Wouldn’t it be great if your teenager could graduate from High School and be able to earn $18-$20 an hour immediately? Thanks to Anne Younglove and her colleagues, they can. Anne championed the idea of turning a typical business training program for solar panel installation into curriculum for high school students — the kids not only graduate from high school, but they have a job waiting, if they want it. Is it working? So far Back Bay High has an outstanding 97% attendance rate of which 99% of the students graduate and was named a model school for the state…

Beth at Fake Plastic Fish asked us to capture a typical day and how we face our green challenges. It was a more difficult assignment than I thought and showed the power of being mindful of what’s in me, on me or around me… . 5:45 / no need for an alarm clock, the sparrows outside of my window wake me up. . 6:00 hit the shower (with low-water shower), tried out the Green Natura soap we from the Sustainable Brands conference last week.

Next stop Fullerton, watch your step… Diane asked us to write on transportation for this month’s Green Mom Carnival. Perfect timing, this morning, I’m riding the train into LA and that gives me an hour of productive computer time in and out. After the initial craziness of figuring out schedules and drop off points, it’s become a mindless exercise. Buena Park, please use handrails when walking about… I’ve been in LA for seven years and until six months ago I never knew that the Metrolink to downtown existed just a mile from my home. I heard the whistle in the…

Lynn Tilton puts her money where her mouth is – LOTS of money – about $7 billion give or take a million. I never heard of her until last week, and this week I can’t get her words or her mission out of my mind. Here she is on EconoWatch in 2008 at $5 billion and 30 companies, today she has 70 billion invested in her Patriarch Partners group in companies from helicopters to Spiegel Catalog.

Women bloggers such as Yvonne DiVita would be all over it and the company would have to overcome years, maybe decades of the moment’s bad judgment….

It’s a hotter topic for Green Bloggers – are they enabling the problem of over-consumption or helping the market move to a higher, greener economy? Are they giving their "trusted opinion" away, or are they being paid to endorse a product? As a reader, how will you know you’re getting the straight scoop? . The holy grail of modern consumer marketing is when a company can get a blogger with a large…
