Is it better for the environment if you buy a brand-new cotton T-shirt or a recycled one? Well, it depends. Recycling has obvious benefits, but the process shortens cotton fibres and so usually has to be mixed with some oil-based material to keep it from falling apart. Such trade-offs make it tricky to figure out the real sustainability rating of clothes — but brands in Europe will soon have no choice. By next year, every item of clothing sold in France will require a label detailing its precise climate impact — with a similar rule expected for the rest of…
A lot of dog owners would do just about anything for their pet, expecting only cuddles and goofy looks in return. But earlier this week, a dog nearly gave her life to save her owner from a rare mountain lion attack on a hiking trail in remote Northern California.

But one kitchen appliance that passes all of these tests: the mini food processor. Also called mini choppers, these kitchen gadgets have a capacity between 1 and 5 cups (though you’ll probably want a bowl that can hold at least 3 cups for versatility’s sake). The best models…
