Green Headlines - Feb. 9, 2007

EcoSherpa Green News

Interesting stories to share from the last couple days. Of course I couldn’t resist adding some algae-biofuel headlines in there (3 & 4) - the first is an interview with Jack Lewnard from Greenfuel Technologies, and the second is a excellent article from WorldChanging - I highly recommend you check it out for a great overview of the algae-biofuel topic. Some of the other headlines are pretty self explanatory, but I’ll touch on the last two. It seems that Australian scientists are experimenting with slow-burning technique used by Amazonian indians as a way to lock up carbon - very short article, but I’ll definitely be interested to hear more about this.
The last story falls into the ‘aw shucks’ category. I find it unbelievable that there are still city schools in North America that don’t have recycling programs but at any rate, one young girl took it upon herself to get a recycling program up and running for her school! Fantastic.
