Here are a few that I like from this collection of environmental artwork by various artists who connect "two aspects of Finland, the natural landscape (forests, grasslands, snow and ice, etc) and the presence of myth and legend."
Jonna Pohjalainen, Color Pencils
Martti Kukkonen, Countryside can be imported 2: Red cottage and potato field
Jaakko Pernu, Parasol

[This coin-operated lamp designed by Jethro Macey is "the first product in a range based on the concept of values and reward, it subtly heightens awareness of consumption through design."

Combining the nifty technology behind the Google Maps application with the social networking phenomenon, the Sundance Channel created a focused platfrom, called "Eco-mmunity Map" that connects people, businesses, organizations, and tree huggers all over the US to orchestrate and coordinate and exchange information about their "green" efforts. If you don't know "green" by now, then you really have been living underneath a rock (a very polluted rock at that): Green symbolizes a global identity underscoring an eco-revolution, which basically means we all need to stop treating Mother Earth like she's Tina and we're Ike.
Check out the website here and say hi to Al Gore. Or browse it for hot "green" chicks with small carbon footprints. Oh yea.

I'm obsessed with the groundbreaking Discovery Channel series "Planet Earth." What makes this nature show particularly fresh is the innovating and inventive cameras they utilized to capture really amazing videos of the wild. While watching it this past Sunday, I kept a short running diary of my thoughts on what I was seeing (it's all a bit out of context in retrospect here):
Gazelles are motherfucking fast.
Go penguin, go! Run goddammit!!
How the hell do they do the spanning time lapse camera work?
OUR PLANET IS pretty magical and breathtaking and yet, still very alien.
The Arctic Fox is so freakin' cute, I want to toss it into a deep fryer. But how does the fox find the eggs it hides in the ground later?
Damn the music! It sometimes make me tear up a little. JUST a little.
