Hey
The term LOHAS is starting to gain more traction within the eco world. It means Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability. You can read the following article thanks to Green Exchange for this wonderful information!
- Coke has announced that they are going to start using hybrid vehicles for delivery of their products. Does this mean the Coke side of life is starting to go green to avoid going in the red due to fuel costs?

NEIU,Greenmaker Supply, and more
- Northeastern Illinois University has used some of its "green fee" on purchasing a battery powered vehicle for its Facility Maintenance Department. It also has increased its orders for more covered bicycle racks around the university. More to come on this great acheivement!
- Greenmaker Supply has a sale going on. This is a great place to shop. They have a lot of eco friendly housing items that if used can improve sustainability.
- The Peggy Notebaert Museum will be hosting a wonderful picnic night on August 7th.
- Recently, the city of Los Angeles has ordered a ban on plastic bags as of 2010. If you are looking to be part of this effort, you can go to Green Kits and order cloth bags. I have been using these bags for over a year now and have estimated a savings of over 150 plastic bags. That is just in one year. You can also go the Lincoln Square Chamber of Commerce website and check out vendors in the neighborhood who are giving discounts to patrons that use cloth bags. Congrats to them.
- Evanston's Markets have been featured in A Fresh Squeeze. Buying local not only saves CO2 emissions, but keeps $$$$ in the local community. Who doesn't need that in these trying times?
- Wikipower is in a partnership with The Peggy Notebaert Museum and A Fresh Squeeze. The partnership exists to provide funding for the museum's educational programs. For every person that signs up to A Fresh Squeeze's email update list, the blog will donate $0.25 to The Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum! You will receive up to date information on environmental issues in the Chicago area and be helping one of Chicago's top environmental resources. So please take a moment to go to my donation page and sign up. The list of donors is growing and money has already been sent to the museum.
