-- Any Boston rock tribute to a former Sox Pitcher to benefit cancer research gets a thumbs-up from us. [06880]
Boston isn't the best place in the country to celebrate Earth Day, the pedagogical holiday started in 1970 by Senator Gaylord Nelson to teach people about environmental issues. Our own spring holiday involves more redcoats and Red Sox than anything that's green.
Mystic River is more muddy than mystic, receiving a "D" grade from the EPA at the Mystic Watershed Summit. [Somerville News]
Ecomagination ads pepper the broadcast of Meet the Press on Sunday mornings. We though that GE just was pulling the wool over our eyes and pretending to actually undertake environmentally endeavors. With surprise we learn that they're bankrolling a $25,000 grant award to some innovative MIT undergrads. The group of students submitted a proposal to the Ecomagination Challenge to fuel the MIT SafeRide and Tech Shuttles with biodiesel fuel made from the fryers in the dining halls. The competition was set up to increase the environmental sustainability of college campuses (and give PR points to GE) and MIT's group won.
Building #19 has long been one of Bostonist's favorite discount outlets. From weight-loss shakes to OJ Simpson trivia to remote control holsters and more, we have turned to the store for all our discontinued product needs. Though age and reliability is sometimes in questions with goods purchased there, Bostonist has never been as skeptical as we are with the new Charles River bottled water many of the store locations are now stocking. Sure, the Charles is cleaner now than it has been in decades, but given that it's unlikely to reach the EPA's goal of "Swimable by Earth Day 2005," we'd hardly want to down a bottle of the stuff after a run down the Esplanade.
