Like V<span style="font-style: italic;">eggie Revolution</span>, this book will be full of "guest commentaries" or "student voice" sections. Those are brief quotes from anybody and everybody of all ages about the subjects in the book. Right now, we're looking for comments on topics related to green choices in transportation and housing.<br /><br />For example, here are two that we have on the subject of living without a car, for the new book:<span style=""><br /><br />"I don't have a car because I don't have my license. It's just never been convenient to get it. Ideally, I'd like to live somewhere with good public transportation, and never need a car. I guess I should get my license, so I could help drive on road trips, or drive friends' cars occasionally, but I don't really want a car of my own. Even if I could afford it, I don't want the responsibility. Or the guilt!<br />"Not having a car isn't too difficult. In </span><st1:place><st1:city><span style="">Washington</span></st1:city><span style=""> </span><st1:state><span style="">DC</span></st1:state></st1:place><span style="">, it was really easy; I took the bus and metro everywhere. And in my hometown, which is a very small town, I rode my bike everywhere. It was actually good for me; I rode my bike a lot more in high school than I would have if I'd had a car. What's tough is living in a mid-sized city like </span><st1:city><st1:place><span style="">Greensboro</span></st1:place></st1:city><span style="">. It's not too hard to catch a ride to school with a friend, but </span><st1:city><st1:place><span style="">Greensboro</span></st1:place></st1:city><span style="">'s public transportation system is pretty mediocre. Actually, it's awful. If I want to do anything on my own, like go to a concert nobody else wants to go to, I'm out of luck."<br /> - Emily, age 23<br /><br /></span><span style="">"I just bought a used Honda. Originally I'd hoped to get a diesel vehicle, and either make my own biodiesel or convert it to run on greasel. But I couldn't find a reliable diesel car anywhere! They all had something weird about them, and I needed a car right away, so I could get to work. Maybe I can still do biodiesel later in life, but for now it just wasn't practical. I wouldn't want to pay to get a crappy car converted and then have to get it replaced anyway.<br />"It was pretty easy for me to learn about the options, at least. I know all about how to make biodiesel now, and if I wanted to have a biodiesel or greasel car, I'm sure I could do it. Obviously it would be a lot easier if we had more resources, if there were more people doing it... but what's going to make these alternative options take precedence over gasoline is those people who get out there first and do it on their own. For those first people it's hard, and there's not much support or information or resources, but it sets a precedent. It gets people talking. It shows that people are paying attention, and that we care about this stuff. We are so dependent on gasoline and finite resources... the end seems like a long way off, but it's not. So yeah, it takes some research, but look how much I know now!<br />"I also want to get a bike, for going short distances. Although this just isn't a biker's world, unfortunately. It's dangerous! I thought about riding Emily's bike to work when I worked just down the street, but Battleground Avneue? It's a three-lane channel of death. I'd be taking my life in my hands daily. Even with protective gear on, I wouldn't feel safe."<br />- Ashley, age 22</span><br /><span style=""><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">If any of you would like to send us a paragraph or two (or longer) on any of the following topics, we would love to have them. The working title of the book is <span style="font-style: italic;">The Power of Your Pocketbook: How Americans' Consumer Choices Shape the Future of the Planet. </span>The deadline is June, the book will be out from Fulcrum in spring of 07. If you would like to contribute, we can use your first name, first and last name, or it can be anonymous. It's up to you.<br /><br />Here are the subjects we need comments on:<br /></span></span> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""><o:p></o:p>Have you ever had to rely on mass transportation for your daily stuff - shopping, getting to work, and so on? any comments on that, good or bad?<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style=""><o:p></o:p>Have you ever lived anywhere where you didn't have a car and had to walk or bike everywhere? was that a problem?<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="">Have you lived or traveled in another country that is less reliant on cars?

Either one.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Or if you would like to comment on something I didn't specifically ask, but is related, feel free. The gist of what we're getting at, in the sections on transportation and housing, is how Americans use more than our share of resources and energy by relying heavily on gas-guzzling cars, and and by heating and cooling our buildings inefficiently. Among other things.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> If you want to write something, you can send it to me directly at skneidel@earthlink.net, or post it as a response to this blog entry.

