POPShuman-power green enrgy exercise get your workout, watch tv, play wii, and generate the power for it all with your legs! yep... has been bohering me to think that we would use energy to burn energy- the typical exercise machine set-up. Can you imagine how much money the local gym would save if they started harnessing the power of the people?

POPSConservative squashes freedom of speech to destroy the Green for All Movement Looks like the Bush Commission is still having a stifling effect on the First Amendment- Freedom of Speech. The question of whether or not Former President Bush and Administration "allowed 9/11" to happen is pretty much irrelevant- the information that attacks were imminent was circulating within the government and it was not acted upon. Most people have probably forgotten that because Bush launched a war on Afganistan practically the same day the news came out.

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.

POPSbuffalo does nothing to reduce carbon footprint A shame. There is still a press release about mayor Brown signing this agreement after he took office, but we still have no action plan in place. The city is concerned about attracting green business, but there has been little effort to create sweeping changes that are necessary to develop the type of community these sought-after businesses would like to move into. Buffalo is not conducive for green business the way it is right now, because there is just too much work to be done. We have no green infrastructure. Hardly any workers skilled in green jobs, construction, too few citizens who have any idea what it is to live sustainably— we hardly recycle, our rainwater still blends with our shit, and permeable pavement is practically illegal in the hippest neighborhood we have.

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?
