A weekly wrap up of green and socially minded business news from the gang at TriplePundit.com. Will Hailing Green Cabs by Twitter Catch On? - It's possible in London right now. This green start-up thinks it's going to be a hit. Or at least a great marketing tool. Cal Poly Caves - Michael Pollan's scheduled lecture at California Polytechnic State University had to be turned into a panel discussion at the behest of a major donor, who happens to own Harris Ranch, a beef producer. No blood was shed on stage, but it does beg a few questions. Food Compost: There's Gold in Those Green Bins - Farmers love the quality soil, and waste management companies save space in landfills while reducing methane - it all adds up to better profits for both. London Reinvents the Drinking Fountain - It blows my mind that this is a new thing in the 21st century, but good old drinking fountains are making a comeback, with a twist.

A weekly wrap up of green and socially minded business news from the gang at TriplePundit.com Are Trustmarks Badly Designed? - BBMG's Mitch Baranowski weighs in on the design of "Trustmarks" - Energy Star, Recyclable, USDA Organic and so on. There's a lot of evidence they fall on deaf ears, and poor design is part of the problem - but an easy one to fix. Latisse vs Lumigan: What's the difference? - Nothing actually, one's a branded drug to give you bigger eyelashes, the other brand treats glaucoma. Hilarity ensues when the FDA issues conflicting warnings. 50% of Americans Want to Work in a "Green" Company - The gang from Fairridge looks at yet more reasons companies can and should go green. Potential employees are far more likely to check them out, and existing employees are better motivated.

Green Labor Day, The Anti-Starbucks, Snow Leopard & More

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 17:33:33 GMT

A weekly wrap up of green and socially minded business news from the gang at TriplePundit.com A Green Labor Day What's the definition of a "green job"?. What's a "green economy"? Can either represent a better, more viable economy than the one we've got now? 3p contributors and readers pondered these questions in our week long green labor day series. Age of the Anti Starbucks? Starbucks' new unbranded 15th St. Coffee & Tea Shop (aka the "anti-starbucks") could be a new model for large companies to re-engage with local communities - or is it just local-washing? So, Can a Global Company Be Local? Keeping with the same theme, Terracycle's Tom Szaky invents the term "glocalizing" to describe a UK project with Kraft that's aimed at sourcing local waste to create interesting products locally while introducing the global TerraCycle brand to the UK. How Green Should Kiva Be? Microlending has the potential to bring millions out of poverty, in both developing nations as well as the United States. Should it carry an explicitly green message or is it already green just by its very nature? Snow Leopard Fails the Green Test It may save millions on energy, but when you get a box in the mail big enough for 15 DVDs you have to ask questions.... Read the full story on TreeHugger

Welcome to TreeHugger 2.0

Thu, 21 Dec 2006 15:14:14 GMT

Drum roll..... this is it folks, the new spanking clean and super fancy TreeHugger 2.0. We've been working our tails off to get the site better looking, better organized, and more user friendly and what you see here is what we've come up with. We've got better, more clear categorization, some cleaner design, nifty post "hoppers" on the side to help you navigate, and a few more things to come! Have fun poking around and let us know if anything's broken (as if that could possibly happen). I really hope you like it and want to send some special shouts of thanks out to Michael Graham Richard, our chief editor, Eva Jacobus who helped in the migration, Federico Silvka - the master designer from Barcelona, as well as Jessica Root, our priceless manager and Graham Hill for busting this whole thing together. Note from Michael: And of course, we all want to thank our excellent media architect, master of all things technical and of actually implementing all these fancy ideas that we come up with (and coming up with a lot of them himself), Nick Aster. We've all been working really hard lately, but I'm sure that he had an extra dose of that. Thanks Nick!... Read the full story on TreeHugger

