A recent article: "Sustainable Hand Drying and Life-Cycle Assessment" did a unique LCA - they compared paper towel drying to blow-drying your hands.

By Popular Request – An Alpha Poem

Submitted by gssadmin
on Tue, 06/22/2010 - 00:00

Here’s the result of an exercise that I participated in a few days ago, during a Mastermind session that I take part in weekly. If you want to know what a Mastermind group is, check out Napoleon Hill’s classic book, Think and Grow Rich. Check out mine at http://MastermindMindset.com

The question we were given was to create an alpha poem in 10 minutes. An Alpha poem uses all the letters of the alphabet, with at least one letter per word (or per phrase). Start by writing the letters of the alphabet down the side of your page, and then fill in the words.

The question that we were asked to answer

Enjoy… You are Brilliant, and the Earth is Hiring

The Unforgettable Commencement Address to the Class of 2009, University of Portland, by Paul Hawken

When I was invited to give this speech, I was asked if I could give a simple short talk that was “direct, naked, taut, honest, passionate, lean, shivering, startling, and graceful.” No pressure there.

Let’s begin with the startling part. Class of 2009: you are going to have to figure out what it means to

Life Cycle Assessment 101: Why Does it Matter?

Submitted by gssadmin
on Thu, 10/08/2009 - 03:51

October 8th, 2009

LCA IX is the annual meeting and conference of the American Center for Life Cycle Assessment (ACLCA). It brings together hundreds of academics and professionals in environmental life cycle, as well as industry, government, and NGOs. I was there this past week in Boston because I focus on sustainable engineering and design. One aspect of that is developing techniques to integrate Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) into the product development process.
