery Trail in one continuous trek. The couple hiked 4,900 through 13 states in little less then eight months. Some consider them to be eccentric beatniks on the fringes of society and yet others consider them to be folk heroes, spreading the word about the trail, nature and the environment. Treehugger wants to know what your thoughts are. ... Read the full story on TreeHugger

Instant Survey: Indoor/Outdoor Types

Fri, 07 Oct 2005 11:45:05 GMT

Most people assume that if you are especially concerned about the quality of our environment you must be the "outdoorsy" type. It is true that many TreeHuggers developed an environmental ethic based on extraordinary experiences in nature, but that may not mean that we continue to pursue outdoor recreation. We're interested in knowing where our readers stand. As always, comments are welcome below. ... Read the full story on TreeHugger

Instant Survey: Technology

Wed, 05 Oct 2005 10:50:18 GMT

One of the great environmental debates revolves around the effectiveness of the "technological fix" vs. the "social fix." Proponents of the former believe that technological ingenuity will not only help us recover from current environmental damage, but could also usher in a fully sustainable future. On the other hand, there are those that argue that policy and enforcement are the keys to repairing and protecting the environment and that technology just ups the ante (consider Monsanto's "sustainable agriculture" for example). Clearly, as with all realistic solutions, it will take a multi-faceted approach (thus no "both" answer below), with that in mind; ... Read the full story on TreeHugger

Instant Survey: Sustainable Media Solutions

Mon, 03 Oct 2005 12:46:12 GMT

Treehuggers often face internal struggles when it comes to making the greenest, most sustainable choices. One contemporary example is electronic media. With the near unlimited options for getting media on-line from sources like Netflix, Peerflix and iTunes, it seems that our local video and music stores might start suffering. We all want to shop locally and support our community, but what about that fact that the media itself is environmentally unfriendly? Being able to download any CD, DVD, or video game and play it on our computers affords us the ability to completely do away with the wasted paper, plastic and metal required to create that media in the first place. Everyone wants to do their part to support their community and sustainability, so what's a Treehugger to do? As always, we encourage comments below. ... Read the full story on TreeHugger

Instant Survey: Guilty Pleasures

Fri, 30 Sep 2005 12:16:21 GMT

All Treehuggers have those guilty little pleasures that aren't exactly winning them the Greenest Person of the Year Award. Whether it's watering the lawn, shopping at the mall, missing the car pool once in a while, or something else equally as sinful, we'd like to know what your secret pleasure is.

Zero energy houses, prefab buildings, off-grid energy production and high-capacity rain water collection are some of the more impressive strategies for reducing a home's ecological footprint. We're interested in knowing how many Treehuggers actually own homes of this type, or are in the process of building or remodeling one. As always, comments are welcomed and encouraged below. ...

Instant Survey: Intelligent Design

Mon, 26 Sep 2005 10:49:57 GMT

Today in America, the theory of evolution is once again being challenged in federal court, nearly 80 years after the Scopes Monkey Trail came to end. This time, the debate is over 'intelligent design', the idea that life on Earth is so complex the only way to explain it is that an intelligent being had a guiding hand in it's design. Critics believe that intelligent design is simply creationism by another name, and most scientists dispute the idea. We're interested in knowing what Treehuggers think about Intelligent Design being taught in public schools. As always, comments are welcome below. ... Read the full story on TreeHugger

Instant Survey: Grocery Shopping

Wed, 21 Sep 2005 12:00:02 GMT

As Treehuggers, one of the more simple things we can do to help create a sustainable future is to purchase sustainably produced foods. Buying organic is a great choice, but it can be both expensive and/or difficult to find; buying locally grown food (http://www.localharvest.org/ ) is another great way to support a sustainable food system, even if locally grown food isn't organic it can help keep small farmers in production, farmers who may one day choose to grow organically. We're curious to know where Threehugger readers are shopping for their food. As always, comments are welcome and encouraged below. ... Read the full story on TreeHugger

As a lifestyle filter we're constantly throwing all kinds of cool websites at you. It can be distracting to keep "backing" up to find the original TreeHugger post.
