Please join the Bicycle to Work! LinkedIn networking group. Members pledge that they will try to ride their bicycle to work or on an errand at least once a week. Although the benefits should be obvious, let me outline them here. Right now people in the industrialized world are facing two very grave problems: obesity and a growing scarcity of oil. Compounding this problem is the new food shortage brought about, in part, by the conversion of food cropland to bio-fuel crop production. Most people feel powerless to help, but there is one thing that we can do. Ride our bicycles to work. If everyone would agree to ride their bikes to work one day per week we could cut oil consumption by as much as 10-15%. No one would argue that riding a bike burns more calories than driving the car. Although popular politically right now, most bio-fuels consume more energy than they produce. We would be much better to eat those bio-crops then use our own energy to transport us around. So spread the word. Make it a movement! Bicycle to work one day a week and do your part to cut back obesity and the overuse of oil and precious cropland. Just go to my profile at http://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffreylstevenson and you can click on the group to be included. While you are there, don't forget to ask to link to my network of more than 9,000,000 like-minded professionals. I accept all invitations and look forward to meeting you. Jeff Hi.

]]> Comment on Picking up dog poop, plastic bags and the environment. by Michelle Cherry http://wildmountainonline.wordpress.com/2008/01/27/picking-up-dog-poop-plastic-bags-and-the-environment/#comment-1160 Michelle Cherry Sun, 01 Jun 2008 05:33:51 +0000 http://wildmountainonline.wordpress.com/?p=175#comment-1160 Have you heard of FLUSHADOO? FLUSHADOO is a flushable, water soluble, eco friendly, doggie doo bag. It is the modern GREEN alternative to plastic doggie doo pick up bags. It is safe for septic tanks and easy to use. Most importantly, FLUSHADOOs stay out of landfills, oceans and helps to keep our waterways and planet clean. Sadly, plastic doggie doo bags are both prolific and devastating. During the 1,000 years they take to decompose they leak a toxic mix of plastic particles and dog waste. Bacteria seeps into groundwater by poor dog waste practices. Our waste is strictly treated so why should pet waste be different? Dr. Gurminder Singh of the UCLA Green Institute believes FLUSHADOO is the environmentally friendly and responsible way to dispose of dog waste. Untreated dog waste is washed into rivers, lakes, bays and oceans by rain. Waterways are adversely affected by dog waste. Scientists have even labeled this concept "The Fido Hypothesis." Dog waste contains E. coli, Salmonella, Tuberculosis and Bellyworm. Though the EPA is gradually requiring states to comply with the Clean Water Act currently most dog waste sits in plastic wrapped time-bombs in landfills. In addition, over the last 50 years, every piece of plastic that has made it from our shores to the Pacific Ocean has been breaking down and accumulating in the central Pacific gyre which is now referred to as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Be part of the POO-LUTION solution, by using FLUSHADOO on your next walk with your four legged best friend. Say NO to plastic and join the movement by using FLUSHADOO. For more information about how you as a dog owner can help keep our planet healthy visit www.FLUSHADOO.com or call 877-DOFLUSH.

Insist that all plastic bags and packaging are made from oxo-bio. It self-destructs after a short time leaving no harmful residues, and there is little or no extra cost. Compostable plastic is not the answer, because it is much too expensive for ordinary people, it emits methane in landfill, and it cannot be recycled. There are in any event very few industrial composting facilities, and composters do not want plastic in the feedstock. Home composting of contaminated packaging is dangerous, because the temperature is too low to kill the pathogens.

My fondest memories of Bo are along the hiking trails of Santa Fe where he took Rio and Indie under his tail and showed them the ropes. Bo's adventurous spirit was contagious. He possessed a determination to always be on the move and explore new things. I know Jon and Bo were especially great friends and shared many special times together. But I know that Rio will miss him the most -- brothers, best friends, companions they were. Bo, you lived a long and full life -- one to be admired by any human or beast. xoxoxo, Aunt Laura, Nora, Rose, Indie & Boyd Bo was a grand old man…one of the more vocal canines I have known but he just had a lot to say!
