            <title>To Some, Glaxo Wind Turbines Are Just Hot Air</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5174861&amp;cid=t_201808_150_f&amp;fid=35777&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FPharmalot%2F%7E3%2Fu5t0safiHH4%2F</link>
            <description>Going green may not always be easy. To lower electrical use, GlaxoSmithKline wants to construct a pair of 390-feet high wind turbines at its 45-acre site in Montrose, Scotland, where active pharmaceutical ingredients are made. When the &amp;#8216;on&amp;#8217; switch is flicked in two years, the turbines should generate six megawatts of electricity, which is enough power for 3,000 homes, and any excess energy could be delivered to the National Grid.
Here is how a Glaxo spokesman explains the proposed operation to The Courier: &amp;#8220;All of the electricity would go in to a local network and any surplus that GSK would generate over and above its immediate needs to operate the site offsets the carbon dioxide, the greenhouse gas, which the combined heat and power unit currently operating on the site p...</description>

            <title>Eco-Unfriendly: Why Don't More Magazines Use Recycled Paper?</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3794743&amp;cid=t_201808_87_f&amp;fid=36050&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fblisstree.com%2Flive%2Feco-unfriendly-why-dont-more-magazines-use-recycled-paper%2F</link>

While many magazines are panicking about the continuing rise of digital media, which is resulting in new business models and more online content, the vast majority of mags don&amp;#8217;t seem to be adapting to the green movement. And that doesn&amp;#8217;t necessarily mean going paperless — it could simply mean printing on recycled paper, which is available for the same price as the paper they already use.
Only 200 of the 17,000 magazines published in the U.S. use recycled paper. (Is your jaw on the floor?) One mainstream magazine that takes advantage of recycled paper is Shape, which prints on 35% post-consumer paper. Once the magazine made the switch to recycled paper, readers were thrilled.
For all their international influence, Condé Nast publications aren&amp;#8217;t so eco-...</description>

            <title>BPA Found In Receipts: Now We Really Hate Tracking Our Spending</title>

If you know us, you know we like to freak out about BPA. But our freakouts aren&amp;#8217;t unwarranted: BPA is an endocrine disrupter that is linked to health issues in men, women, and babies. Plus, the stuff is hard to avoid: it&amp;#8217;s in pretty much all canned foods and many plastic bottles and containers. And according to a new study, BPA was even present on 40% of receipts collected from supermarkets, ATMs, gas stations, and retail chains. In some cases, the levels of BPA found were 1,000 times greater than the BPA found in the lining of canned foods.
Ugh. We throw our receipts all over the place. They rub all over our groceries on the way home from the market and we keep them in our purse for months, right up against our lip gloss. While it&amp;#8217;s not clear if the BPA...</description>

            <title>Free Webinar for Women: Solar Power Your Home</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3767045&amp;cid=t_201808_87_f&amp;fid=36050&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fblisstree.com%2Flive%2Ffree-webinar-for-women-solar-power-your-home%2F</link>

General public opinion is that the current energy crisis is a man&amp;#8217;s problem (like drinking milk from the carton or B.O.), but a survey by the Women&amp;#8217;s Council on Energy and the Environment shows that 90% of women are enthusiastic about solar energy playing a serious role in our country&amp;#8217;s environmental future. And why shouldn&amp;#8217;t we care? Women have always looked for innovative solutions to tough problems.
That&amp;#8217;s why One Block Off the Grid (1BOG), a free service that helps homeowners transition to solar power, is hosting a free webinar to help women decide if solar energy is right for them. You&amp;#8217;ll find out a lot of info about how to go solar in your home, and the environmental and economic benefits of converting to a solar-powered energy sy...</description>

            <title>Trash-Free for a Year: Are You Eco-Friendly Enough?</title>

            <description>Think about everything you&amp;#8217;ve thrown out today so far. A lot of crap, right? The average person tosses four pounds of trash a day. But get this: An eco-friendly couple in Oregon created just four pounds of trash over 365 days. They decided to go debris-free for an entire year, and through recycling, buying locally grown food, and composting, they accumulated around 75 pieces of small trash during that time. Crazy. Could you do it?

