The author emphasizes that IT companies must create a recycling plan that will address equipment obsolescence. She suggests that IT managers must consider the use of low-power hardware whenever possible.<br /><br /><a href="http://web.ebscohost.com/ehost/detail?vid=20&hid=4&sid=64b1a06d-a64c-4f1f-8c8f-6fbda42c5797%40sessionmgr109">Link</a>Keith and Barbara Stotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08276647814335789263noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-204793462138168071.post-30491405291535337992008-01-23T12:33:00.000-07:002008-01-23T12:38:00.063-07:00"Sculpting New Uses for Society's Scraps"From Waste news, 17 Sept. 2007<br /><br /><p class="medium-bold">Program focuses on turning waste into works of art </p> <p class="body-paragraph">Junkyard artists are not hard to find, nor are most of their works, but a San Francisco area sculptor is using hazardous waste to create pieces that don't resemble junk. Ellen Babcock <strong><em>uses</em></strong> polystyrene foam and layers of discarded construction sealants to sculpt works mimicking marble and agate. But she's not copying the media <strong><em>for</em></strong> lack of materials. Rather, through her pieces she seeks to draw attention to the scarring rock quarries leave on the earth, as well as the resources needed to mine and ship marble, quartz and other such material. "I'm more aware than ever that what we choose to <strong><em>use</em></strong> and throw away has impact on the earth," Babcock said. "That's our mission, basically, to encourage folks to recycle more, conserve resources and have fun and support the local arts community," she said.</p><br /><a href="http://web.ebscohost.com/ehost/detail?vid=15&hid=4&sid=64b1a06d-a64c-4f1f-8c8f-6fbda42c5797%40sessionmgr109">Link</a>Keith and Barbara Stotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08276647814335789263noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-204793462138168071.post-50999051031232695302008-01-23T12:25:00.000-07:002008-01-23T12:33:07.553-07:00"To Incinerate or Not to Incinerate"From Alternatives Journal, 2007<br /><br />The article presents a debate between Richard Gilbert and Mark Winfield concerning the significance of incineration. Gilbert believed that incinerating waste is a better environmental solution than landfilling. He suggested that the waste management system's objective should be to lessen material flows and potential waste. He pointed out that high costs for incineration and landfill can be good if they shorten material flows and encourage or support recycling. Winfield argued that the widespread incineration would not eradicate the need for landfill. This suggests that debate presentation as incineration versus landfill is misleading. He agreed to Gilbert's view that increasing the cost of waste disposal will improve the economic diversion viability.<br /><br /><a href="http://web.ebscohost.com/ehost/detail?vid=12&hid=104&sid=64b1a06d-a64c-4f1f-8c8f-6fbda42c5797%40sessionmgr109">Link</a>Keith and Barbara Stotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08276647814335789263noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-204793462138168071.post-2592746978799058662008-01-23T11:55:00.000-07:002008-01-23T12:25:10.408-07:00"Landfill-on-Sea"From <span style="font-style: italic;">Ecologist</span>, Sept. 2007<br /><br />Old plastic rubbish doesn't die - it just gets tossed away in far-off places that we rarely get to see.

They will also make use of the organic-rich "goo" from food, gardening, wood and paper, which makes up about 50 per cent of household rubbish. As a result, just 30 per cent -- and ultimately, as little as 15 per cent -- of all household waste will become landfill, compared to around 50 per cent under conventional recycling.<br /><br /><a href="http://web.ebscohost.com/ehost/detail?vid=14&hid=17&sid=5e0eaece-009e-4c7a-9675-486a94413209%40sessionmgr102">Link</a>Keith and Barbara Stotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08276647814335789263noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-204793462138168071.post-70736140260400476152008-01-23T11:40:00.000-07:002008-01-23T11:48:55.931-07:00"Johnson & Johnson's Redesigns Go for Green"From Plastics News, 5 Nov. 2007<br /><br /><strong><em>Johnson</em></strong> & <strong><em>Johnson</em></strong> is embracing new ideas in its packaging, including an emphasis on post-consumer recycled content <strong><em>for</em></strong> the plastic used in some of its iconic brands.

He further claims that biosolids represent a low cost source of organic matter as well as provide buffering capacity when land applied.

The Food and Drug Administration doesn't require companies to study whether products contain chemicals such as <strong><em>endocrine</em></strong> <strong><em>disruptors</em></strong>. These chemicals -- which include preservatives called parabens that are found in many shampoos and conditioners -- act like hormones and are linked to reproductive and development problems in
