Shane Fernandez Start reinforcing while they are young Rich. Even at this age they have to be told and learn that they have to share and not always get what they want when they want.
richheap I went to Times Square when I was over in New York a couple of months ago. It was a bit busy for me so I didn't hang around there for long. Are there any other New Yorkers out there opinions about...
richheap Thanks Shane. I'm new to this parenting lark so I like to cut and paste as much of my fatherly advice as possible. My daughter's only one though, so a bit young to understand yet!
richheap Thanks Stotheco. I'm not trying to claim the UK is a great example of 'green' development. My understanding is that Australia is a great exemplar in this area, with the UK and US behind, but good...
Mary Jander Good point about superficial support, Rich. I do think it will take time for managements to put financial effort behind their endorsement of green buildings. As they say, talk is cheap.
Mary Jander Well said, Shane! I do think we as a generation (or two) have failed to impart the importance of community and fellowship to our children. That is a huge drawback and one that could seriously affect...
Mary Jander Good move on the Canadian government's part, Shane. Let's hope this kind of tracking will help to prevent jobs that could be domestic from being farmed out. I'm not saying companies shouldn't outsource....
Mary Jander Two dollars more? That's just the cost of an iced mocha at Tim's or Starbucks... or less than some pay to get money from the local ATM.
Mary Jander Hi, CitySolver. Thanks for your question. "Silos" in reference to information tech is slang for agglomerations of data (databases, repositories, applications etc.) that were created by specific factions...
Shane Fernandez Rich, I understand the points you make and I agree that governments have a role. Also, yes I too empathize with the workers in Bangladesh. But many manufacturing jobs used to be here. I would advocate...
Shane Fernandez Rich, advice I would give my children would be twofold: First, know the difference between right and wrong. Once they know that they should make every effort to do the right thing as opposed to...
Susan Leach Really encouraging video. I loved hearing about these bioswales -- aside from their usefulness, they also provide visual relief from all the concrete and straight lines. But I wondered about Margaret...
stotheco This is definitely good news. Other cities should follow the example that has been set in the UK. It's time to go green and there's no better time to do so than now.
stotheco Thanks for the link, James. Definitely looks like a promising project. I'm all for green and this community looks very good.
stotheco Oh, and I forgot to comment on the new column. It sounds like a great weekly post and I will definitely be looking forward to this. On a side note, I love cats but I doubt they can hold office well....
stotheco Whoa, so that's what things up to? Juice attacks? It sounds amusing at first but you'll see later on that it's clearly not.
richheap Totally agree re: the particular scientific benefits. And aside from the science, this seems to make good business sense. Scientific research organisations have to compete with the private sector...
