Give a toast to the environment with that week’s tips for finding (and making) light-on-the-planet beverages.
Tip #2: Stock up on the cold stuff
The dog days of summer signal for ice by the bucket. But relying on a refrigerator’s robotic ice maker–which uses heaters and additional energy–can supersize the environmental impact of your drinks. Making ice in trays, on the other hand, requires little more energy than what’s aly being used to drop the freezer’s temperature. Of course, letting ch…

Forget doubloon-heavy shipwrecks–trees are the new sunken treasure. The harvesting of submerged trees in Ghana’s Lake Volta could reduce reliance on the country’s tropical forests, which are currently being logged at the rate of 1.9 percent per year.
Robert Bamfo, the head of Climate Change at Ghana’s Forestry Commission, announced recently that the salvaging of rot-resistant hardwoods such as ebony, wawa, and odum would commence in October. The underwater logging project will be carried ou…

Drinks made with organic, local, and seasonal ingredients can get even greener whether served in recycled glassware. certain, nixing single-use plastic cups is a step in the enviro direction, but why stop there when eco-minded designers now give you such chic alternatives? The Wisconsin-based Green Glass company offers simple, colorful wine glasses, goblets,…

Are American cows becoming junk food addicts? As corn prices soar, some meat producers are supplementing their herd’s grub with cheaper foods, such as potato chips and M&M’s, reports the Wall Street Journal. Adding an odd twist to a complicated issue, the cows’ new diet could be another example of the biofuel effect. Sierra magazine details the recent backlash against biofuel, as developing countries and corporate giants blame U.S. subsidies for corn ethanol for increased food prices world…

Tip #4: Find your DIY styleYesterday we rounded up ways to serve up drinks in glasses made from recycled windshields, bottles, or plain old second-hand cups. Today we’re rolling up our sleeves and scrounging for materials that can be transformed into cool, green coasters–instead of being sent to the landfill. (If a DIY project requires too many never-used materials, it probabl…

He’s no Lance Armstrong, but he’s doing his part to put cycling in the spotlight. David Byrne, best known as the Talking Heads’ front man, is leaving his artistic mark on New York City one bike rack at a duration. Asked by the Department of Transportation to judge a creative bike rack contest, Byrne submitted a few of his own designs. The Byrne originals were installed, and the contest winners will debut in September.
While bike rack art certainly isn’t confined to New York City (the image a…
