Compost WorkshopSubmitted by Victoria Mills on Mon, 03/20/2006 - 16:23.
06/06/2006 - 19:00 06/06/2006 - 20:00 Etc/GMT-4 Recycling the organic waste of a household into compost allows us to return badly needed organic matter to the soil. In this way, we participate in nature's cycle, and cut down on garbage going into burgeoning landfills. Worm composting is a method for recycling food waste into a rich, dark, earth-smelling soil conditioner. The great advantage of worm composting is that this can be done indoors and outdoors, thus allowing year round composting. It also provides apartment dwellers with a means of composting. Contact Tori Mills at 216-321-5935, x234 to register or go to www.shakerlakes.org to order your composter. Location

People are rolling up their sleeves, donning hip-waders and delving into the brook’s substrate in search of aquatic insects for a myriad of reasons. Some wish to take individual action to augment data that isn’t collected by local and regional agencies. Others find it a meaningful and educational way to spend time with their children. And still others are just curious about the natural world around us. At our training workshop you will learn about: Location

Bio-polymer Belt on the North CoastSubmitted by Zebra Mussel on Sat, 03/04/2006 - 00:14.
With all the buzz about biopolymers, and all the rants about antiquated polymeric technology around here... who is doing anything to promote the eco_logical next steps?
If anyone else is interested in local biopolymer proliferation, research, and collaboration please post up. It would be great to piece together a perspective of local biopolymer scene. This is after all the polymer belt and I cant be the only one wondering how I can thermoset an idea I have out of locally developed biopolymers. ( categories: )

Huge breaking story: Jury holds 3 ex-makers of lead paint liableSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Wed, 02/22/2006 - 16:36.
Huge news in Rhode Island today - "Jury holds 3 ex-makers of lead paint liable" - will have major impacts in Cleveland. Cleveland is one year into a major regional initiative to eradicate lead poisoning in Greater Cleveland, where elevated blood level rates are some of the highest in the country, and it is very important that the paint companies are part of the solutions being developed. Rhode Island is where the battle against lead poisoning has proceeded the furthest in court, and now a jury has ruled against three paint companies, including our home-town Sherwin-Williams. Imagine some possible next steps... lead goes the way of asbestos and the old paint companies go bankrupt, and so goes away Sherwin-Williams and all its jobs in the region, with the assets going to our next Mittal... yet the bankruptcy settlement and asset sales help pay to eradicate lead poisoning here so our next generations are not mentally impaired and are able to contribute to the economy. What do the people of NEO rally around - saving jobs or saving minds... I can see the fanatical lines being drawn now. Is that the best we can do? Or can lead be viewed as a new frontier for open, responsible collaboration across our community (as is already happening in Greater Cleveland) AND with one of the biggest players on the industry - our own Sherwin-Williams - allowing us to respond here to our dirty laundry being aired in the RI courts, and in the process making Sherwin-Williams a stronger corporate citizen, in a safer, healthier, smarter community more worth living in. Read the complete story, from the Providence Journal.
