[edit] Green living for seniors

5 August 2008, by Senior living centers are the next breed of architectural structures to jump into the realm of green. By hiring architects, contractors and designers familiar with environmentally friendly building techniques, the owners of these complexes can save money for themselves and the residents in the enlarged run. Dallas’ The Stayton at Museum Way is an example of that new trend. Currently under construction, each independent residence will include highly efficient climate control, low-flow wate…

[edit] Virgin forests hold up to three times more carbon

5 August 2008, by I always find it interesting when it takes years of research and untold dollars to discover that Mother Nature just knows what she’s doing. Case in point: A recent report by researchers in Australia discovered that untouched, natural forests can store up to three times the carbon than those forests created in man-made tree farms and plantations. Plus, to add insult to injury, those untouched forests not only store more, but the carbon that is stored is never released, as it is with tree farm…

[edit] A third of China's emissions come from exports

5 August 2008, by Now that China has become the world’s top polluter, and the gray haze surrounding their capital city has become a universal spectacle, China has become an easy target for eco-bashing. But just like Mama used to say: when you point your finger at someone else, you’ve got three pointing back at you. As it turns out, 33% of China’s emissions are created by manufacturing those cheap goods that keep the western world’s economy pumping. That’s right, 1.7B tonnes of carbon — equivalent to the e…

[edit] Animal rights activists suspected in biologist bombings

5 August 2008, by Talk about getting a little 12 Monkeys. Authorities suspect that extremist animal rights organizations are behind a series of fire bombings that took place at UC Santa Cruz by the weekend. The targets were biology researchers who use animals as a part of their work. One researcher and his family, including his six and seven year old children, had to escape from their smoke-filled home through a second story window, using a fire-escape ladder. Another researcher had his car blown up in his…

[edit] Your fridge is not a composter

5 August 2008, by Newsflash! In case you didn’t know that, your fridge is not a composter, says a recent AP report via CNN. But that fact doesn’t stop the average household from throwing out about a quarter of the fruits and vegetables that they buy, wasting about $500 per year, according to a recent University of Arizona study. One reason citizens buy too much is that they perceive themselves as healthier eaters than they really are. Another reason humans chuck so many fruits and veggies is that they aren…

[edit] Chevy won't have a mini-car until 2011?

5 August 2008, by They might be sitting on one of the most promising mass-production EVs around, but just like the other major US automakers, GM is falling on some really hard times. In early July, Chevy came up with a plan to roll out a mini-car in order to stop the bleeding. Most insider sources seemed to think that the Beat subcompact would be the natural front-runner. Unfortunately, the Beat isn’t up to snuff with US safety standards — but there’s still hope of a 40mpg minicar. The latest word is that…

[edit] Does it matter whether the only green thing about Emeril is salad?

5 August 2008, by The New York Times took on the Discovery Channel’s Planet Green, pointing out some of the inconsistencies evident to even the most casual watcher. While the general data is green, some of the details are…less green. Celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse was author Alexandra Stanley’s case in point. Like most chefs, Emeril really, really loves butter and mayo, and isn’t going to cut taste or calorie corners just to reduce the carbon footprint. In his defense, he is getting the word out on orga… fue

[edit] Safe baby bath products, right at your supermarket

5 August 2008, by While it’s critical for all of us to try to use the safest cosmetics and toiletries that we can, using safe products on babies and children may be even more critical. Due to their low body weight, children can be impacted more than adults by dangerous chemicals. A recent study found that babies who had recently been shampooed, lotioned or powdered had elevated levels of phthalates in their urine. Phthalates have been shown to be hormone-mimickers in some studies and there is now a ban goi…

[edit] Campaign pushes for vegetable garden on the First Lawn

5 August 2008, by In an attempt to green up the next President of the United States, Roger Doiron, founder of Kitchen Gardens International, has started a campaign to get a vegetable garden planted on the White House lawn. Doiron hopes to convince the next Commander-in-Chief to use even a tiny part of the White House’s 19 acres to grow healthy, local food for the First Family to enjoy and help promote that practice for other Americans as well. It worked for Eleanor Roosevelt, who in 1943 started a victory …

[edit] Kids plant 15,000 new trees through online game

5 August 2008, by As someone who enjoys his fair share of online gaming, I must confess that that news has made me particularly happy. Earlier that year, online virtual world Dizzywood announced their partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation to celebrate Earth Day. Through that partnership, every new tree planted in game was rewarded with a tree planted in the real world. The conclusion is 15,000 new trees to be planted by the Arbor Day Foundation. “Dizzywood’s tree planting is a great example of how an a…

[edit] Neighborhood Garden Project: Glamorous it is not

5 August 2008, by I once had an editor who loathed the media’s “glamorization” of the farming industry. The silouhettes of tractors in the sunset, amber waves of grain, beautiful closeups of fruitful bounty. Farming is difficult and ugly, he said. The glamorized pictorial portrayal, he feared, gave the wrong impression to the public who took for granted all that goes into raising food. I now know a little bit about what he meant. Growing a vegetable garden is hard work. Even when you’ve got three fam… energ

[edit] A cute red desk set that is totally green

4 August 2008, by Today I ran into a mother and daughter doing some back to school supply shopping. Pencils, erasers, notebook paper, several cool High School Musical folders. I remember very well the feelings of excitement and anticipation each year when it was instance to gather my new tools. Although I don’t have any classes starting September, that cool desk set from Crate and Barrel nearly makes me wish I was, or at least had a reason to redo my office.

[edit] Stanley Fish Pollutes

4 August 2008, by Stanley Fish writes in today’s New York Times about his simultaneous belief in and resistance to many of the environmental and conservation principles that continue to grow in popularity. He admits to disliking the taste of locally grown meat, the light from greener bulbs, and even cloth napkins. He and his wife have reached some compromises–like a two-types-of-toilet paper state (one recycled and one not, I presume), and he has succumbed to a green kitchen remodel. However, he begins hi…

[edit] Got a lead foot? Nissan's new pedal pushes back

4 August 2008, by Great news for hypermilers: Nissan’s developing a new high-tech accelerator pedal that will force you to drive more efficiently. The “ECO Pedal” is equipped with sensors that detect any excess pressure or poor fuel economy and soon after literally pushes back against your foot to exact wasteful driving habits. I’ve heard of engines that shut down cylinders when they’re not needed, but that seems like a scary new level of artificial intelligence. While the accelerator with a mind of its ow…

[edit] The hot tub-sized nuclear reactor in a box

4 August 2008, by While the concept of nuclear potential stirs up lots of intense emotions, the debate by the America’s nuclear energy future has fizzled by the last few months — probably as a conclusion of the worldwide bottleneck in reactor supply. That could all change in 2013, when a company named Hyperion ability Generation plans to flood the market with small-scale nuclear reactors that could ability 20,000 homes a piece. These reactor capsules would be about the size of a VW Bug and would be buried…
