* Free delousing and social grooming – at least that’s the promise of the next edition of Four Stone Hearth, the anthropology carnival. For this one, you’ll have to settle short-legged aggressive primates and nudity in Scandanavia, and a warning that the opening pic may turn the stomach of vegetarians (and others).

* An American journalist finds a new perspective on the environment from Britain:

Ignorance is bliss until you step out of the carbon-guzzling garden; then it’s just downright embarrassing.
But what would it take to find a new lover in the Green Revolution? Even the British rhetorical tradition of environmental stewardship, which problematically implies that humans are the Earth’s caretakers rather than its guests, is largely that: mere rhetoric.

* Blogging a war: how the story has been told from the front line – powerful stuff.

This week’s edition is up at Poons, ranging nicely across the political and subject spectrums.

For the record I’ll note that I’d call myself a Green feminist rather than an eco-feminist – but I’m not going to get too into hair-splitting…. still too many things to do this evening!
