Once again, we have a bunch of great listener emails. Keep 'em rolling in at hip@greenfeet.com. And don't forget to post articles, links, and speak your mind at our MHTH forum!

• It all makes sense now! Several listeners sent in links to an article in National Geographic that links the origins of chocolate to beer makers 3,000 years ago. No wonder beer and chocolate make such a great combination.
• Green invades our national parks. Dee sent along an article about how the National Park Foundation is working to reduce the waste produced in America's national parks.
• Kid's PJ's, minus the chemicals. Last week, Dori and Val talked about the flame retardants in kid's pajamas. Michele found that several companies, like The Gap, make snug-fitting 100% cotton pjs that are not treated with flame retardants. Val recommends Under The Canopy for organic pajamas.
• Going green at Google. Aaron sent along a link to a slide show of the new solar installation at the Googleplex in Mountain View, CA.
• Beer prices on the rise. Rachel was dismayed to learn that a hops shortage could result in an increase in beer prices.
• If toxic pollution is in products, is it in us? That's the question that 35 Americans, from all walks of life, social, and economic backgrounds have set out to answer with the Is It In Us? Project. Thanks to Eileen for sending along this link.
• Books without the paper. Chris goes to Audible.com to download audio versions of his favorite books and magazines to his iPod.
