PHOTO OF THE WEEK
May 30, 2010Shock/shlock or sustainable/chic ?
Stumbled on this one on Grist the on-line magazine. Do you think this would get past the security guards at South Park Mall ? Or try taking it on the a.m. LYNX commute to Uptown ! The ad copy says, and we quote: “100% recycled canvas tote bag that is MADE IN THE USA by woman operated business. Yarn with Moral Fiber™ & Bottle Bag™ material. This Bag is made from 80% Ecotec™ – a blended cotton yarn produced from the excess fabric of newly made clothing – and 20% Bottle Bag™ made from 100% recycled soda bottles.”
What would YOU pay for this tote ? Or would you ? ?

Ray LaHood SPEAKS OUT
April 26, 20108 Minute segment on NPR News
DATELINE: April 25 – US Dept. of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announces what he’s calling a “sea change” in transportation policy. “We’re elevating it to the point where as we develop new road systems, as we develop communities where people can use light rail or street cars or buses, bike trails and walking paths will be equal partners, if you will, and equal components of those kinds of transportation opportunities in communities across America,” LaHood tells NPR’s Guy Raz.
LaHood is also pushing the idea of a nationwide interstate biking system. To listen to the full 8 minute segment and read the blog comments CLICK: LaHood gives the finger. And thanks to Kathy Z for passing this info onto CABA.
