Hillary Clinton - Sustainability and the American Dream

Complete video at: http://fora.tv/2009/02/13/Secretary_of_State_Hillary_Clintons_Asia_Society_Address

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton discusses the Obama Administration’s approach to global environmental sustainability, and rejects the notion that environmentally-conscious policies must negatively impact American lifestyles and economic freedom. “Changing to compact fluorescent bulbs is not the kind of sacrifice that is going to undermind the quality of our life,” she jokes.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton delivers her first major foreign policy speech on the eve of her first visit to Asia as a member of the Cabinet.

In her first major foreign policy speech, made on the eve of a four-nation tour of Asia, with visits to Japan, South Korea, Indonesia and China, Secretary Clinton said that the U.S. will resume mid-level military-to-military discussions with China. The talks were suspended by Beijing last year after U.S. arms sales to Taiwan.

“It is in our interest to work harder to build on areas of common concern and shared opportunities,” said Clinton. - Asia Society

Sustainable Living Roadshow

The Sustainable Living Roadshow is a caravan of educators, entertainers and activists coordinating cross country tours that empower communities and individuals to utilize sustainable strategies for a healthier planet. Visiting university campuses and community events across the United States, the tour encompasses a fleet of non-petroleum based renewable fuel vehicles. At each stop, the caravan sets up experiential learning-village’s, featuring workshops, speakers, and entertainment.

The Sustainable Living Roadshow is a new paradigm in entertainment, education and business. It is designed to celebrate practical solutions to global and environmental issues created by our modern energy and food systems. The intention of the tour is to introduce communities to sustainable living strategies, as well as validate and promote existing efforts. Through pre-coordination, the tour orchestrates opportunities that infuse these local ventures with new information and increased awareness at the surrounding campuses and communities. Supporting the ideal of bioregionalism, sustainable measures such as renewable energy, sustainable food systems, and community development are integrated at the local level. Collectively, workshops, entertainment and service projects empower youth and community members toward meaningful participation. The events also feature evening celebrations to broaden reach, share messages and encourage participation from a diverse array of audiences.

Green: Real Life Captain Picard controls 1st ever ‘green-means-business’ Aviation Hangar

(shangri-la construction)
Not Area 51 but Hangar 25. This is quite possibly the coolest aviation hangar on the planet. What this hangar accomplishes is really amazing. Shangri-La Construction developed the first eco-conscious and sustainable building for aviation. The aviation industry can certainly use cleaning up. Jet fuel emissions, fossil fuel consumption, and consumer waste are all big contributors to the carbon footprint of the industry. Hangar 25 is an example of how the industry can be cleaned up through better construction.

Hangar 25’s key sustainable design features includes a solar array that produces 110% of the building’s operational electricity needs!!!
