This initiates a chain of destruction that can include more logging, mining, slash-and-burn clearing for cattle grazing and conversion for chemical-intensive industrial agriculture. Most of the resultant products are exported to northern industrialized countries.]]> http://susty.com/tropical-deforestation-basics-problem-solution-get-your-fix-environment-eco-friendly-green-design/feed/ 0 Ray Anderson on the business logic of sustainability – TED TALKS (Video) http://susty.com/ray-anderson-on-the-business-logic-of-sustainability-ted-talks-video/ http://susty.com/ray-anderson-on-the-business-logic-of-sustainability-ted-talks-video/#comments Tue, 19 May 2009 01:31:19 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=6532 http://susty.com/ray-anderson-on-the-business-logic-of-sustainability-ted-talks-video/feed/ 0 Found Animals: Rescue Critters for Adoption Live Webcam http://susty.com/found-animals-rescue-critters-for-adoption-live-webcam-video/ http://susty.com/found-animals-rescue-critters-for-adoption-live-webcam-video/#comments Wed, 29 Apr 2009 03:02:31 +0000 by Michele LaTorre, Long Beach, NY USA http://susty.com/?p=6156 http://susty.com/found-animals-rescue-critters-for-adoption-live-webcam-video/feed/ 0 1 Million Dollars, 8 Cities, Thousands of Trees: Root for NYC (or your own city if you must !-) http://susty.com/root-for-nyc-american-express-1-million-dollars-tree-planting/ http://susty.com/root-for-nyc-american-express-1-million-dollars-tree-planting/#comments Fri, 17 Oct 2008 18:48:47 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=2609 urban forest. Act quickly, though, as you have only 15 days left. Eight cities across the U.S. (listed below) are competing for the largest share of a 1 million-dollar tree-planting grant from American Express. The city with the greatest number of American Express Card transactions will get the most green. Susty is not suggesting to purchase things you don't need nor junk that will shortly wind up landfilled. However, if you happen to find yourself shopping for some necessary merch, look for the ROOT FOR NYC (or ROOT FOR YOUR OWN CITY *eyeroll* whatever) tree icon displayed at participating businesses until October 31, 2008, then pay with any American Express Card. Can you guess which city is in the lead right now?]]> http://susty.com/root-for-nyc-american-express-1-million-dollars-tree-planting/feed/ 0 Cardboard Empire State Building: Flat Pack NYC via Ikea, Brooklyn http://susty.com/eco-cardboard-empire-state-building-flat-pack-nyc-ikea-brooklyn-photo-gallery/ http://susty.com/eco-cardboard-empire-state-building-flat-pack-nyc-ikea-brooklyn-photo-gallery/#comments Sat, 20 Sep 2008 23:31:01 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=5421 opening of Ikea's Red Hook store ushering in Brooklyn's largest waterfront park and shared with you our little photo show of the grounds of said Ikea Red Hook waterfront park. We also noted the eco-ish ad campaign dreamed up by Deutsch (the agency for which I edited my first television commercial back in the day) that deployed iconic New York City structures built from hundreds of IKEA-branded flat-pack boxes.

From the Foreword by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

I hope this book will help awaken people to the importance of this last magnificent stand of the great North American rainforest. If it is destroyed, history will not judge us harshly because few will know the magnificence that has been lost. Those of us who remember will only be able to open this book and say to our children, in Norman Maclean's lament, 'Oh what a wonderful world it was.'
