EnvironmentOrganic Juice Sails Ahead ;-)Submitted by Zebra Mussel on Tue, 03/20/2007 - 18:53.
A snippet from Palm Beach Post on organic juice sales. Though I consume it in tandem with organic milk, organic juice availability just has not kept pace. Looks like they finally are waking up in the Orange belt. Tropica (worlds largest juice guru) only got into the game this Feb. See how behind the ball the big boys can be. Looks like it wont be much longer now. I wonder what is next?

Crain's Reports "Port study completion docked until summer" - whose study is this?Submitted by Norm Roulet on Mon, 03/12/2007 - 15:58.
In what is more of a PR blurb than news article, Crain's Business today reported that "Port study completion docked until summer". As I recall, there had been plans for Cuyahoga County to fund a port study, for $100,000, and the Port was planning their own study, so I am curious which this is. More important, I wonder why the new director would choose to delay gaining professional, independent insight to help him "evaluate the port and its operations"... I'll be interested in Ed Hauser's take on this, which I'll post here shortly. Worm Proliferation Front & Buckeye Sustainability Institute - The Worm ConnectionSubmitted by Zebra Mussel on Fri, 03/09/2007 - 21:50.
![]() First let me start off by saying that worms are one of the keys to hands sustainability education. Capable of imparting lessons about landfills, organic waste landfill diversion, benificial reuse, food chains, composting, recycling, global warming etc etc etc, worms are an underutilized and cost effective resource for education.

See map: Google Maps take some E waste stats & redefine what you knowSubmitted by Zebra Mussel on Thu, 03/08/2007 - 19:59.
![]() A growing share of municipal waste contains electronic or electric products. E-waste is one of the fastest growing waste streams and makes up approximately 4 per cent of municipal waste in the European Union. In the US, between 14 and 20 million PC’s become obsolete every year. The picture is similar all over the world and e-waste is increasing steadily. ( categories: )

Internationally one of the biggest drivers for 'clean tech' projects is carbon credits.Submitted by Zebra Mussel on Thu, 03/01/2007 - 21:41.

Lead In Gasoline, Phased out?Submitted by Zebra Mussel on Tue, 02/27/2007 - 22:27.
During my search for all visual data Pb related online yesterday I also found this great visual. These lead court cases our turing out to be one of the best if not zee best lesson in producer responsability. EU laws are shaping / driving product take back. These requirments are driving manufacturing to design for deconstruction and increasing the attention paid to inclusion of less hazardous components. Back in the stone ages we used asbestos, lead based paint, and dont forget anti-fouling paint for boat bottoms. Being on the hook for multi-billion dollar clean ups is going to turn some of these coating manufacturers up side down. Perhaps thats what you get when you have the motto 'cover the earth' blaaah.

SPRAWL ANTIDOTE - TRANSIT ORIENTED DESIGN AT LEVIN COLLEGE, CSUSubmitted by Jeff Buster on Sat, 02/24/2007 - 00:35.
The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority on Thursday, February 22, 2007 sponsored a free presentation and discussion at the Maxine Levin College of Urban Affairs at CSU. This presentation is another accomplishment in the Levin College’s public engagement efforts. While Case used to benefit from the PR of such fora at the Weatherhead Regional Economics Institute (REI), the termination of the REI programs by Case has CSU now benefiting from the hundreds of citizens attending the Levin College presentations.
