- Labels that lie, or perhaps elide a bit
- It's time for a clever cleantech company to make a home testing kit for BPA. Maybe another one could be used by groceries that are tyring to provide truth in labelling. BPA would be biphenol-A a component of some of plastics now uibiquitous in our food packaging here in America....

- The really inconvenient truth: real price of our energy
- I've blogged before about the need for a new energy calculus. Not just market and whosesale costs to the user of the energy. Economics and business have a notoriously short-sighted, narrow-minded set of considerations. Haven't we just re-learned that ancient lesson from the hedge funder corruption and...

- What do Bill Gates and other billionaires see as the world's #1 problem?
- It's not peak oil and it's not war. But it is a greentech issue. It's population growth. But without unbridled population growth it's very hard to maintain economic growth. This issue strikes at the very heart of 21st Century business and politics. That's why we...

- For coal and cows we ignore the polluted water
- Our American system often reflects the basic values of the nation, and it's clear that money trumps public health. I'm not talking about the medical industry. Not in the purview of this blog. Today there's an expose of how much dangerous crud is in drinking water around...

- Plastic floats forever? Maybe not
- There's some new research into the man-made continent of floating trash, plastic and styrofoam, that swirls in the North Pacific. Seems some of it breaks down pretty quickly. Sounds good, right? Biodegradable. But it degrades into chemicals like biphenol-A which is toxic. Oops. You...

- Ohio, what are you drinking?
- That stuff in your drinking water could be detected if we applied a little green tech. Sensors, digitally linked, could alert water drinkers in Ohio, Texas, Florida, Maryland and other atrazine-rich habitat. "Atrazine alert," it could say, "drink something else for a while." Real-time monitoring of public...

- Locavore: more than a matter of taste
- There was a good discussion on NPR of the locavore trend among some people. Does the carbon footprint of the food matter? How bad is the negative environmental impact of American farm subsidies? Money for corn and rice, not for tomatoes or blueberries. Why is meat-eating so...

- Can green tech help save nature's biplanes?
- Pressure to use ever more land to grow food and fuel is decreasing the land open to many wild creatures. Now there's concern that many dragonfly species could go extinct. Their larvae need fairly unpolluted wetlands to grow in. Most of the dragonfly's life is...

- No more free tomatoes from your neighbor?
- Organic gardeners are circulating emails asking for home growers to unit and get political. They see Big Brother stepping into the garden and making it illegal for you to give those extra tomatoes to your neighbor, let alone sell them at a produce stand. What's up? HR...

- "Organic" Marketing melarky, not scientific term
- Think you know what "organic" means? Like "security" or "god," it means many different things to many different people, some of them slick marketers. Like the additives in organic baby formula. And there are different categories of "organic" even for products that are honestly labelled under the...

- Lunch in your cubicle and the ENVIRONMENT
- That vending machine snack and can of Coke has environmental implications beyond the mere manufacturing and delivery systen. And now the Department of Energy DOE is going after those inefficient, old-fashioned last steps on the food chain. VENDING MACHINES! There are no solar-powered, wind-driven, or...

- Time for Plan B?
- One planet-watcher thinks we've blown it with Plan A. Out of the Earth Policy Institute comes Plan B 3.0: Mobilizing to Save Civilization by Lester R. Brown. Brown believes there is only one globally deadly horseman in the apocalypse: famine. "The biggest threat to...

- Teflon: is it safe?
- A comment to one of my recent posts said: "Hey you wanna do a story? Try researching Teflon and what the FDA's special group studying it has been up to and what the manufacturer has been doing. Then think about all the teflon coating in fast food, popcorn and cooking...

- Money, at the root of all roots
- Food and how we get it. One of the crucial issues of this era. A report in Europe has just predicted famine and all manner of social and political disaster due to global warming. Famine, as in starvation. How we get our food will only become...

- Banned in Chicago!
- Chicago became the first major American city to ban baby bottles made of BPA, a potentially toxic chemical that leaches into milk, water or soft drinks. It is the 7 inside the triangle on the bottom of the bottle that should alert you to BPA. For years even...

- Veggie food v. global warming
- The Belgian city of Ghent is the first in the world to officially push for less consumption of meat. This is political, not religious. Ghent is drawing attention to the contribution of greenhouse gases from livestock raised for meat. The U.N.'s FAO says 18% of all greenhouse...

- Is green living just for the rich?
- When a clebrity celebrates green living, one standard reply: I can't afford it. Is the slow food movement only for latte-sipping Prius drivers? Here in my semi-rural part of Oregon the locally-produced, organic cheeses cost at least double what the mass produced cheeses cost at the big chain...

- Will greentech investors discover food?
- The first known death in the U.S. from the current round of infulenza has been reported. This swine flu bruhaha adds ammunition to arguments of those who favor more humane farming methods. The poor pigs may be getting a bad rap on "swine flu." There's no evidence...

- Swine flu: gaia v. capitalism?
- Some blogs are looking at the feverish interest in swine flu and seeing a moral and environmental lesson. For what it's worth FWIW, Mexican officials say they've found no evidence of the current deadly swine flu strain among...well, swine. Meanwhile the flu's alleged death toll rises in Mexico, but...

- America's greenest town?
- It's hard to get past the coincidental. This town is named GREENSburg, Kansas. Is this fate set in motion more than a century ago? Serendipity? Some hidden screenwriter have a hand in all this? Greensburg was just another shrinking town surrounded by ever-larger,...