We&amp;#8217;ve heard of cork board, cork shoes, even cork furniture. But there&amp;#8217;s another eco-friendly product made of recycled cork that we hadn&amp;#8217;t heard of until now — cork purses. But, man — were we missing out. We love the understated elegance of Peasants and Travelers&amp;#8216; cork Doctor&amp;#8217;s Bag, which we found while browsing Eco Salon.
It&amp;#8217;s fashioned from remnants of wine bottle corks from Portugal that have been smashed and laminated, but the material is flexible and waterproof. The rest of the bag is made from reclaimed materials, like its cotton dress shirt lining. And at $150, it&amp;#8217;s a forever piece that isn&amp;#8217;t too much of an investment.

            <description>When it&amp;#8217;s a beach day, we definitely can use a little shelter from the sun, wind, and unexpected torrents of rain (Sometimes we forget to check the weather, okay?) If only we could have this beautiful Folding Beach Hut, created by design student Josif Neema. It neatly closes up into a portable, box structure.
We found this sweet little shelter while browsing The Alternative Consumer&amp;#8217;s gallery of green architectural concepts. Check it out for some other innovative and eco-friendly design ideas.

It&amp;#8217;d be handy to tote around all your belongings wherever you went, but could you downsize everything you own to fit into this small canvas tent? That&amp;#8217;s what Lehman B, a self-proclaimed &amp;#8220;do-tank,&amp;#8221; has done with his miniature camper called Supertramp. His home is attached to a bike, so he can change locations, and it includes a bed and a wood-burning stove. Ignoring the obvious fire hazard, would you be able to live like this?

Your dog doesn&amp;#8217;t drive a car, use electronics in an office building, or drink bottled water (he doesn&amp;#8217;t, does he?), which sounds pretty eco-friendly to us. But according to Time to Eat the Dog? The Real Guide to Sustainable Living, dogs are worse for the earth than SUVs. We&amp;#8217;ll have to read the book to find out exactly why, but we&amp;#8217;re guessing it has to do with unsustainable pet food and plastic toys. Eco Salon suggests that if you aren&amp;#8217;t already a dog-owner, you may want to try a more eco-friendly pet like a hamster, canary, fish, or cat.
But…but…but&amp;#8230;We love dogs. We think that as long as you try to make your pet&amp;#8217;s life as green as you can, you should adopt that puppy you&amp;#8217;ve been visiting in the shelter. After all, who el...</description>

            <description>We know we were just talking about rollerblades being such a throwback, but our dorky secret wish has come true: Rollerblades could be making a comeback. An eco-friendly comeback, to be exact. K2 Skates has created a pair of &amp;#8220;Eco&amp;#8221; rollerblades. Its soft boot, laces, and webbing are made from recycled plastic bottles; the frame is made of bamboo. While K2 admits that the skate isn&amp;#8217;t entirely green, there isn&amp;#8217;t any PVC in them, which is a huge plus. We know the truly green thing to do would be to make our own rollerskates rather than buy a brand new pair, but still, doesn&amp;#8217;t the bamboo look purty?

Who couldn&amp;#8217;t use a cool ten mill? We wouldn&amp;#8217;t mind it. That dough could be yours if you figure out an effective way to clean up the BP oil spill in the Gulf. It&amp;#8217;s a pretty daunting task, but if the future of the oceans don&amp;#8217;t motivate you, maybe this will:
The X Prize Foundation, a nonprofit that offers prizes to spur technological innovation, is offering the reward. Now if only they could figure out a way to persuade BP to actually accept some help with cleaning up this environmental disaster.

            <description>On a recent trip to the beach, we were wishing for some small, portable speakers to plug into our iPods. Who knew our wish would be granted so adorably? This little eco-friendly cutie is handmade out of natural cut apricot wood, can be recharged via a USB connector, and can plug right into your headphone jack.
We wonder how it sounds. Though, honestly, we might trade sub-par sound quality for this awesome design. It can be yours for $44.50 on Delight.