TreeHugger 2.0 Sneak Peek and Request for Comments

Fri, 13 Oct 2006 19:23:00 GMT

Here's a little fun for your weekend! A sneak preview of the soon-to-be new-and-improved TreeHugger. We've been toiling day and night on all corners of the globe to get the site better organized, better looking, and faster. The following mock up is what we've got to show for ourselves so far. It shouldn't be too long until we get things running faster in generall too. I decided that the most useful input we could get from you all would be from a totally blind preview - no explanations, no hints, just have a look and tell us what you think as a regular TreeHugger reader, or as if you were landing here for the first time. Bear in mind, this is just a graphical mock up and none of the links work, all the text is dummy text, and Robert Redford has no idea we stole his mugshot. The one thing I enabled is the "post jumper" click navigation. Have fun, be merciless in your critiques, and generous in your praise. SNEAK PEEK HERE.... Read the full story on TreeHugger

An Inconvenient Truth - Coming to a Theatre Near You

Fri, 19 May 2006 19:01:54 GMT

Al Gore's film "An Inconvenient Truth" opens in NY and LA on My 24th, and in other cities shortly thereafter. You can get the whole list of opening dates by clicking "find a theater" on the film's website. All in all, it's a fantastic, satisfying, and inspiring film. It lays down an explanation of global warming in wonderfully articulate detail. Coupled with what we like to refer to as the "sustainability tipping point", I believe it will represent the first large scale moment of awakening to the issue for the American public. This really is the experience that will leave no doubt in anyone's mind of the severe realities of what could face us. But understanding the issue is only the first step. Whether or not this film produces positive action, despair, or denial is the big question. Problem number one is that there will be a well financed backlash to this film. Please read on for more...... Read the full story on TreeHugger

Chicago Climate Exchange 101

Fri, 19 May 2006 17:43:07 GMT

I've been talking about The Chicago Climate Exchange a lot over on Triple Pundit, but I thought it was time TreeHugger readers got a little 101 on this very interesting cap and trade program to reduce CO2 emissions. One of the most effective methods of reducing a particular pollutant is to create a cap and trade program. This means that an authority such as government states that only some amount of the pollutant will be permitted, per year, and that each company in the country or state is permitted some amount, generally a bit less than their historical norm. After that, if a company manages to reduce its emissions by a greater amount than they were legally bound to, they may sell the "right to pollute" to other companies who have been unable to meet their target. The United States created a very effective cap and trade program to deal with Sulphur Dioxide in1990, and the EU has now begun using cap and trade as a way to reduce CO2 - in keeping with the Kyoto accord. But what's a country to do if they're not a Kyoto signatory, and their government doesn't want to create a market for a particular emission, say CO2? Simple - get a bunch of companies together and create your own market! A growing group of companies, including DuPont, Dow, Ford, Bayer and numerous city governments (see the impressive list here) have signed on to a legally binding contract to reduce their emissions, and trade their right to pollute on a free market exhange based in Chicago - the CCX. So what would possess a major corporation to voluntarily do anything a long these lines, much less legally bind themselves to do so? Read on for the reasons...... Read the full story on TreeHugger

Bikes on Transit: The Bay Area Story

Mon, 01 May 2006 01:47:54 GMT

Despite all the fabulous development in hybrids and alternative fuels lately, we all know that the best ecological choice you can make is to ditch the guzzler altogether and ride a bike! It's cheap, healthy, and sometimes even faster (if you live in a hectic city like I do). Unfortunately, biking isn't always practical for a great many people who either live too far, have poor bike infrastructure, or just don't have the information to make it seem feasible. That said, certain transit agencies are starting to tackle the first of those problems by making room for bikes on trains and busses. It's an ideal solution for long distance commuters who might live a mile or two from a train station and also work a mile or two from a station on the other end. In the Bay Area, the various transit agencies have done a decent job in this regard. How about your neck of the woods? It seems to me a great way to give people more options - making both transit and biking easier. Because I live here, I'll give a little breakdown of what's available around the Golden Gate. After the jump, tell us what's going on in your area...... Read the full story on TreeHugger

Thanks to Pair Networks (again)

Mon, 24 Apr 2006 02:10:12 GMT

Once again, it's time to give a shout out to Pair Networks, our reliable and responsive web host. They've been steadily upgrading our hosting as TreeHugger grows, and have a pretty solid environmental consiousness that we've mentioned before. Last Friday we had a big jump in traffic that temporarily ground us to a halt. I got on the phone with Pair and they threw in some extra memory for us and got us back on track in no time - awesome customer service can be as important as any green policy when it comes to running a company sustainably. Anyway, we've got some new gadgetry up our sleeves so look forward to a faster site in the near future. As always, toss any tech questions or trouble my way! Nick at TreeHugger!...

