Fracking Is Finally Getting Some Attention and Regulation

From Jargon Watch: Fracking One would think that a process that pumped all kinds of chemicals into the ground would be subject to environmental scrutiny, but it isn't; in 2004 the Bush Administration "concluded that the process was safe and didn't warrant further study, because there was "no unequivocal evidence" of health risks, and the fluids were neither necessarily hazardous nor able to travel far underground."

Photo courtesy of Shell Mechanical engineering students from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo (my alma mater) have developed an eco supercar that gets 2,752 MPG! I never get tired of stories like these. As the car industry trips over itself trying to tap the fuel-efficient vehicle market, they end up getting pwned by a group of kids. And they been doing it since 2005! This car isn't some "complicated" hybrid or electric vehicle...it is 100-percent battery free. In fact, the car has a fuel economy that 13-times higher th... Read the full story on TreeHugger

Videos From ASI Dallas

8ify.com - Green — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 19:25:24 +0000

This is a guest post by John Simonetta, owner of Proforma Simonetta Freelance, an eco-friendly promotional items consultancy (see proformagreen.com). John’s blogs are designed to keep us up to date on the “greening” of his industry.

ASI is the Advertising Specialty Institute, the trade organization for the promotional products industry. This year at ASI DALLAS (one of several yearly ASI trade shows) I was joined by Brady Anderton of FUELED FILMS (http://fueldfilms.com/). Brady is working on a project related to the greening of the promotional products industry, so similar in topic to my writings here at ecopreneurist.com.

Since Brady is a film guy he didn’t take notes so much as have his team film me while we talked. What we ended up with was a kind of rambling dialogue about industry changes for 2010 and the evolution of green in promo.

I figured we would edit some of these conversations into more manageable bits and post some of the footage here. For more visit http://www.youtube.com/ProformaGreen.

Enjoy.
