Close, but No Cigar. Just Plastic Bottles…
February 12, 2012 UPDATE: Grand Canyon successfully bans bottled water effective March 2012. Yay!
Grand Canyon National Park officials came oh so close to banning on the sale of disposable water bottles, the biggest culprit when it comes to trash in the park. However, after some conversations with Coca-Cola, the plans to implement the ban fell flat. It just so happens that Coca-Cola has donated more than $13 million to the National Park Foundation.
Curious to read more about this story? Both the New York Times and Los Angeles Times have great pieces on it. Check ‘em out.

Green for All, in partnership with Economic Policy Institute, American Rivers, and Pacific Institute, recently released a new report: “Water Works: Rebuilding Infrastructure, Creating Jobs, Greening the Environment.” The report looks at what would happen if we invested in America’s water infrastructure – and finds that an investment of $188.4 billion spread equally over the next five years would generate $265.6 billion in economic activity and create close to 1.9 million jobs.
With the side benefit of keeping sewage out of our streams….

LA TIMES: "It’s a cartoon, but she’s serious"
By Margot Roosevelt:
“Annie Leonard used to spout jargon. She reveled in the sort of geek-speak that glazes your eyeballs.
Externalized costs, paradigm shifts, the precautionary principle, extended producer responsibility.
That was before she discovered cartoons.
Today the 45-year-old Berkeley activist is America’s pitchperson for a new style of environmental message. Out with boring PowerPoints and turgid reports; in with witty videos that explain complex issues in digestible terms…”
