POPSPassed Green Jobs/ Green NY According to this the program is already in effect, but specific NYS communities have been selected for the funding through a "competitive solicitation process" and the funds should eventually trickle through local contractors, utilities, and community groups that partner w/ a rep sample of some poor people or that have an office in a poor neighborhood. ...I really shouldn't be so cynical, it is just so hard not to be when you can't afford a hot water heater.

POPSGreen Schools Maybe I'm just missing something that has been going on behind the scenes, but it seems to me that the Buffalo Board of Education has not been incorporating rigorous standards into the massive rehabilitation of the schools which started a couple of years ago- but I will have to check on this a bit more. I think that it would probably be beneficial to halt the plans in order to incorporate more green strategies rather than continueing on at this point and then having to make changes in a couple of years when the government requires such measures of public facilities.

POPSGreen Demolishing... um, Washing Buffalo Why The Mayor of Buffalo is the Biggest Contributor to Greenhouse Gas in Buffalo, NY. Maybe they just don't understand that by sending perfectly above average sustainably harvested wood products to the dump and building new houses with unsustainably harvested wood they are damaging our planet as well as our culture. How can we as a city claim to be trying to woo green businesses when our actions and policies support this kind of hypocrisy?
