Simon Jenkins writes in the London Times Online: "The boom/bust in oil and house prices is, quite simply, good news, whatever the tangential pain. It shows that the good ship Gaia, planet Earth, is traumatising its passengers into husbanding its scarce resources." He points out that "Price always tends to bring supply and demand into equilibrium, if left free to do so within an intelligent regulatory framework."- so houses are becoming more affordable and people are driving less. ... http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/05/survey-oil-and-house-prices.php http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/05/survey-oil-and-house-prices.php Interact housing oil survey Tue, 27 May 2008 08:48:56 -0500 Most Huggable: Clean Diesel, Energy-Emitting Landfills, A Shaken China + More U.S. dealerships welcome cleaner, more efficient diesel cars.

A year ago we asked readers if we should go back to 55 MPH; while a plurality said yes, 57% answered other questions. Gas prices have doubled since then, and now the Sierra Club has jumped on the bandwagon. We run the same poll to see if attitudes have changed. See also 55 MPH: It's time to bring it back.

Win a Giftcard Part of my ongoing mission in life is inspiring people to grow their own food...be it veggies, fruit, or herbs. You don't have to have a large plot of land or live in the country to pull this off. I've grown 40 pounds of tomatoes on a patio in San Francisco. In that vein, whose got some great garden photos to share? As long as it is your own, it can be a garden full of growth, a new design, grown in the city, on a patio, in containers, in the country, etc. It can be from this year or years past. Share your photos and a little story. I'll throw in a $25 Discovery giftcard for 3 of my favorites. I'll make my decision June 22nd. You can post your images in the th forum highlights garden giftcard grow organic photos plants veggies Wed, 21 May 2008 12:20:23 -0500 Survey: Do You Eco-Travel?

For a recent business trip to New York, this TreeHugger biked to the airport, flew turboprop, biked while in the city and then home from the airport. It probably saved a lot of carbon over taxiing and jetting, but is by no means perfect. Have you changed the way you travel to reduce your carbon emissions?

IKEA doesn't show furniture at ICFF; it is mostly high-end and expensive. But you can bet IKEA has the place covered with designers checking things out; like TreeHugger, they are there to see the trends and where the market is going. We think our readers are interested too, but commenter Jason wrote : "Why is it every time furniture gets posted to this site, we have the same conversation? "Nice, but man is that too expensive." Maybe the editors should actually read the comments, and take the hint.

For those of us (me) who haven't heard of this, can you give us some details on the services you are using? They may not be available in all areas, but it sounds interesting.
