I, greenUPGRADER’s own Doug Gunzelmann, will be embarking on a cycling trip that will take me across Brazil through the heart of the Amazon Jungle.

Daniel Beltra, a Spanish photographer, is traveling the world to capture the world’s three major rainforest regions. We have some of his amazing shots from the first leg of the trip… the Amazon!

I love some of the looks Nau is producing with their “Beauty, performance, sustainability” mantra. The ability to find a piece of high tech outerwear that is functional, stylish, and sustainable is quite refreshing.

At the very least entertaining, the Code-X Yacht is touted as a uber highend and environmentally friendly motor cruiser. It is propelled by either twin solar powered electric engines, driving this razor sharp machine 9 knots through the water, or the slightly less eco-friendly twin Ilmor marine combustion engines pumping out 790hp a piece for a top speed of 80 knots.

They're on my feet this very second and I am pretty pumped about it. They're totally comfortable, dope looking, made from bamboo, and durable. Wear them this Earth Day, April 22nd, for Element's Pick Up the Park 2009 Campaign.

Earth hour traces its origin back to Sydney Australia in 2007 (Earth Hour already happened there by the time you read this!) when businesses and residents turned off their lights for one hour to make a statement about energy use and global warming. Today is your chance to vote for Earth by [...]
The Salm brothers, Isaac and Jaime, of Mio Design have become strange bedfellows with none other than corporate giant Target. Mio emphasises “environmentally and socially progressive design” and hope to promote their ideas and accomplishments through Target.
