Have a look.  And please help spread the word about our site – we’re getting flooded with hits, it’s true, but we’re trying to reach an even broader audience of project managers.

Thanks.

It’s hardly news that pesticides can be dangerous and are very worth avoiding - both for your health and the environment.

But when your friends and family ask why you bother, having a solid grasp of the reasons to avoid them is always handy:

Pesticides and your health: What’s the problem?
As acknowledged by the U.S. and international government agencies, different pesticides have been linked with a variety of toxic effects, including:

• Nervous system effects
• Carcinogenic effects
• Hormone system effects
• Skin, eye and lung irritation

Pesticides are unique among the chemicals we release into the environment; they have inherent toxicity because they are designed to kill living organisms: insects, plants, and fungi that are considered “pests.” Because they are toxic by design, many pesticides pose health risks to people, risks that have been acknowledged by independent research scientists and physicians across the world.

The majority of the U.S. population has detectable…

No sector of the travel industry has more of an economic and behavioral impact than the hotel business. Even the smallest changes in purchasing behavior can actually affect the planet in huge ways.

To demonstrate the effectiveness of a responsible hotel’s buying power, one particularly enterprising UK service provider has come up with a novel solution: a virtual online “green hotel”.

Since its inception ten years ago, Best Western’s Beacon Purchasing has become the UK’s largest purchasing consortium for the independent hospitality sector. The group is home to about 2000 members, ranging from hotels and guest houses to restaurants, camping grounds to visitor attractions.

The company has worked to provide members with easy access to supplies and services, offering everything from central billing to paperless invoicing to its latest on-line purchasing system, Beacon Online.

Now, the group is setting its sights on the “green” travel market.

Remember, the Super bowl Green Audi commercial?  A week ago, I asked if this commercial upset you, made you laugh, or just chucked it up to another consumption based keeping up with the Jones type commercial.  (If you want to see the video, see here.)

I decided to put a poll on the side bar of my website to see if I could elicit more responds.  Only 11 of you responded.  Well, 10 of you. I was the one who voted that environmentalists are nuts to see if anyone would join me.  Not even the spammers joined in.

The final tally?

9 thought it was hilarious.  See greenies have a great sense of humor.

1 said that environmentalists are nut.  That was me trying to stir up trouble.

1 said consumption offends them.  Alright!  Way to go speak your mind, solo voter.

Zero voted that they did not have an opinion.  Kind of figured that would be the case.  Everyone has an opinion.

So, last chance.  What did you really think.  Don’t hold back. Bring it on.

What part of the video…
