Sleigh bells are ringing and the holidays are almost here, so to celebrate this week we highlighted our favorite green gifts, we showcased several incredible green designs that spread winter cheer, and we just announced our fabulous NYC Green Holiday Lighting Bash - check out the details below! We are also very excited about the launch of the  Chevy Volt and we took a video test-drive to check it out.  Heads up to coffee drinkers everywhere - we shared a great idea that could curb Starbuck's paper cup waste. Finally, this week we're wrapping up our coverage of the COP16 Climate Conference, so stay tuned for the latest news from this critical world event.
