When trying to create the greenest project possible, even the smallest factors count. That's why WoodWorks, a cooperative venture of several North American wood associations, have come up with an online calculator able to estimate the carbon benefits of wood buildings.
The carbon calculator estimates the amount of carbon stored in the wood of a building using data related to the amount of carbon stored in trees while they're growing. The calculator also takes into account the amount of greenhouse gas emissions avoided by eliminating the use of materials such as steel and concrete. The tool works with or without information about the specific wood type or wood product type being used.

An iPod Shuffle. A digital camcorder. A $100 American Express gift card. No, it's not a Christmas wish list. It's loot students can get for selling magazines for a middle-school fundraiser. The more they shuffle, the better the bounty. Schools use fundraisers to pay for everything from books to teeter-totters.
It supplements what the school has money to buy," said Chipeta Elementary School PTA President Stacy Papenfuss. Her school group's recent coupon-book fundraiser made $10 for each $25 Entertainment Book sold and $2 per $10 Gold C Book. Last year, the Colorado Springs District 11 school netted $10,846 from the coupon books, and an additional $7,000 from a bingo, carnival and art sale. Out of that, the kids got a $5,500 playground makeover, teachers got $100 vouchers to spend on cla...

We expect the market for aggressive solvent printers to slow in the future due to the continued advancement of eco-solvent inks and other alternative inks," says Scrimger.
