GB#24 - That’s It, I’m Done!By Kevin Humphrey | Related entries in General, GreenBlogathon2006
Well, I’ve got material here to make it to 25 posts, but it’s just a few minutes until my 12 hours are up and my brains are fried, so 24 it’ll have to be.
Some final sho

sustainablog: GB #1: Let's Get This Party Started...

Those were the words I used to kick off last summer's Blogging 'Round the Clock. They were true then, but even truer now as we've got a definite party going on tonight (Shea's even drinking beer! -- ;-)).

sustainablog: GB #2: Now, I Get It...

I read this news, and understand perfectly now why Dubya's suddenly on his renewable energy kick: the Carlyle Group's getting into it:

sustainablog: GB #7: Green Faith

At various times during the night, I'll link to posts from the other folks that are taking part in the Green Blogathon. Jen at Lutheren Geekiness Goes Green has a nice explanation of her "green faith"

sustainablog: GB #11: Soy Foam Insulation

Once again borrowing from one of my fellow Green Blogathoners, Groovy Green points us to an article from The Green Guide on greener home insulation choices:

Now that greatgreengoods is up and with us, I can steal posts from her! Really, though, this is pretty cool:

sustainablog: That's All, Folks...

I hit my 24 posts a bit early, but am going to call it quits. Other members of the group are still blogging, though -- a few started this morning -- so go visit.

Dirty Greek - GB #7 - Pesticide Contamination

GB #7 - Pesticide Contamination - Dirty Greek - Any such chemicals that aren't absorbed run off into the ground, causing water contamination. Pesticides and other agrochemicals can cause problems directly for laborers as well. Thousands of Costa Rican banana workers are rendered infertile by nematicides, and thousands more are at risk of the same fate. In the 1970s, at least 73,230 pesticide poisonings occurred there.

Dirty Greek - GB #12 - Rustle The Leaf

Dirty Greek - GB #15 - Living On Earth

GB #15 - Living On Earth - Dirty Greek - This week's Living On Earth, just like every week, is great. This week, though, they have a story on fusion power, including a bit about cold fusion. Boy oh boy, if we could only get cold fusion to actually work, we'd be in a serious bit of good.

Or would we?

BLOGATHON » Post #1: Gettin’ Our Groove On Here

Got my caffeine.

Let the fun begin!

To start off, I thought I should probably give you a little info on the National Parks Conservation Association. They are a group whose objectives are

BLOGATHON » Post #3: Seeds for Afghanistan

Since late 2001, Seeds for Afghanistan has distributed ? by hand, directly to the people who need them ? more than 2 million packages of vegetable andflower seeds.

BLOGATHON » Post #10: Great Sand Dunes National Monument & Preserve

Among the largest and highest in the United States, these dunes were deposited over thousands of years by southwesterly winds blowing through the passes of the lofty Sangre de Cristo Mountains.

BLOGATHON » Post #12: Yosemite National Park

Often called ?the Incomparable Valley,? Yosemite Valley may be the world's best-known example of a glacier-carved canyon. The dramatic scale of its leaping waterfalls, rounded domes, massive monoliths, and towering cliffs has inspired painters, poets, photographers and millions of visitors.

BLOGATHON » Post #29: Being Green in a Red State

I'm a native of a blue state, moved to a red state (Ohio), moved to another blue state (Meeenehsoooootah), and am back in a red state (Montana).

BLOGATHON » Post #46: Appalachian National Scenic Trail

The highlight of the Appalachian Trail in New Hampshire is the beautiful, rugged White Mountains, the dramatic scenery of which attracts more backcountry visitors than any other part of the Trail.

BLOGATHON » All Things Must Come To An End…

It is now (at least when this post hits the server) 2100 MST and I have blogged for my full 24 hours. I want to say a big THANKS to Shea for organizing this, and to Jeff, Kevin, George, Liz, Ryan, Mike, and Michael who let me be a part of their group during this strange yet enjoyable period of time.

greatgreengoods.com » The Blog-a-thon Begins!!

