- [University of Minnesota researchers develop environmentally friendly plastics](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/05/renewable-environmental-plastics-from-university-research/): MINNEAPOLIS / ST. PAUL (5/26/2011) — University of Minnesota researchers have developed a portfolio of degradable plastics derived from renewable resources that could serve as a viable alternative to plastics made from petroleum and natural gas. These materials have the potential to be safer, more sustainable alternatives to plastics currently on the market. “Nearly all synthetic chemicals and materials are derived from fossil fuels,” said Marc Hillmyer, Distinguished McKnight University Professor of chemistry and director of theCenter for Sustainable Polymers. “To wean ourselves from such products, we must develop alternatives based on renewable resources as a means toward a sustainable polymer industry.” Polylactides (PLA) are degradable polymers that can be used in a variety of products, from medical devices and sutures to food packaging and diapers. These polymers could reduce the country’s reliance on materials derived from crude oil. However, PLA has a few property deficiencies in comparison to other polymers, such as its tendency to soften at higher temperatures, a feature that limits utility in food and beverage packaging applications. Hillmyer and his colleagues have developed new types of polyactide-based materials that have potential to solve these problems.

- [Are Consumers Getting Smarter About Hybrid Cars?](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/08/consumers-getting-smarter-with-fuel-efficiency/): Last week President Obama announced that American automobiles must meet a fuel-efficiency standard of 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025. Obama called the shift “the single most important step we’ve ever taken as a nation to reduce our dependence on foreign oil,” and Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood blogged that it would save the country about $1.7 trillion in fuel costs. In the past the automakers have challenged attempts to raise the fuel economy standard, but representatives from a dozen car companies joined Obama for his announcement. That’s an unprecedented level of industry support, and a somewhat startling one considering that just weeks ago, when the administration made its m.p.g. ambitions known, auto leaders seemed less than thrilled. The New York Times attributes this “extraordinary shift” to the growing popularity of fuel-efficient cars: Six of the 10 best-selling vehicles in America are small or midsize cars, and one of the most popular pickup models on the market is a Ford F-Series with a high-mileage, six-cylinder engine.

Since I have known Mark Seiden, he has always asked me about what are they best ways to go green. About two years ago, in front of his office in Briarcliff Manor on Pleasantville Road, we talked about going green. We agreed that the first step to prove to him that going green meant saving green (cash) too was to swap out all of the incandescent lights in his home and office to compact flourescant.

- [UC Energy Efficiency Programs for Sustainable Campuses](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/08/uc-energy-efficiency-programs-for-sustainable-campuses/): UC has won national praise for its 50 LEED-certified facilities, the most of any U.S. university. Many are considered shining examples of the latest in energy-efficient technology. But most UC campus buildings were constructed long before LEED green standards and conservation took hold. Making those more efficient entails doing much more low-profile things — like fixing leaky steam pipes, making sure air conditioning doesn’t run in the winter and swapping incandescent bulbs for the latest in lighting technology. Since January 2009, the 10 UC campuses have initiated some 400 projects to improve the efficiency of buildings, in some cases using technology developed by UC researchers. Their goal: Cut energy use, costs and emissions to year 2000 levels by 2014. Lighting controls are part of the green lighting equation. The results so far have saved campuses more than $21 million annually compared to what they otherwise would have paid for energy. For a system that uses about 250 megawatts of power a year, about the same as a medium size city, the impact of all the discrete fixes adds up. “We were doing energy efficiency over years and have never stopped doing it,” said John Dilliott, campus energy manager at UC San Diego. “The huge effort to do it at all campuses, all at once, has made it a big push, as well to get everything done in next few years (to meet greenhouse gas emission goals).” Spurring this collective drive is the UC system’s Strategic Energy Plan, implemented in 2008, which identified 2,700 potential projects, of which 900 were found most viable financially. The cost of these projects was estimated at $250 million, yielding an expected $40 million annually in avoided energy costs when they are completed.

In past newsletters we have discussed ways to make your home do the work of saving energy by improving its tightness and adding insulation to the building envelope. This is the all important first layer of the energy pyramid and results in the greatest savings for dollars expended. Next you should maximize efficiency in the mechanical systems such as hot water heating and heating and air conditioning since these are the greatest uses of energy in your home. But once those pyramid levels are optimized, what about addressing long term electrical needs? Even with more efficient light bulbs and Energy Star appliances, our demand for electricity is growing exponentially with technological advances and even electric cars. Plus, geothermal and other heat pump systems run on highly efficient electric pumps and thus are a perfect pairing with solar PV.

An estimated 54,600 gallons of oil have leaked into the water, according to Thomson Reuters wire service. The spill, announced by the company on Friday, is in the central North Sea, about 112 miles east of Aberdeen, Scotland. This spill occurred just days after the United States’ Department of the Interior tentatively approved Shell’s request to drill four experimental wells in the U.S. Arctic’s Beaufort Sea in 2012. Oceana is appalled and concerned that this event in the North Sea is a foreshadowing of things to come in the U.S. Arctic. “The oil gushing in the North Sea is an urgent reminder why DOI needs to carefully examine Shell’s lack of ability to contain and clean up oil spills, said Susan Murray, Oceana Pacific Senior Director.

But several factors, including differences in wind speed and direction, can break up hurricanes. Many future projections show a decrease in the frequency of all hurricanes globally, but a higher chance of intense hurricanes forming when they do occur. The changing nature of hurricanes in a warmer world remains an active area of research.

This practice can reduce home energy use by 15-20 percent compared to typical HVAC installations. The studies are designed to inform designers, architects, builders and subcontractors about the benefits and challenges of best practices for building with ducts inside. The case studies were selected to represent diversity in the residential marketplace, including urban infill, suburban, one-story, two-story, custom, speculative, and production-built homes. These Northwest builders, located in either marine or cold climates, are certifying their homes to one or more green certification standards: ENERGY STAR®, Earth Advantage®, LEED® for Homes, BuiltGreen®, or NAHBGreen®.
- [Switch Lighting LED Green Bulb Technology Revealed](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/09/switch-lighting-led-green-bulb-technology-revealed/): Switch is designing their LED bulbs to meet Cradle to Cradle® principles—continuously and cost-effectively recovering all materials from the used light bulbs and safely biodegrading or recycling them. “Components won’t necessarily be repurposed into another light bulb, but could be siphoned into the broader industrial cycle,” says William McDonough, who developed the Cradle to Cradle protocol with German chemist Michael Braungart. “The unique design of Switch bulbs signals the company’s intention to offer brilliant lighting as a service for humanity,” added McDonough. Because of the unique cooling system, Switch light bulbs can be used in any orientation with no compromise to their 20,000 hour life (10-15 years). Based on a 75 watt-equivalent bulb used in a home for 5 hours a day, Switch has calculated energy savings of up to $140.00 per bulb over its lifetime. The Switch LED bulbs use 85% less energy than incandescent bulbs and unlike compact fluorescents, they do not contain mercury. The purchase price payback in energy cost savings is realized in about one year.
