Late last month, our friends at groSolar launched Zep Solar, a rail-free mounting and grounding system for residential solar electric installations. Next week, they'll be teaching the world how to install them. If you sell or install solar power systems - or if you're interested in learning more about the technology or work opportunities - read what groSolar has to say about National Zep Week....
Home Star will reach another milestone today when Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.), Chairman Ed Markey (D-Mass.), Rep. Vern Ehlers (R-Mich.) and Rep. Dennis Cardoza (D-Calif.) introduce legislation creating the program in the House of Representatives. It’s important to note that with Republican support the bill is officially bipartisan.
Major League Baseball today announced what is arguably the most important environmental initiative in the history of professional sports, worldwide.
I know that is a big statement, but it is true.
As part of Major League Baseball’s ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship, MLB today announced its development of a comprehensive software system designed to collect and analyze environmental data related to stadium operations across the 30 Clubs.
Our friends at Penn Future sent us the information below, and we're passing it on to any of you tree lovers that live in or work in or happen to be passing through Philadelphia on Wednesday....
Join us during your lunch hour as we conduct a demonstration to support our remarkable state forests.
Early this morning, as I pulled into the parking lot to catch the bus to New York City, I had to pull around a construction truck that was parked in the middle of the road. Odd, I thought. Why was the truck just sitting there in the dark, seemingly empty?
Moments later, I found out as I saw the bus approaching and stepped out of my car to be greeted by a loud buzzing noise.
I don’t remember exactly what I did on the first Earth Day 40 years ago, but I remember exactly how I felt: deeply relieved.
You have to realize, the spring of 1970 was a tumultuous time. I was a junior at Yale, but most of us were essentially on strike. We never went to class, because we were far too embroiled in the political upheaval around us.
Our friends groSolar, who already sponsor the greenest racecar driver in the world, are now supporting a cycling team too. Apparently they love races that involve wheels.
Congrats to groSolar, the MetLife Cycling Team, and, of course, Snoopy, who told us he was overwhelmed with excitement about this opportunity to learn about solar energy.
Here's what groSolar has to say about the new partnership...
Overview
Corn was once a simple food, chewed off the cob. Now, with corn reinvented and transformed, it takes a chemist to recognize all its offspring. Among these is high-fructose corn syrup (a gooey sweetener used in soft drinks, meats, cheeses, and dozens more foods) that appeases confectionery cravings. But recent studies have raised concerns about the syrup by drawing links to obesity and other health effects.
Come on, FDA.
Like I mentioned in my recent blog on soaps, we are really concerned about the use of triclosan and triclocarban in “antibacterial” soaps. We had been trying to get some answers from FDA for a year now, to no avail. Lots of stonewalling.
We've already posted about this once. But. We're less than 10 days away from the Go Green Expo in Philadelphia. We're excited. And we thought we'd remind you.
We'll be there. Our friend Leilani Münter - the world's greenest racecar driver - will be there. And we hope you'll be there too.
