  Protect the community, bosque and environment - No Walmart on our Bosque

  As an teacher of environmental education I find the corner of Montano and Coors (which is next to the Rio Grande) in Albuquerque the most unsuitable place for the extra lights, traffic, noise that would come with a business as big as Walmart. The area only a stones throw away is home to Muskrat, Raccoon, Coyote, Porcupine, Kangaroo Rat, Skunk, and many more. I have seen the sign of all of these animals in the summer of 2011 while undergoing a track monitor training. Hundreds of Albuquerque school children use the are for place-based learning, it is that kind of a special place. There are two other Walmarts closeby - both within a 5 minute drive in either direction. The road that crosses the river was built small on purpose because of the fragility of the ecosystem here. Semi trucks would only have a narrow road to access the store, the road is main access for a school and a neighborhood. Does the school want it? Does the neighborhood want it? If your neighbors don't want it, then WHY PERSIST?

  Top Trends 2009 #2: Green Innovation

  Hello,
  
  I wonder if any of you have heard about entrepreneurs who are looking into producing items from recycled resources in the U. S., or anywhere else.
  
  I just heard yesterday that the market/use for recycled cardboard is way down - causing huge pile ups of cardboard. My source said that the main user of recycled cardboard has been China and that they are not accepting what they used to because of a decline in U.S. imports (they use U.S. cardboard to make their shipping boxes).
  
  Many times I wonder why no one is creating factories to use our recycled resources. In the Mountain SouthWest where I live, we used to truck recycled glass to Denver glass plant. I have heard it is not in existence anymore. Albuquerque now crushes all its recycled glass for landscaping material. And now the whole cardboard issue. I know the reason might be it isn't profitable. But these are resources that are otherwise going to landfills.
  
  I know that the bottle bill in our state legislature continues to be presented and continues to be thrown down. National leadership could help this attitude.
  
  I am curious if anyone is thinking along these lines and would very much appreciate any info.