            <description>We love talking about natural ways to do household chores, because this means our home is one less place where we need to use toxic chemicals. (It does not mean we like to do household chores, however.) And if we can extend that lack of toxins to our garden, well, even better. Check out this video for tips on natural pest control:

As Eco Salon points out, you&amp;#8217;d be hard pressed to find a girl who cares about the environment, but doesn&amp;#8217;t care at all about how her skin looks. That&amp;#8217;s where Kaia Naturals&amp;#8217; Bamboo Facial Cleanser Cloths come in. These eco-friendly beauty bombshells are made from 100% soft, sustainable bamboo, and contain cleanser, toner, and eye makeup remover – and they don&amp;#8217;t require water.
Here&amp;#8217;s what the cloths don&amp;#8217;t contain: alcohol, synthetic fragrances, parabens, or sulfates. Where can you get these supposedly miracle wipes? Why, right here.

Yep – that Ben and that Jerry. They&amp;#8217;re teaming up for a challenge with Bonnie Raitt and the Green Music Group to fight disposable plastic bottle use and promote reusable bottles. Sounds good and green, right? But wait. We didn&amp;#8217;t even mention the best part: You could win a year&amp;#8217;s supply of free ice cream.
Just take the pledge from the Plastic Pollution Coalition, and then upload a photo of yourself using your reusable water bottle. The deadline is July 2, 2010, so you&amp;#8217;d better go green fast.

            <title>Eco-Friendly Living: Natural Swimming Pools We Want</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3687071&amp;cid=t_201808_87_f&amp;fid=36050&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fblisstree.com%2Flive%2Fnatural-pools-we-want%2F</link>
            <description>Every summer, we spend hours dreaming of the massive, crystal-clear swimming pool we&amp;#8217;d lounge at for hours a day, if only we could get that winning Lotto ticket. But this summer, our daydreams have taken a more eco-friendly route. Instead of lusting after chemical-filled traditional swimming pools, we&amp;#8217;re drooling over natural swimming pools.
Natural swimming pools require no chemicals, and they&amp;#8217;re self-cleaning. Different installation companies use different methods to ensure cleanliness, like aquatic vegetation, UV filters, or waterfalls. The pools even ward off mosquitoes, because the water is constantly moving. We&amp;#8217;ll be using the gorgeous pool below to fulfill our fantasies, but you can browse a full slideshow of inspired natural pools at The Daily Green.

            <title>Smell Test: Fragrance Company Scenting Low-Income Housing to Make Residents Happy</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3683592&amp;cid=t_201808_87_f&amp;fid=36050&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fblisstree.com%2Flive%2Fsmell-test-fragrance-company-scenting-low-income-housing-to-make-residents-happy%2F</link>
            <description>Scent-branding is part of the marketing plan for several retail outlets, hotels, and even casinos. Just step into a W Hotel and note the eerily similar smell to the last one you visited. Like color and light, smells can evoke emotions, making consumers happy and thus more likely to spend, return, and build brand loyalty.
But one scent company is actually applying this to a living space: International Flavors and Fragrances has created a special scent that they&amp;#8217;re planning to pump into a low-income housing building in the South Bronx, New York, filling the hallways and common spaces with – we kid you not – L&amp;#8217;Eau Vert du Bronx du Sur. The &amp;#8220;Green Water of South Bronx&amp;#8221; is meant to evoke happiness and optimism for the 200 building residents.

Although Nairobi is as soccer-crazed as the rest of the world right now, residents of Kibera, the largest slum in Africa, didn&amp;#8217;t think they&amp;#8217;d be able to watch the 2010 FIFA World Cup, because they don&amp;#8217;t have electricity. That is, until Solafrica, a Swiss nonprofit, provided them with a portable solar power station to run a large TV.
And Solafrica didn&amp;#8217;t stop there. In partnership with Greenpeace, they trained local young people to make simple solar-powered LED lamps to replace the kerosene ones being used in Kibera. Solafrica might be our first official nonprofit crush of the World Cup. If they figure out a way to recycle all the vuvuzelas being used in South Africa, we&amp;#8217;d let them wear our pin.

