Being a bit paranoid, he constructed an extraordinary three quarters of a million mushroom-shaped bunkers. That presents a lot of opportunity for creative repurposing and reuse. Fabrizio Gallanti of Abitare shows some of the more interesting ones; some have been turned into restaurants, used for makin...Read the full story on TreeHugger

The German travel company Rotel Tours goes one step further, and puts a capsule hotel on wheels. Tourists sit in the front by day, and move to the rear at night. ...Read the full story on TreeHugger

It is too big to stop at any port in Europe; it holds 6,300 passengers so they had to rebuild a terminal to handle them all, with ninety check-in stations. They were able to squeeze them all in with an architectural trick from John Portman's Hyatt Hotels in the seventies: make an atrium. It is like two hotel towers stacked on a barge. It is the Las Vegas of the seas, with seven "neighborhoods" of ice shows, theaters, rock climbing walls and surfing simulators. And they call it green....Read the full story on TreeHugger

He's in school for a Masters of Science in Environmental Management. I like to wax poetic about the benefits of ecotourism. Cancun, the infamous Spring break destination (thanks, MTV!) known for over-developed hotel strips, excessive water usage and lackadaisical waste management hardly makes it to any greenie's get-away list. Little did I know that Cancun, home to the Yucata...Read the full story on TreeHugger

The Banggai crow was thought to be extinct, and only found in a museum. A Michigan State University species sleuth recently confirmed the existence of the black bird on a remote, mountainous Indonesian Island. The only problem now: The bird needs protection. It looks a lot like a more common slender-billed crow called the Corvus enca, and the endangered version is being hunted by local residents. ...Read the full story on TreeHugger
