"Instant Karma: The Campaign to Save Darfur," the new global "Make Some Noise" project from Amnesty International, seeks to mobilize millions around the urgent catastrophe in Darfur, Sudan.

The 100-Mile Diet

Their 100-mile diet began as a way to reduce dependence on the fossil fuels sucked up by the conventional food system, which sees food travel an average of at least 1,500 miles from farm to plate. But in the end, Alisa Smith and James MacKinnon realized that what began as a struggle slowly transformed into one of the deepest pleasures of their lives. For the first time they felt connected to the people and the places that sustain them.

Tons of Free Music

The Daytrotter Sessions: Recorded live at Futureappletree Studio One in downtown Rock Island, Ill. Some of the biggest indie bands swing by the studio, e.g. Cold War Kids, Of Montreal, Dr. Dog, and more, swing by the studio to use borrowed instruments, play with their touring mates, and leave behind four absolutely collectible songs (downloadable for free! and they keep archives so you don't have to check in every week) that often impart on whomever listens to them the true intensity that these musicians put into their art, sometimes with more clarity than they do when they have months to tinker with overdubs and experiments.

I love this bear!

Knut, who was rejected by his mother upon birth, is the first polar bear to be born at the Berlin Zoo in 30 years. He was raised by a human in an apartment for the first few months of his life. Awesome!

Wedding Attire

I found the perfect outfit for Jack, who will most likely be my ringbearer.

Save the Devil!

Australia is working to save the Tasmanian devil from extinction. According to Grist magazine, the carnivorous marsupial is dying out on its eponymous island, plagued by a contagious cancer. Scientists have sent nearly 50 of the beasts to zoos and want to move 30 more to nearby Maria Island, a former prison site that's now a wildlife sanctuary. Who knew they were so cute?

Rolling Stone magazine has matched up the best four scenes from this legendary collision of creativity. Say goodbye to the strain of pressing two play buttons at once!

Disgust Yourself

Every now and then I get in a mood to watch a really gross, scary movie. The last time this happened was when I saw Saw, probably two years ago! Next time the mood hits, here are two films I wanna see.

What's Happening to the News?

Drawing on more than 80 interviews with key figures in the print, broadcast and electronic media, and with unequaled, behind-the-scenes access to some of today's most important news organizations, FRONTLINE correspondent Lowell Bergman examines the challenges facing the mainstream news media, and the media's reaction, in "News War," a special four-part series.

Great graffiti.

Save Darfur

Did you know that 2.5 million people have been driven from their homes in Darfur, Sudan? Each day, they face threats that are hard for us to even imagine including rape, disease, and starvation.

These people need our help to put an end to the genocide and they need it NOW.

Please join me in taking the first step to stopping the violence.

Sign the Save Darfur Coalition's petition urging President Bush and the UN Secretary-General to take immediate steps to stop the killing.

Together, we can make a difference in the lives of millions of people in the region who desperately need outside help.

We Are What We Do

It's made of cream canvas, costs a fiver, and is just fine for those little shopping trips. We Are What We Do has published two books since its birth in 2004. The first, Change the World for a Fiver, has sold 750,000 copies. The second, Change the World 9 to 5, released in September, is also recording huge sales. They list "actions" to improve our environmental, community and personal behaviour, such as "Smile and smile back"; "Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth"; and "decline plastic bags wherever possible". And now comes the bag.

A similar idea comes from the UN's World Food Program, where the purchase of one burlap sack = 1 child fed for 1 school year. The bag is available in April from Amazon.
