RecycleMatch Turns Trash into TreasureRecycleMatch helps to transform commercial waste into value by converting one company’s waste stream into useful materials for another.
Just about every manufacturer ends up with waste or scraps that must be dealt with - sometimes by paying another company to haul it away and process or trash it - and a business called RecycleMatch is working to change the way that companies deal with their waste. Share

Don’t Bogart That Hemp, My Friend, Pass It Over to Me!I hate seeing a wasted resource. I hate seeing a resource wasted. But the reason we don’t see more hemp in our lives, in our clothes, food, material palettes for product manufacturing and so on, is that certain people are afraid that WE will get wasted if hemp is widely grown and available.

“What Would We Do If ...?” Thinking Big on Spaceship EarthBuckminster Fuller once likened our planet to a spaceship hurtling through the universe. Since no “instruction book” came with “Spaceship Earth,” he cautioned that to survive, we need to learn how to look at the planet as one whole system, and conserve resources accordingly. He urged us to “think big”. Share

Follow Nathan: Exploring Central New York Where the Amish, Sustainability and Modern Life Collide With My Imagination
The ride on route 20 west from Utica to Cazenovia, NY was about as agreeable as one could hope for. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping and the land was flat. I spent a lot of time taking pictures and admiring the many vast and beautiful dairy farms. Old men were out mowing their lawns and women were working in their gardens. Share

Follow Nathan: Dave Gross of the Wild Center in Tupper Lake, NY Looks to Turn Waste Into ResourcesStarbucks Wastes Large Amounts of Water
I came across this rather disheartening story this morning. Starbucks, the famous and increasingly ubiquitous coffee shop, is in trouble with environmentalists (including this one) for irresponsible water use. It seems that it is company policy to have a faucet running below the counter of every Starbucks on the planet at all times. The company claims that this keeps the washing area hygienic. As you may have guessed, running faucets in every Starbucks on the planet (yes, all 10,000 of them) adds up to quite a bit of water--23.4 million liters a day, to be exact. |