The first job I ever had that involved media was at KSTP TV in Minneapolis, I was in college at U of M down the street. Nights, 3 days a week, my job was to attend the bank of news tickers, called "Rip and Read." Every hour I'd cull the teletype machines for local, national and international headlines, rip them into categories and hand them over to the announcers who read the news right off the wire.<br /><br />My constant and only companions in the basement of that 4-story building were the bank of clocks on the newsroom wall that marked the simultaneous procession of hours around the world. I looked for time stamps on the news wires and tried to match them up in order of last first and by time zone. I had a clipboard marked for region: London, Rome, New York, etc. and this was my file system.<br /><br />Since then I have rarely seen a newsroom which could be fairly called a "real" news center unless it had that ubiquitous set of clocks on the wall. When I found these clocks, it just seemed a natural fit for our space and a reminder that we truly are a global group. We may be scattered around the world, as is our audience, but what brings us together in the end is a desire to write about the environmental challenges which affect everyone on a globe that grows smaller every day.<br /><br />Here's a list I'll throw out for inspiration: </p><ul><li>First HN51 virus death in Iraq where a "hot" war currently wages.</li><li>Hemp clothing - cost, mfg process</li><li>Whale beaching </li><li>Women's heart disease</li><li>Veggie food mfgs - Green investing</li><li>Florida panthers ( the animal, not the team)</li><li>Eco friendly shampoo - people and pets</li><li>Hair dyes: content,recurring dermatitis if beauticians,alternatives</li><li>Deoderant: Green alternatives, mineral salts, "Toms" brand</li><li>Recycling</li><li>Olive oil as a moisturizer</li><li>Biodiesel </li><li>Salt water desal plants</li><li>Hybrid autos - Ford Motor</li><li>Adobe HQ goes green</li><li>Bamboo floors, clothing, work out cloths, towels</li><li>Sustainable housing for disaster relief areas</li><li>Synthetic reefs</li><li>Dole pineapple leaving Hawaii - organic vs bio engineering on the island</li><li>Synthetic drugs vs herbal remedies - research, cost</li><li>Paper or plastic?</li><li>Disposal of electronics, batteries</li><li>Walmart going green follow-up</li><li>Environmental impact of disaster clean up NO, Pakistan, Banda Aceh, California</li><li>Rebuilding a greener New Orleans</li><li>Disposable society and the disappearing landfill</li><li>Bono</li><li>Synthetic corks replace organic cork in wine</li><li>NASA - global warming</li><li>Messaging history: Pony express, Western Union, Internet</li><li>Rain water collection </li><li>Plastic packaging and a tool to open</li><li>Sunscreen products</li><li>X-blade wars</li></ul><p></p><div style="clear:both; padding-bottom:0.25em"></div> </div> </div> <p class="post-footer"> <em>posted by Harlan Weikle at <a href="http://bigskyecountry.blogspot.com/2006/02/news-resources.html" title="permanent link">11:40 AM</a></em> <a class="comment-link" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/20760001/113908324885002865"location.href=https://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/20760001/113908324885002865;>0 comments</a> <span class="item-control blog-admin pid-1401979494"><a style="border:none;" href="https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=20760001&postID=113908324885002865&from=pencil" title="Edit Post"><img class="icon-action" alt="" src="https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif" height="18" width="18"></a></span> </p> </div> <!-- End .post --> <!-- Begin #comments --> <!-- End #comments --> <!-- Begin .post --> <div class="post"><a name="113906170960380818"></a> <h3 class="post-title"> Let's turn up the heat! </h3> <div class="post-body"> <div> <div style="clear:both;"></div>Good morning team. As we prepare for a long rainy weekend here in "sunny" Florida, I wanted to reach out and get everyone's creative juices flowing (no pun intended). Kathleen LaRoque has joined our team with the primary responsibility of building our advertising base. In order to attract those entities with whom we would like to be affiliated, we need to continue to build out stats and readership. To do that we need more frequent articles.<br /><br />You are all gifted writers. With your energy and ability, each of you can easily take a topic a week and drive out an insightful and thought-provoking article for our readers. We have received many positive comments about Greener Magazine and know that with your talent we will only become more successful with an ultimate goal of, as Cuba Gooding said so eloquently in the movie Jerry Maguire, "showing all of us the money!"<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2110/215/1600/ideas.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2110/215/200/ideas.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Harlan will be posting an extensive list of topics for you to choose from. He has also added a "ticker" at the top of this whiteboard that provides some great ideas. Please scroll through and comment on which you'd like to tackle. <br /><br />Our magazine is unique. Unlike other internet magazines which are merely online versions of their ink and paper publications, Greener is exclusively electronic. We also have the advantage of writers located throughout the world and we are the first to include interactive maps on our site! Thank you all for bringing your special talents and perspective to the project.

