Shigeru Ban mixes it up next to Arthur Erickson’s Evergreen Building on Vancouver's Coal Harbour

Worried about wood? Brock Commons Tallwood House is probably one of the safest buildings anywhere.

High rents in the city prompted this young woman to look for an alternative -- in a van conversion.

I wish them luck but there are a lot of complications.

There are just a few small problems standing in the way.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has released its fifth assessment report (AR5), which surely must be one of the most important science documents of all time.

A new report examines the environmental and health impacts of consuming animals products.

A visual breakdown of emissions by country and industry.

We usually don't like to point out the negative aspects of things here on TreeHugger, but when it comes to New York's just ended Fall Fashion Week, I am forced to ask, "Wha' happened?"

Fashion designer and Planet Green contributor Cree McCree has found a source for pelts to use in her fashions that is arguably one of the most sustainable - nutria, a large invasive rodent. The animals are killed by hunters and

It is now 2011 which means Fashion Week in New York is just around the corner. Making news abroad, Norway has banned fur from the biannual Oslo Fashion Week, Ecouterre reports (via Huffington Post) making them the first country to

An ad by the European Fur Breeders' Association will not be allowed to run again after the advertising watchdog, ASA, ruled it to be misleading.

Fur farming was banned on UK soil in 2000, but imports are still allowed, which activists say simply 'outsources' the cruelty.

A new study is the first to identify and analyze the level of food waste for actual households.

Wind turbines, solar cells, wave power. If you think these are newfangled technologies, think again. They were fangled long ago, and their story is the meat of Alexis Madrigal's new book, Powering the Dream. Madrigal (a senior editor at The Atlantic and

An inventor has been awarded for his novel technology for generating energy with waves.

Scientists have developed a piezoelectric speaker that can playback the full frequency range of dolphin sounds, getting us closer to human-dolphin communication.

By 2050 wave and tidal power could supply 11% of current UK electricity demand.

Wave power is a promising source of clean energy, but it is usually overlooked because wind and solar power are farther along.

The Crown Estate is Britain's largest landowner, and it owns an awful lot of coastline. It is also very interested in the potential for marine power.

The wave glider created by Iquid Robotics has passed quite a test for robustness. It coasted through the superstorm and provided real time weather data nonstop.

Wave power is the oft-forgotten cousin of solar and wind power. It has huge potential, but it is not quite as far along as the better known sources of clean power, so it tends to be overlooked.

The company says this system is simpler than other wave devices that need to be finely tuned to the waves to pick up their energy.

A new kind of hybrid generator promises to double the power output for the same surface area, by also harvesting energy from ocean currents.

A student at Wake Forest University is testing wave energy technology for capturing the power in pool laps.

This promising source of clean energy is facing an uphill battle.

When you think about it, it's really Moon power!

The Norwegian ship has been given a new clean energy life.

The new wave energy harvester will be utility scale and tough enough to need little maintenance, even in rough seas.

The wave energy generators would help to both generate power and dissipate the power of the waves crashing against the shore.

While we've seen many celebrities jumping on the green bandwagon, we've also seen them doing it for the real deal. Many have been eco-conscious for years--some are just realizing how important it is to promote a sustainable

Late last month, when officer Shelley Hammonds of the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency received word of an animal in distress, it might have sounded like a routine rescue operation. Witnesses described

The delicately hued petals and striking brown florets of Tennessee's purple coneflower once seemed fated to live on only in description, or as a ghostly sketch yellowing on the page of some dusty botanical volume, yet today it's

Why are we eating cardboard-like cereal and bland yogurt when we could be having a sensational meal?

The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico reached an important milestone this Tuesday afternoon when BP started their 'static kill' procedure to seal the oil well, and the good news is, that it seems to be working -- so far. In other green news, the

This week's photo roundup includes a sculpture made from living cherry trees, an artist catapulting LEDs into the sky to make stars, and more.

We've featured a lot of treehouses on TreeHugger, but the plans for this one are a little different: Ten cherry trees will be planted in a circle, and pruned and bent over time to form a unique, two story sculpture.

Innovation may be a fundamental part of