Woo wee here we go starting off the Great Green Blogathon (it technically isn't ?great green? but we take a few liberities here at GreatGreenGoods). I have signed up for 12 hours and am woefully unprepared. I am joined by my fellow green bloggers, Musings of an Eco-Entrepreneur, Sustainablog, Unplugged Living, Peaceful Waters and Groovy Green.

greatgreengoods.com » One reason to recycle:

Let me introduce you to Steven Moore. He spent 7 years as a Registered Sanitarian (note to self: interesting job title!) in the state of Ohio. He is outraged at the open dumping occuring along the Great Miami River in Ohio. This picture tells the story.

greatgreengoods.com » The Junkman and his Junk Music

Several years ago, Donald Knaack made a commitment to exclusively compose-for and perform-on junk, objects that have been discarded and everyday household objects - all recycled for the purpose of music. The result is called Junk Music ?.

It's Official! Welcome to Alternative Source

So, just what is Alternative Source?

Alternative Source is intended to be an information source for alternative energy (AE). We collect data from all over the web and publish it in a series of weblogs: News, Resources, the Directory and the Weblog.

The Green Blogathon

Shea Gunther has the details of who is participating, and just what this is all about.

As mentioned above, we will be participating by writing and also finishing up a few details that are left to clean up on the site.

We'll be blogging for The Nature Conservancy, and have pledges of up to one Euro per post. We shouldn't have any trouble reaching 75 Euros or 75 posts, as I've decided to include news, directory and resource items in the mix. Those are much easier and quicker to blog.

The Alternative Energy Tipping Point - Is it Here, Will it Happen?

The very idea that the title of this article suggests may seem a bit geographically arrogant. How could a concept like the use of alternative energy sources, with its global scope, be considered to tip at a given moment? Perhaps, then, this question is too far reaching?

Groovy Green » Let’s Kick The Tires and Light The Green Fires!

And, we're off! The 2006 Green Blog-A-Thon has started! Michael, Steve, and Chris will be your hosts tonight and we'll be doing our best to bring you interesting articles for the next 24-hours. Please feel free to leave comments and get us chatting?especially after midnight.

Groovy Green » #2: “Lunar” Hydropower Coming to NY’s East River

Business Week is reporting that this summer, six underwater turbines will begin to supply 200 kW of clean power to a Roosevelt Island supermarket - Gristedes. It is the first of it's kind project in New York City, and will supply roughly half of the store's peak electricity needs.

Groovy Green » #23: Need Wall Insulation? How about Soy?

Good home insulation is imperative in reducing energy waste. Any insulation, if properly installed can substantially reduce monthly utility bills, dampen outside noise, and improve the value of your home. A soybean-based polyurethane foam, BioBase501 and Healthyseal, have recently received attention for their eco-sustainability.

Groovy Green » #22: Great Lakes Ice Free For First Time In 100+ Years

Well, this should come as no surprise as January was the hottest month on record. However, it is amazing?especially for someone who grew up on Lake Erie?that there is no ice present anywhere. The NY Times is reporting that businesses usually dependent on the ice for customers are losing substantial amounts of money. For the first time in it's 100 year history, the Miller Boat Ferry Line ran across Lake Erie throughout the entire month of January?which meant less business for private air carriers.

Groovy Green » #15: Eco-Friendly Laptop?

Wal-Mart has just teamed up with Toshiba America to produce a laptop that is RoHS-compliant.

The RoHS (Restriction on Hazardous Substance) is a European Parliament measure which prohibits the use of specified hazardous substances in electrical and electronic devices. The directive will take effect on July 1, 2006.

There is some back channel discussion going on amongst the green bloggers about windpower so I thought I would throw in a quick interview I did with the Canadian Wind Energy Association

One of the many concepts that I am going to be focussing on around here is that of cycles. I am fascinated by cycles and there are a number of strong arguments as to why we should collectively think more about them.

Green Blogathon audio post #3

Some pick me up music for my fellow green bloggers, some rambling (lost my list) about besustainable/Sounds Sustainable, organic Mac and Cheese (not recommended!!!), and other green tidbits. Enjoy!

.:the be sustainable weblog:. » Blog Archive » I’ve got a 22 month old that loves Junk Music

I just read about Junk Music at Great Green Goods and I went to check out more about it at junkmusic.org . Check out the junk music player for more sample tracks. My son is a very big fan, especially of the Wood Music. I will have to see about having the Junkman himself on a future episode of Sounds Sustainable.
