Excellant! You also ask, 'How are you taking it to the next level? Whom do you admire in the landscape of the new sustainables, and whom should we encourage to examine their motives and methods?' There are many people without an agenda, they want only to bring about the changes needed to help our environment and the future of our children, to them I have say,'Bravo'.... and YOU know who you are.

Even though NAU calls it quits, let's hope that we have not heard the end of thier innovative ideas. “Hats off to NAU”

Always good stuff here! I am trying to compile a list of stuff I can do to reduce my carbon emissions. MTV had a commercial about it, and got me interested. I have been to www.earthlab.com and they have a ton of tips but I was mostly impressed by their page where they have their users send in tips: http://www.earthlab.com/life/tips.aspx Does anyone else know of other data bases that I can find these types of small things that lower my emissions? EPA or WWF maybe? Thanks for all your info and drop me a link if you guys see anything worth my time. Hey just stopping by to get my dose of green info. Always good stuff here!