            <description>Singing your favorite Motown singles while you suds up might not seem like a big deal, but your bathtime serenades are likely keeping you in the shower longer, eating up unnecessary water and energy. Green Thing&amp;#8217;s Short Sharp Showercast is designed to get you showering faster and saving water, with brief, fun playlist.
Bonus: The list has songs from several lesser-known bands and singers, so you can have something other than Beyoncé stuck in your head all day.

The World Cup is rapidly approaching, and South Africa is keeping it eco-friendly. Five stadiums that will be used in the games all embody some environmentally-friendly practices. Two are new, two are old, and one is remodeled, but all are leaning toward being as &amp;#8220;green&amp;#8221; as possible in their own specific ways.
The new stadiums were built with solar power capabilities; are flexible enough to be used for other events in the future; and one even has a rainwater collection system. While the older stadiums aren&amp;#8217;t equipped with solar panels or anything high-tech, they&amp;#8217;re age helps make them environmentally friendly. Rather than tearing down perfectly good, usable stadiums, opting to use preexisting structures is definitely a responsible choice. Finally...</description>

Check out Greenr, a green living website that focuses on practical ways to help make the planet more eco-friendly – starting with your home and personal life, but extending to technology, transportation, and global issues (like the recent disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico).
But today we like Greenr for telling us about two super-cool eco-conscious inventions:
– The &amp;#8220;sOccket,&amp;#8221; a soccer ball that generates electricity the more it&amp;#8217;s kicked around during play – developed by four Harvard women students in their engineering class (think soccer-obsessed developing nations that lack reliable electrical grids).

Are you practicing &amp;#8220;green&amp;#8221; living in your home?  Perhaps it&amp;#8217;s difficult to do so in an Alzheimer&amp;#8217;s home.  Perhaps you&amp;#8217;re not too enthusiastic about &amp;#8220;going green&amp;#8221; and feel it takes too much effort.  Maybe you don&amp;#8217;t believe it helps.
You don&amp;#8217;t have to be a fanatic, simply practice some frugal ways that also may help the environment and your home.
At our home, we:

Separate the cans and bottles to take to the town recycling center.  (They sort of require this.)
Used cold water rinsing for the clothes.  (This should help cut down on the electric bill if you heat your water with electricity.)
Kept the paper trash separate from the kitchen trash so we can put it into the paper collection at the recycling center. (This also i...</description>

            <description>You have nothing to lose by going green***Everyone needs a pat on the back sometimes. As the nights draw in and the schedule comes under pressure, it can be hard for children to stay on track. This is where motivation is key. We all respond well to praise, recognition and rewards and this is a way of helping our children realize that we not only notice their efforts but we appreciate how hard they’re trying. First it’s important to narrowly taylor your reward to your particular child. For example, many struggle with homework. It may be that you want to award them for completing their homework in a timely manner over a period of time, such as a week or a month. However, that may be setting the bar too high. Maybe an award for their best efforts is more appropriate or perhaps an award fo...</description>

Even though I sometimes feel &amp;#8220;green&amp;#8221; is concentrated on almost too much in our lives, our work, our travel, our recreation, our clothing, and interior decorating, it seems to be a popular buzz word right now.  We have discussed this before at Alzheimer&amp;#8217;s Notes.
I&amp;#8217;ve been writing travel articles for years and once was editor of a regional travel publication.  Currently I write a travel column, Vagabond Traveler, for American Roads Travel Magazine.
I decided to expand upon this and write The &amp;#8220;Green&amp;#8221; Vagabond Traveler as a blog and see where it goes.  Although the blog features traveling and what I encounter in my travels, it also touches upon &amp;#8220;green&amp;#8221; as it affects various aspects of our lives.
