When I think of car rallies, two big names come to mind: the Mongol Rally and the Paris-Dakar Rally. Although incredibly adventurous, they don’t really evoke images of eco-friendliness. But a group of British eco-enthusiasts have recently finished up their own environmentally conscious rally — Grease to Greece –just to show that a crazy road-trip [...]

This week’s Friday Photo was taken during sunset at Squaw & Papoose Rock in the Dark Canyon Wilderness Area in southeastern Utah. The area has a total of 47,116 acres and is protected by the Forest Service. Located near the town of Blanding, the area was once home to a small segment of the [...]

Unless you’ve been hiding out in a bomb shelter for the past year,  you’ve noticed that energy prices keep going up, and that fossil fuels are becoming scarcer and scarcer.   One of the most major incentives for the development of renewable energy in the private sector is concentrated on stimulating growth of solar power [...]

Justin Lemire-Elmore owns an electric bike store in Vancouver, Canada. But he’s not just motivated to sell them, he is committed to showing that he can cross Canada on one of his bikes using only $10 of electricity. On Thursday night he crossed into Saskatchewan, meaning he’s made it through two provinces and has [...]

My favorite part is biking with the chicken who lays the eggs used to make waffles… an ingenious and sustainable project (well, maybe not the Aunt Jemima waffle mix part). [...]

Fall is just around the corner and winning a Marmot Gravity Jacket would certainly help out your autumn wardrobe now wouldn’t it? The jacket is Marmot’s best-selling soft shell; highly wind-resistant and waterproof yet stretchy with adjustable Velcro cuffs, a DriClime lined collar and chin guard, and lots of pockets including a zippered handwarmer pocket. [...]

What a better way to kick off your Labor Day Weekend than a trip to the 2008 Maryhill Festival of Speed IGSA World Championships. It’s downhill skateboarding, inline skating, street luge and gravity bikes all in one place; basically, as the website points out, “a speed junkie’s paradise.”
Between today and Sunday the 31st you can [...]

Steins of craft beer, yodelers, and accordion players… sounds like Germany. Actually it’s Portland’s very own Widmer Brothers Brewing Oktoberfest. Organized as a tribute to the world-renowned celebration in Munich Germany, Widmer’s version of Oktoberfest might be on a slightly smaller scale but it certainly isn’t lacking in spirit — that’s hard to do with [...]
