Now here's something for everybody! WikiGreen is a community for "Sustainable living, Intentional communities and life Off the grid. You will find here the personal experience of Alternative energy, Back to the land and Do-It-Yourself people, as well as regular folks wanting to live more Green." I'm a little surprised to not have run into any green wikis before because the whole philosophy is about community - if you've got one, please do share. The great thing about wikis is, they can be whatever you make them - and since WikiGreen already has nearly a thousand articles posted, it looks like its making itself into something very useful indeed.

Aloha, fellow ecologists. This week's Carnival is coming to you from Hippy Shopper, where I'm the brand-new editor - and instead of a baptism by fire, we have a baptism by green! But let me pause for a minute to thank Ella Rabaiotti, who suffered through training me with grace and charm, but alas, has now gone over to the now doubly enviable CityHippy. Good luck, Ella! Now, on with the show! People have sent in a lovely batch of posts and the lovely and talented Al from CityHippy - cofounder of the traveling eco-blog along with TriplePundit - has provided some spiffy handholding as necessary. Thanks Al - and thanks to Gerry Pugliese, GrrlScientist, Nick Aster, Riversider, Aaron Newton, Camden Lady, Jemilah Magnusson, Enrique, Scott Smith, Melissa Mansfield, Laura Klein, Harlan Weikle, Liz Hincks and Jeff McIntire-Strasburg for providing such great material, and Greg from Save the Ribble for the lovely photo of a wetland that needs not to become a riverworks. Read on for more on the Ribble and a fat, luscious heap of carnival goodness!

CharityBuzz is hosting the Third Annual Chevy Chase Earth Day Auction, involving all kinds of celebrity lunches, signed posters, a trip to Miraval Resort, a San Francisco Health Foods trip, a retreat to Mohonk Mountain and a year's supply of Steaz soda. (Or you can just get everything you need from Tony Danza.)
I love digital photography - the endless reuse of materials, not needing to make prints that may or may not be good, the frolicksome sense of freedom - but I can see the appeal of World Pinhole Photography Day, (as mentioned on flickr blog). It's a good idea to step back from increasingly sophisticated and controlling technology to hand-made, home-made, a little gadget that expresses natural beauty and basic science, resulting in a creative work that's all your own.
Responsible Shopper is a brand-new site from Co-op America, the same group that operates the National Green Pages. Its purpose? It gives people the information they need to vote with their dollars when they shop – and to email companies to tell them to clean up their acts. Is DaimlerChrysler ethical? What is Amazon.com's attitude toward unions? Is Vivendi Universal really that bad? Check Responsible Shopper's profiles.
