By Kent McDonald On February 27, 2020 · Add Comment

When Conservation Efforts Backfire

By Lori Hanson On February 5, 2020 · Add Comment
I was at the airport this morning and made my routine stop at the ladies’ room before boarding my flight. As I wheeled my bag into the stall with me, the toilet flushed. As I sat down, it flushed again. When I stood up, it flushed for a third time (this one was appreciated). I [...]

Using the Shared Economy to Help Others

By Lori Hanson On January 9, 2020 · Add Comment
Did you know that Airbnb has a specific program designed specifically to help victims of natural disasters, refugees, and those recovering from medical treatments?

Many people have quoted multiple articles stating suggesting that by the year 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean (by weight) than fish.  Additionally, I have seen a lot of evidence that the plastic in the ocean ends up in the fish that we eat.  It is ironic that plastics were once considered [...]

“Wishcycling”

By Mary Nitschke On November 12, 2019 · Add Comment
I  had a representative from a recycling nonprofit tell me that residents tend to “wish cycle.” Meaning that the resident throws things in the recycling dumpsters in hopes that they are.  Although it might be true in some instances, for the most part, I think our residents just don’t know any better.  For example, turnover [...]

America’s Light Bulb Revolution

By Tom Spangler On November 7, 2019 · Add Comment
A recent article in the NY Times reports that “Solar panels and wind turbines get a lot of attention, but a more inconspicuous instrument is helping to reshape America’s energy economy right now: The humble light bulb.” Electricity use in the home has declined for the past 8 years after decades of steady increases, and [...]
