Green Buckeye Calendar - 10 June 2007
My del.icio.us Added to Sidebar
I've added a new element to this page. If you scroll down a bit, you'll see the "my del.icio.us" heading in the right sidebar with a list of links appearing below. These are links that I've discovered one way or another. Some are related to Central Ohio, some to sustainability, and some to my other, unrelated interests.As I add items to del.icio.us, the list here updates automatically. So you'll notice that the list will change periodically. I've set it up to display the links in reverse chronological order, so the newest items appear at the top.
If you have an interest in seeing other web sites or articles I've added to del.icio.us in the past, you can click the "my del.icio.us" heading. That takes you to my list of links on the del.icio.us web site. From there you can click on tags for topics of interest.

Columbus is a Cool City
Did you know Columbus is a Cool City? According to the Sierra Club website, this means that Mayor Michael Coleman has officially signed the U.S. Mayor's Climate Protection Agreement. So what does that mean? The web site says:"This commits the city to reducing its global warming emissions 7% below 1990 levels - an emissions reduction equal to what is required under the Kyoto Protocol."
And how is that supposed to happen? By "Implementing Smart Energy Solutions." That means investing in green buildings, fuel efficient city fleets, and powering homes with renewable energy.
What do you think? Are we making progress? What else could we be doing?
