EnvironmentSong of the Day: "Anthrax", by Gang of FourSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Thu, 10/01/2009 - 09:27.
An anthem for Real NEO today, from the day - vintage Gang of Four performing Anthrax in 1980 - my first year in college - one of the great bands and songs of then and all time. I think the love many of us may feel for this corrosive, punk town is like a case of Anthrax, and that's something I don't want to catch. Read the lyrics below from our context in NEO... concluding "I don't think we're saying there's anything wrong with love, we just don't think that what goes on between two people should be shrouded with mystery." That's REALNEO! Listen, read, and surprise yourself with great music. Gang of Four: Anthrax

Recommendation To Form North East Ohio Pollution Advisory Council - NEOPACSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Wed, 09/23/2009 - 06:34.
Severe Particulate Matter 2.5 Hourly Reading in Cleveland at 8:00 AM on 09/23/09 - see current here There is clear evidence the leadership of Northeast Ohio has failed to create an environment encouraging world-class monitoring, analysis, research, notification and controls of pollution created in our region of Ohio, and the consequences on residents and society. As a result, the people of this region have suffered significant health consequences, including early death, and impaired learning ability, crippling our schools and workforce, and society and the regional economy have suffered greatly. As much of our pollution is exported beyond our region, our failure to be world-class addressing pollution here causes harm world-wide.

Short-Term Exposure To Fine Particle Air Pollution Can Drive Up High Blood Pressure, Raise Risk Of Heart AttackSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Thu, 09/17/2009 - 02:50.
It recently came to my attention that one of the most serious sources of pollution in Cuyahoga County is literally in my back yard. Less than two kilometers upwind from my home are the coal and natural gas fired external boilers at the power plant shown above, at University Hospitals, operated by Medical Center Company (MCCo), polluting the surrounding neighborhoods since the 1930s.

Houses Beyond 2100???Submitted by Charles Frost on Tue, 09/08/2009 - 18:29.
Beyond the year 2100 our children and our grandchildren will have to learn to adapt to the global warming situation, if they even hope to survive. Numerous Science Fiction stories, novels, novellas, and movies have taken place in the "far-off future" where mankind has made our planet difficult or even unfit for humans to live on the surface of the planet. Most portray life below ground, much as life has been portrayed on the asteroid belt, with a rabbit warren of caves and tunnels, hewn out of the native rock.

Thanks to REALNEO's lmcshane for pointing out one of the most interesting developments in the American "sustainability movement" ever - what appears to be Chicago's real news source, The Chicago Reader, broke the news, September 4, 2009, that "The Green Mayor's Green Policy Maker Leaves for Vancouver". This is the story of former Cleveland and Chicago area sustainability guru Sadhu Johnston, now set to become the deputy city manager of Vancouver.

If nothing else, today proved to me the power of magic realism. Nelson Cintron is a good man, a kind man and a man gifted with the power to transform. He is not a perfect man, but like all of us, when he tries, he can perform magic.
Where are the most charming places to visit in NEO?Submitted by lmcshane on Fri, 09/04/2009 - 13:49.
In an effort to un-depress myself, I am trying to conjure in my mind the most charming places in NEO to go to when you want to watch people and feel hopeful about life. Now, I know I can go to the middle of a forest somewhere and meditate, but I need to hear laughter and watch boats bobbing on the water. Why is it so hard to make it happen here in NEO? Do you have a favorite place to share??? Please post your thoughts here.

Max Eternity - While it's not advisable that we create a clean energy "monoculture", research does show that with a small amount of land mass devoted to harvesting solar energy, all the energy needs of the entire planet can easily be met. Click here to see enlarged chart(s) and to read more.

Verizon Sponsoring Anti-Climate Rally Backed By Coal GiantSubmitted by Eternity on Wed, 09/02/2009 - 21:52.
Max Eternity - It has long been apparent to me that in so many instances one will find the same crowd that endorsed the Bush pResidency, hangs with the same crowd that's against healthcare, is the same crowd that is pro-war, is the same crowd that denies global warming, is the same crowd that watches and believes everything they hear on FOX News.
