Go join the fun: read post contributions from around the green blogosphere, leave a comment to be entered in a drawing for some great green prizes, and join in the Tweetchat at #susbppb.
A dance floor that creates energy actually does exist, just not at EcoVillage–yet!
From Sustainable Rotterdam and Club Watt:
The Sustainable Dance Floor, a concept devised by the Sustainable Dance Club has become reality at Club Watt. This movable surface, measuring about 30 square metres, converts the kinetic energy from dancers into electricity which is used to light up the floor. This is the first dance floor which actually uses the energy generated by the people dancing on it.</blockquote

“Health Care Reform Bill Signed! (need to fix an old cartoon)” reposted from WendMag’s Greenery page.
“When Climate Change and Health Care Reform Collide” from 9/15/09 (see revision below this cartoon)
Revision made 3/23/10 after Obama signed the Health Care Reform Bill that, among other things, allows people with preexisting conditions to receive health care.
Sure, it’s a lot less funny, but it’s also a lot less depressing. Of course, this joke is two-sided–Health Care reform and the state of the environment are both being addressed in the cartoon. The Health Care bill was signed today so the preexisting conditions part of the joke is null–but the fact that Mother Nature still needs immediate care is an issue.
Will we “get her taken care of?” And will it be “right away?”…

“If Only We Could See All Pollution” reposted from Wend magazine’s Greenery page.
In his final throes as “Worst Environmental President Ever,” W shocked the world when he designated nearly 200,000 square miles of the Pacific Ocean as conservation areas. According to ocean conservationist and educator Jean-Michel Cousteau
and the above linked Guardian article, it was at a White House presentation on the state of the oceans (read: world) that got Laura Bush turned on to the subject of conservation. Cousteau showed a variety of images from the Pacific Gyre and L became determined–to the dismay of D (Cheney)–to clean up the mess.
This got me thinking–”That’s the problem!” If we could only see pollution then EVERYONE would fight for cleanup and stop polluting at once. It is the simple fact that we cannot see the sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, volatile organic compounds, mercury, arsenic, lead, cadmium, and smog-forming particulates (for the most part) that coal-fired power plants fill our air and water (and therefore, us) with that keeps coal surviving and keeps these toxic emissions out of the mainstream carbon eliminating/global warming-related “discussion”.
I wish we could see what’s in our air and water… although, maybe ignorance is bliss…