Any links or leads about that would be appreciated.<br /><br />Nancy, I was interested in the comments in your post about the pet treat Greenies, and about hemp. Sara Kate and I are working on a new book about how we have the power to choose which corporations we fund. It's about buying selectively, as informed consumers. Our consumer choices are more important than our votes really in shaping the future. But, anyway, any links or leads about particular pet foods and about hemp versus cotton, or other green fabrics, would be great. Or stories, people to call - any and all tips welcome.<br /><br />I met somebody the other day who used to work for Purina. He told me that Purina no longer exists, it was broken up and went to Nestle, which now does all the pet chow, and Cargill, which now does all the industrial chow. Both companies kept the Purina label though because it's so familiar and popular. Both the pet chow and the industrial chow for farmed animals are composed largely of slaughterhouse waste ("meat by-products"). Does everybody know that? I've sort of lost my perspective, too immersed in this stuff. By-products include heads, organs, feet, fat, skin, chicken poop, "feather meal," bone meal, etc. <br /><br />Are Greenies better than that? I don't know.<br /><br />Sara Kate and I have a blog too, check it out. http://veggierevolution.blogspot.com<br /><br />All for now!<br />Sally K<div style="clear:both; padding-bottom:0.25em"></div> </div> </div> <p class="post-footer"> <em>posted by Sally Kneidel, PhD at <a href="http://bigskyecountry.blogspot.com/2006/02/howdy-greenies-hemp-purina-and-more.html" title="permanent link">9:38 AM</a></em> <a class="comment-link" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/20760001/113890461187361436"location.href=https://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/20760001/113890461187361436;>0 comments</a> <span class="item-control blog-admin pid-1301873961"><a style="border:none;" href="https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=20760001&postID=113890461187361436&from=pencil" title="Edit Post"><img class="icon-action" alt="" src="https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif" height="18" width="18"></a></span> </p> </div> <!-- End .post --> <!-- Begin #comments --> <!-- End #comments --> <h2 class="date-header">Wednesday, February 01, 2006</h2> <!-- Begin .post --> <div class="post"><a name="113884439016034991"></a> <h3 class="post-title"> Greg's idea for Green Investing articles, and other things </h3> <div class="post-body"> <div> <div style="clear:both;"></div>I like the idea. I for one am very interested in Green Investing. I'd like to move my pathetic IRA account to a green fund, but have no clue what to do, no time and energy to go look at possibilities, don't want to get into the clutches of a broker (sorry Greg - no insult intended). I at least know what green investing is, but I'll bet lots of green minded individuals are vague about it. Some basic info and advice would be welcome, I bet.<br /><br />Other things: I'm in a bit of a quandary. My site's main emphasis is vegetarian lifestyle, and although I firmly believe that vegetarianism is a key component of sustainability, and all vegetarians should be equally keen on green, I feel that I get the best response when I stay focused on veggieness. Most of my visitors seem to be beginning vegetarians, who are mainly interested in how to adapt to a vegetarian lifestyle. I never hear from anyone who wants to be green, and most of the traffic goes to recipes. I would like to put more emphasis on environmental, sustainable issues, and do get traffic to articles on those topics, but not nearly as much. I love being part of the eco-blog network, but am at a bit of a loss how to integrate the veg focus with the green. I rarely see the two connected, occasionally there's a vegan connection, but most vegetarians aren't in fact vegan. Any suggestions?
