Posted on June 27, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Credit: Jill Clardy . You might say they’re tapped out, so they’re tapping in. More U.S. cities are phasing out bottled water from their budgets, according to a national survey released by the U.S. Conference of Mayors . Those surveyed say they’re switching to tap water instead because it’s fiscally and environmentally responsible. Either way, it’s a refreshing sign, and should be a nice kick in the wallet to the bottled water marketing c… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Posted on May 31, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Steve McCallion writes a remarkable series in Fast Company asking “Why has Memorial Day, like so many of our national holidays, been reduced to appliance sales, fast food specials, and vacation deals?” He starts with Reinventing Memorial Day: Beyond the Mattress Blowout Sale : In this era of convenience and instant gratification–when mobile screens hold more interest than parades; when regulations are needed to prevent texting while driving; when TV idols are created in the time it takes to sing a song–it’s difficul… Read the full story on TreeHugger

The Plastiki’s Quest, and Questioning Plastic

Posted on May 31, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Images via The Plastiki Ever since the Industrial Revolution in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries it seems the barometers of success and modernity within society have been measured by our interaction, or rather lack of interaction, with the natural world. The formula appears to be simple: The more we package, mechanize, and force nature into the background, the more developed and evolved our society will become. What we produce and consume has become a representation of our values and identities. The almost automated desire to take nature and manipulate it to m… Read the full story on TreeHugger

The Story of Bottled Water

Posted on March 23, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The Story of Bottled Water, released on March 22, 2010 (World Water Day) employs the Story of Stuff style to tell the story of manufactured demand—how you get Americans to buy more than half a billion bottles of water every week when it already flows from the tap. Over five minutes, the film explores the bottled water industrys attacks on tap water and its use of seductive, environmental-themed advertising to cover up the mountains of plastic waste it produces. The film concludes with a call to take back the tap, not only by making a personal commitment to avoid bottled water, but by supporting investments in clean, available tap water for all. Our production partners on the bottled water film include five leading sustainability groups: Corporate Accountability International, Environmental Working Group, Food & Water Watch, Pacific Institute, and Polaris Institute. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Se12y9hSOM0&feature=player_embedded# added by: pjacobs51
