these growing rings by Iclandic designer Hafsteinn Júliússon are the ULTIMATE clash of couture and organism. they need to be watered/trimmed regularly and come in little greenhouse jewelery boxes. if a boy gave me a growing jewelery promise ring (a la zack/kelly in season 2 ) and told me it was symbolic of our growing love i'd stop the world and melt with him.

An emerging group of individuals who call themselves "Guerrilla Gardeners" are organizing clandestine gardening ops to improve the conditions of public green spaces. The group started in London and is part environmentalist, part political activist, and part garden-loving.
The gardening special covert ops typically take place in the middle of the night to avoid detection although they are supported by most local groups. Richard Reynolds, the so-called Guerrilla Gardening ringleader, aims to "make more out of the land...whether it's about creating food or beautifying it."

Take £30 million, create 250 jobs and end up with "tens of thousands" of new electric vehicles in the UK. This is the plan of the new company Liberty Electric Cars Ltd.
Liberty announced today that it will be converting many currently-existing large luxury cars and 4 x 4s (SUVs) into electric vehicles - starting with Range Rover models - and sell them for between £95,000 and £125,000 ($187,000 U.S. to $246,000). Liberty Electric Cars made the announcement at the Eden Project Green Car Show.
The battery technology that Liberty will use in these luxury EVs was not disclosed, but it will be "state of the art energy storage and management systems" that will give the vehicles "extended driving range and shorter recharge times." On the electric Land Rover, that means a range of around 200 miles. Whatever the system looks like, Liberty says it will offer the technology to other automakers. ETA on these expensive rides? N/A. More details after the break.
