George Monbiot says you don't set targets in an emergency, you act.

Duke Energy Corp. is reportedly discussing with BMW Manufacturing Co. the potential for building a solar energy plant at the car company's Spartanburg South Carolina USA facility. Well, isn't that a German sort of response to US government pressure?

Despite the fact that Venice, CA seems to be the epicenter of SoCal's green lifestyle movement, the 24th annual Abbott Kinney Festival that took over the city's main drag on Sunday, September 28th was far from eco-friendly. After claiming last year

What happens when you give a futuristic cloth-like material designed for BMW coupes with a bevy of design students and funding from one of the world's leading

At TreeHugger, we've been big fans of car-sharing services for a long time. ZipCar has long dominated the field, pushing the envelope recently by adding hybrid vehicles and expanding into new

Electric vehicles have come a long way in the last few years, steadily gaining acceptance as a practical and sustainable form of transportation. This is especially true in cities, where most trips are short and space is at a premium.

It appears that drivers of fancy cars are more likely to go through pedestrian crosswalks

The BMW i8 is now in production, and final i8 details have just been unveiled.

Actually, a bit more than 100%.

Test out your green car awareness by seeing if you can name the 2014 World Green Car of the Year. Note: it has to be a new model.

The EPA has just released official "fuel economy" and range information for the BMW i3 100% electric car.

In a funny twist, one of the stars of an extremely popular car show (Top Gear) whose script smeared Tesla is now going electric. James May is getting a BMW i3.

In addition to metrics like ecological footprint, each of us (and each of the products and services we use and consume every day) has a carbon footprint; it's a way to measure the relative impact of our actions -- as individuals, as businesses,

For as long as our planet has spun 'round the sun, there's been solar energy cascading down on the earth, and, for a long time -- since the 7th century B.C., when glass was used to magnify it -- humans have been working to

My word of the year is a little geeky this time around, but it crosses over -- and unites -- fields.

Resolve to make these simple changes month by month as a graceful way to ease into a more sustainable lifestyle.

End goals for CO2 emissions are just one part of the picture. How fast we start moving toward them is just as important.

Up until now, only solid materials have offered the ability to capture materials using the filtering power of pores

Minimizing your footprint is nice. Maximising your impact is better.

In what is said to be a first for automakers, Ford is developing foams and plastics using captured carbon dioxide, which could be integrated into the company's vehicles within five years.

A technology developed at a national lab for improving carbon capture at power plants may be able to help craft breweries capture and reuse CO2 from their fermentation processes, while also slashing costs.

Run on waste heat, this commercial facility is the first of its kind in the world, extracting CO2 from the air and piping it to a greenhouse farm to grow veggies.

Cars are killing us, and it is time to limit the damage to drivers and to people around them, just like we did with smoking.

Evonik and Siemens announce two-year project to demonstrate feasibility of "technical photosynthesis" using eco-electricity to convert carbon dioxide into valuable chemicals

Brad Plumer looks at the issue of "outsourced pollution."

Natural materials are the only ones that sequester carbon rather than produce it.

Everyone is worried about population growth, but in fact it may well be going the other way.

If the world is to move onto a sustainable path we need the market to tell the truth, through full cost pricing.

Agriculture has become the single largest driver of climate change. It's time to start farming for the whole planet.

And there are plenty of humans who would agree.

Women are more affected by climate disruption worldwide, so their voices must be heard.

Today is Earth Overshoot Day, but it's not exactly something we should be celebrating. It's actually a wakeup call for humanity.

Demographers are complaining, but Americans have many good reasons for not wanting so many kids.

Annual growth will soon be negative everywhere except Africa.

It's not revising up its official targets, but the government is hinting that it may now achieve 225 GW by 2022.

Pollinator power, y'all.

Many vegans don't realize that there's 'meat' in their electricity supply.

The Bay Area needs affordable housing. And it needs clean energy. A new campaign supports both.

In a double breakthrough, scientists find a material four times more efficient at making hydrogen by photocatalysis and demonstrate how to make it at low temperature

Move over, regular solar panels.

Primary energy consumption was down, too.

For those who say it's too difficult...

There's symbolism here. Let's hope there's substance too.

Buying products from solar farms is just one more way to support clean energy.

Now that's progress...

It's an important inflection point. But a lot of work still remains.
