My internship is kicking my butt. I'm so busy creating a green company, I haven't had time to go green myself. Which is actually the crux of the dilemma here, really. We're so busy hustling to get by, we don't have time to plant organic gardens. And we all have two jobs, so an hour long ride on public transit isn't very attractive when you work ten miles away.

So, until I'm back with witty insight, read this article. Georgia's going to have one less coal-fired power plant.

This stood out especially:
The decision by state Judge Thelma Wyatt Cummings Moore marks the first time a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision connected carbon dioxide to an air pollution permit.

Also, I attended "Everybody Eats," a Local Food Event at Charis Books & More last night. This is the first in their monthly Urban Sustainability series, and it was informative. I'll share some of that good info here at a later date but, but here's a sneak peek: Local Food here in Atlanta needs more centralized organization. They've started that, with the Atlanta Local Food Initiative (ALFI), but they need a network along the lines of the Clean Air Campaign's rideshare website and database. It's worth looking into. Let's talk about it when I'm not in internship la la land.
