A.M. Greenlist: Signs of green times

>> Internet dating service DateforTrees will plant a tree for each month you pay for its services. A small green incentive to keep looking without ever settling? (via grist)

>> Save some money and find your dates in trains. There are more fellow commuters to meet and mingle with, now that commuter rail ridership's way up in the L.A. area. Earlier: Subway Crush: Like Craigslist's Missed Connections, except for subways.

>> The light-rail-accessible Aquarium of the Pacific is 10 years old and more popular than ever. "At a time when the world's seas are in deep blue trouble, the aquarium assists in local coastal cleanups and fish population surveys." Earlier: TransitPeople and a trip to the aquarium via Metro.

>> Bikes too are getting so popular we now have instructions for ugging them up -- so as to deter thieves. Get instructions for everything from faux rust to mismatched pedals. (via lifehacker)

>> With more people opting for less travel or more eco-travel, airlines are suffering -- but also getting greener, sort of. Wired's Dave Demerjian has the scoop from the Eco-Aviation Conference this week.

>> Would-be Al Gore imitators can pick up PowerPoint tips from Nancy Duarte of Duarte Design, the company behind the slide show featured in "An Inconvenient Truth."

Put this where it belongs. I heard the other day that the oil companies currently have an unrestricted lease on millions of acres to drill for oil. Never the less, they have not made any effort to do so. I also heard that the Democrats to fend off the charge of interfering with domestic drilling, is drafting legislation to require the oil companies to drill where they have been provided the right to drill or lose those drilling rights. My problem is why is the media not jumping all over this. It seems to me that this is a supply issue. The oil companies are controling supply by first leasing then not drilling for oil. In the meantime the less informed electorate is diverted to Anwar, etc. and told this is the reason for the high prices of gas. In the meantime the Saudis who know the truth, is trying to present the truth by way of a conference between oil consumers and oil producing nations.
