For the last few weeks, the business has been working on the new product line launch. As with anything new, it's time-consuming. Throw in an election, and I haven't had time to spend on my favorite sites. Being a Saturday afternoon, and not having a soccer game to coach during the day, I was able to check a few of my faves. Dot Earth had the video from two EPA lawyers talking about stuff elected officials can't - Cap and Trade only hits the edges, and in the end. won't really do anything except create new "shock doctrine" industries. Sustainable is Good had the article about Energy Star products tending to be misleading, especially for companies that self-verify. Re-Nest presented a Pew survey results showing what people think they need now, as opposed to years ago. The Center for Science in the Public Interest applauded the new FDA for appearing to follow-through on threats to companies with either misleading advertisements or unsafe practices, including a potential ban on alcoholic-energy "drinks." Tonic launched the end of the decade salvo with a 7-minute abridged video of the past 10 years.
The bottom line - people still act in the own self-interest. Leaders need to be the change and voices of reason.
