New Documentary: "A Chemical Reaction"

One town's fight against pesticides on lawns and the serious side effects on people and especially children, including rashes and hospitalizations. Playing at film festivals in 2009, and hopefully due for general release soon. Check out their web site and a movie trailer here: http://www.pfzmedia.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=frontpage&Itemid=53

My note on their guest book:

I tried an organic lawn until...

...the foreclosure. I read an article on organic lawn care in Conscious Choice magazine. ( http://www.lime.com/magazines?uri=consciouschoice.com/lime/2006/07/organiclawns0607.html ) I had also been reading the Sanibel-Captiva Islander, which is the local news paper for Sanibel & Captiva islands, which are small barrier islands off the coast of Florida next to Fort Meyers, FL. There were several articles on red tide and people getting sick from eating shellfish during red tide blooms. People can die from that; red tide is an algal bloom supported in large part by fertilizer runoff from the Mississippi River, and coming from lawns and farms in the Midwest. I'm in Chicago. I've been to Sanibel, it's beautiful. I've eaten sea food there. Red tide produces a neurotoxin similar to nerve gas in its effects. We are literally poisoning our soil, the oceans, and our Southern neighbors for pretty lawns. I would love to get a copy of this film!

Taking Care of Business

By Joel Makower

The watchwords this week seem to be "efficiency," "productivity," and "stimulus."

Not that the three necessarily go hand in hand; there is little indication that President Obama's economic stimulus efforts are enhancing productivity and profits at the company level. But the presence of several stories on these topics this week provide a glimpse into the Zeitgeist of business and the environment.

The fact that many companies are focused like a laser on productivity and efficiency is not surprising, given the perilous state of the economy. What's encouraging is how much companies are (finally!) tapping their energy and resource use as a font of efficiency gains. Healthcare giant Baxter reported last week that water conservation, energy efficiency, green building projects and other eco-friendly initiatives yielded nearly $12 million in environmental income, savings and cost avoidance last year, helping to ensure the company's health. Meanwhile, Cisco reported that telecommuting has saved the company $277 million by allowing employees to telework. (Of course, Cisco sells technology used by telecommuters. Not to discount its impressive experience, but can any company not selling such equipment cite similarly impressive savings? I'd love to know.)

And then there's the economic stimulus, about which Marc Gunther reports on a web-based tool to track how the $787 billion in federal government largesse is being spent. The website is a private-sector effort that, Gunther reports, is doing a better job than the government itself in keeping us apprised of where all that money is going.

Of course, it's not just the U.S. ... Read More

ECO BAGS AND HATS
Tote Eclipse of the Heart
If 10,000 Chicago Biters opt for a handbag made from repurposed rather than new fabric, we'll keep the weight of 58 Bonnie Tylers in usable material out of landfills.
Every now and then does your bag literally fall apart? There's something you can do: Get a new one at Ecozini, which takes old jeans, retro tees, and logo sweatshirts, and stitches them into over-the-shoulder, hobo-style bags with a late '80s, early '90s vibe. Think perfect-for-the-beach Big Totes (with inside pocket for cell or sunscreen); clutch-size Mini Bags; and reversible hats (shady, floppy bucket style). If you need a bag now more than ever, try a denim one painted by a local graffiti artist - new this month.
Why Care?
Opting for clothes and accessories made from reclaimed material keeps new resources out of production and old ones outta landfills.

Personally Speaking
We've got our eye on a bright green denim tote graffiti-d, Fresh Prince style, with no-VOC paint (see photo).

Wanna Try?
Ecozini, available at the Andersonville Galleria, 5247 N. Clark St. (773-360-7730). Graffiti Bags, $50 and up; Mini Bags, $15-$20.

Map It

Mention this tip when you buy at the Galleria, and get 20% off Ecozini stuff through Jul. 15.

Celebrate Summer
Bonnie Tyler's 1983 power ballad "Total Eclipse of the Heart" was inspired by Emily Brontë's novel Wuthering Heights.
