Nice to see this in North Carolina

"More plastic bottles have been dropped off at the county's three centers since the landfill bottle ban was imposed, according to the City-County Utilities Division. From a monthly average of around 14,000 pounds of plastic for the period from September 2008 to September 2009, collections have risen to an average of about 19,000 a month for the first three months since the ban went into effect." [Treehugger]

CleanTechnica on recent wind power data

"In total, 37.5 GW of wind power were added in 2009, bringing total worldwide installations up to 157.9 GW. One third of these new installations were in China.

The US, despite projections that wind power would drop due to the recession, continued to see growth and remains on top in total installed capacity (but who knows for how long)."

Installed mainly on commercial fleet vehicles (80 fleets so far).." [Josie Garthwaite @earh2tech]

How to Cultivate Conscious Laziness - The Slow Issue - GOOD

"Embrace social media --

If you’re spending all day in bed, you want other people to know about it, and be jealous. So provide frequent and descriptive Twitter and Facebook updates about your day. “Gray bird on windowsill.” “Turning over now.” “Tahitian Gardenia candle worth the $20.”
