This week at TreeHugger: Edward China's transformer furniture comes to life—not necessarily green but certainly multi-functional. TreeHugger holds up a lighter in tribute to some of the traveling bands that have made their tours greener with earth-friendly fuels and put other green acts on the venue. German automakers butt heads with the government over newly proposed emissions restrictions. Meanwhile, German street activists take the message into their own hands with a tactical balloon campaign, tragically sabotaged with misspelling—the work of right-wing counter-revolutionaries, to be sure.In Arizona, green fuel is actually green: an algae to biodiesel/ethanol project is dubbed "Emissions Energy Project of the Year". And at the Sundance Film Festival, Lexus builds an eco igloo and lures celebs inside to shmooze.
