Today's green news flash takes us through Sophie Young's new renewable lingerie, Divine's free giveaway and KT Tunstall's Forestry Commission gigs this summer.

Putting the wood into your lingerie
And we thought wearing bamboo, hemp and organic cotton undies kept us ahead of the curve. Top ethical fashion boutique By Nature has just launched a new range of ladies' lingerie and men's boxers-cum-knickers made from white pine tree pruning (pictured). Yep, these pants designed by Sophie Young give new meaning to the term to the term 'got wood?' Ethics should be pretty good, as all the undies are made in France. Boxer knickers are £27, the bras cost £40.

Free Divine chocs
As if there wasn't enough free Fairtrade chocolate being given away by us, ethical chocolatier Divine is offering you a free bar in return for filling in a form.

KT Tunstall plays for the trees
Tickets go on sale this Friday for Scottish eco troubadour KT Tunstall's summer Forestry Commission gigs. The shows on 6 June and 15 June and the £27.50 tickets raise cash for the commission to spend on eco projects.

Baby Show gives birth to 'Green Panel'
This month's Baby Show at the warehouse-like EXCEL in London features a new daily Green Panel supplying tips to wannabe eco parents. Find out more than you ever needed to know about nappies, and get some sage advice from Green Baby's Jill Barker.

Pinnacle Journey 1.0 2008
Cheap and cheerful -- the Journey hits the value bullseye. And doesn't end up a horrible compromise in doing so.
Mezzo d-10
Too costly, particularly compared to its d-9 sibling. But despite that, this is the state-of-the-art for folding bikes -- fast, light, practical.
Puma Glow Rider
The emperor's new bicycle -- all marketing and no trousers. Over-expensive, handles and folds poorly, doesn't glow well enough, and is stealable despite the weird cable-cum-downtube.
Weleda Edelweiss Sun Lotion SPF 15
It's a very good, honest sun lotion and we appreciate that -- we're excited about Weleda as a company, but not overly so about this particular product
LG 32LG5000
Stylish and with good performance, this is a nice TV, especially at just over £400 -- but the high energy use is a turn off