The TH Interview: L. Hunter Lovins, Part II

Thu, 02 Mar 2006 17:51:16 GMT

Ed West and I are excited to bring Treehugger readers the second part of our interview with L. Hunter Lovins. In the first part of our interview, Hunter talked about work she's been doing to strengthen local economies in a sustainable manner and some specific projects she's been spearheading in Afghanistan. In case you missed part one, have a click here and give it a read. Part one also ended with a survey which we hope will strengthen the case for socially and environmentally sustainable economic development in Afghanistan. If you haven't had a chance to take the survey, please take a couple minutes and do so here. Without further ado, let's get back to where we left off. Hi Hunter, thanks again for talking with us. Much of what ties together your work involves demonstrating that there is a business case for sustainability. What are the problems we're facing, and how does business play a role? Capitalism is the worst economic system... except for all the rest! It has many flaws that its critics are quick to point out. What we now have is what you might call a "market democracy," which can be summed up as: How many politicians can you afford to buy? This sort of capitalism is a part of what's driving us in the direction of "unsustainability." But it is also bad capitalism. I believe capitalism, conducted according to its real logic, is an important part of the solution to the very serious challenges facing us today. The business community has not only the opportunity, but the obligation to step up and take a leadership role in crafting a future that works for us all. The business leaders that accept this challenge will be the billionaires of tomorrow. The rest....well, as Ed Wollard of DuPont once said, "They won't be a problem, because they won't be around."...

The TH Interview: L. Hunter Lovins

Tue, 21 Feb 2006 21:59:05 GMT

L. Hunter Lovins is perhaps best known for her work as co-founder and CEO of Rocky Mountain Institute, an internationally recognized research center, widely celebrated for its innovative thinking in energy and resource issues. She has also co-authored dozens of papers and nine books, including the landmark work, Natural Capitalism: Creating the Next Industrial Revolution, which has helped to bring the concepts of "natural capital" and Natural Capitalism into mainstream business thinking through her company, Natural Capitalism Solutions. Her areas of interest and expertise include Natural Capitalism, globalization, governance, land management, energy, water, green real-estate development, and community economic development. In 2001, Hunter was named one of four people from North America to serve as a delegate to the United Nations Prep Conference for Europe and North America for the World Summit on Sustainable Development. She was also a Commissioner in the State of the World Forum's Commission on Globalization, co-chaired by Mikhail Gorbachev, Jane Goodall, and Vandana Shiva. She has consulted for governments and the private sector, briefing senior management at Interface Inc., Bank of America, Allstate, Royal Dutch/Shell and many other companies, as well as the World Bank & International Monetary Fund. She holds a J.D. degree from Loyola University and several honorary doctorates. In 2000, she was named a Hero of the Planet by Time Magazine. She is currently the president and founder of Natural Capitalism Solutions, Inc. as well as a Professor of Sustainability at the Presidio School of Management - the first accredited MBA program in Sustainable Management. In the first half of this two-part interview, Hunter talks a bit about her current international work promoting and implementing sustainability around the world.... Read the full story on TreeHugger

MOMA, still out in Queens at the moment, has just opened a new show on skyscrapers called TALL BUILDINGS. What makes it interesting, aside from some really great models, is what they have chosen to emphasize. Green architecture is one category which received more than the usual scant attention it generally receives. Better yet, they have related it to specific and popular projects currently being developed in New York and London. Show July 16 - September 27th. [by kevin leicinger] ::www.moma.org ...

This is actually a very small show compared to the one the Design Museum in London put on a year or two ago.
