EPA denies petition on 2,4-D pesticide
Environmental Protection Agency Share    
In a petition filed on Nov. 6, 2008, the Natural Resources Defense Council requested that EPA cancel all product registrations and revoke all tolerances (legal residue limits in food) for the pesticide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid or 2,4-D. After considering public comment received on the petition and all available studies, EPA is denying the request to revoke all tolerances and the request to cancel all registrations. By way of background, in 2005, as part of the regulatory process to ensure pesticides meet current regulatory standards, EPA completed a review on the registration and on the safety of the tolerances for 2,4-D. EPA determined that all products containing 2,4-D are eligible for reregistration provided certain changes were incorporated into the labels and additional data were generated and submitted to the EPA for review.

One reason is the Golf Nebraska campaign that launched last year by the Nebraska Department of Economic Development's Travel and Tourism Division. Gov. Dave Heineman shared information about the impact of the campaign at the Nebraska Golf Day event at Wilderness Ridge Golf Course in Lincoln.

School program uses golf to teach students about science
KOMO-TV News
Share
 Not many school field trips include a round of golf, but a unique teaching program is doing just that by taking students out of the classroom and onto the greens.
For a group of Bellevue, Wash., seventh-graders, a round of miniature golf is not so subtly disguised as science.
"I learned about the soil at the golf course, the salmon, and kind of how to putt a little better," said student Markus Schiffer.

Why business must shift from resource managers to resource leaders
GreenBiz
Share
Around the world, natural resources companies — producers of agricultural staples, oil and gas, lumber and wood products, basic chemicals and many minerals — are facing unprecedented volatility in supply and demand. The global population is poised to reach 9 billion by 2050, and much of the growth will be in emerging markets. These challenges suggest that we need a new way to think about natural resources — a shift in mindset from simply managing resources to practicing resource leadership.

Why valuing your workers as assets makes financial sense
GreenBiz
Share
You've heard your CEO say, "Our employees are our greatest asset."
But if you've reviewed company financial statements recently, employees are not technically classified as assets — or valued that way either. In official accounting terms, people are regarded as expenses on the income statement and appear as liabilities on the balance sheet.
R. Paul Herman, CEO of HIP Investor, which manages money for investors seeking sustainable portfolios, disagrees with this assessment of a company's employees.
