Photo: Kelly Rossiter I’ve tried lots of vegetarian chilies over the years, but I seldom find them really satisfying. My book club was having a chocolate themed dinner and I found this recipe for Pinto Bean Mole Chili and decided to try it.

Photo credit: avilasal / Creative Commons When Washington, DC, passed the “Healthy Schools” initiative earlier this year, it took a leap ahead of the rest of the country in terms of serving quality, healthy, food in it’s school districts. With three in four students at risk of hunger and one in three overweight or obese, there is perhaps no place that needed such a program more. But now, due to a $188 million gap in the city’s budget, this program has been stripped of its funding…. Read the full story on TreeHugger

Photo: As You Sow When it comes to sweatshop-free supply chains, does your favorite fashion brand make the grade? More than a decade ago, in response to controversy sparked by sweatshop conditions in the U.S. companies’ global supply chains, apparel brands adopted vendor codes of conduct to avoid risks.

Stephen Del Percio, Lloyd Alter, Shari Shapiro, Chris Cheatham I follow the three leading bloggers on green building law closely; they make complicated and important issues affecting green building comprehensible. When I saw that they were all on a panel together at Greenbuild, I had to attend and meet them in person, and hear their responses to the question “What’s the Next Big Challenge in Green Building Law?” Although all three are great at making complex issues understandable to non-legal types, I still could not understand my notes well enough to do a post, so I asked them all to look into their crystal ball and send me their… Read the full story on TreeHugger

This Great Blue Heron, one of the first organisms to greet us upon arrival in the Galapagos, sure doesn’t seem to mind the tourists. All photos credit Collin Dunn. The Galapagos Islands are like no place on earth. The Galapagos Islands have too many tourists. The Galapagos Islands have some of the most interesting, unique plants, animals, landscape, and scenery in the world. The Galapagos Islands aren’t prepared to maintain the level of conservation necessary to preserve the natural wonder of this place in the face of increasing human impact.

photo via Smoke Free Texas I sat outside a Starbucks in Houston, Texas the other day, trying to enjoy my soy latte but I was surrounded by smokers. I didn’t ask them to stop–it was a smoking-allowed area–but perhaps I should have anyway, and I could have told them about a new study, published yesterday in The Lancet, which finds that secondhand smoking kills more than 600,000 lives each year around the world….
