Perhaps I have crossed over to curmudgeon land, but I am finding the responses that I have received both on-list and off list absolutely hilarious. Editing and removing names to protect the guilty: 1. "It means not letting science interfere with the environmental dogma" 2. "You're starting to sound like Jay Young." (I'm not sure if that is compliment or not) 3. "We spend more to produce less and are happy about it." 4. At least three "For us it means..." (Elston interpretation: That means it's opinion rather than an accepted definition) and the winner thus far has been folks pointing me to: 5. "The ACS policy statement is..." (...a 3-page PDF that is neither precise in its language nor concisely written as a good "mission statement" might be.) I have passed this on to my youngest homeschooled daughter as an exercise in critical thinking. Can the concept be distilled to 2 sentences maximum? Have a great weekend!

I am helping to organize two conference presentations on sustainability in laboratories, a local one at UVM in October, the other at the ACS national meeting next spring. I have some ideas about what to include in the discussion, but would appreciate any ideas, or even better, web links to specific lab sustainability programs and projects that you're aware of. I was able to attend the Labs-21 conference last September, so I'm familiar with that resource, but I'm sure there are others out there that will be of interest. Thanks for any help with this. - Ralph Ralph Stuart, CIH Environmental Safety Manager University of Vermont Environmental Safety Facility 667 Spear St. Burlington, VT 05405 rstuart**At_Symbol_Here**uvm.edu
