Sustainable Pittsburgh and the Local Government Academy
are hosting this lunchtime program to focus on multi-municipal comprehensive
planning.
Amendments to the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code (MPC) provide
incentives to municipalities engaging in multi-municipal planning. Developing
a multi-municipal plan offers a method for municipal leaders to enhance their
community’s future quality of life and provides a tool for effective land use
management in the community.
Speakers at various stages of the process will share their experience with
multi-municipal planning – getting started, benefits, what's working, and
lessons learned. General information on multi-municipal planning and the
Local Government Academy Grant Program will also be provided. Speakers
include Cindy Davis, Butler
Township; Chris Rearick, Consultant; Ray Reaves, Consultant; and Joy
Wilhelm, Mackin Engineering.

Philadelphia's
new Zoning Code Commission is hard at work on an overhaul of the city's 1962 zoning
code. As a political spectacle, it rivals the excitement of C-Span on a
Sunday. But make no mistake: While most Philadelphians will never read the
new code, they will feel its impact for generations. Despite its alphabet
soup of terms such as C5 and R9A, zoning reform will reach into every part of
the city, shifting development dollars and the political landscape...A modern
zoning code can reward developers who build with energy-saving technology. In
Arlington, Va., a developer meeting the national LEED
standards of green design can win a zoning bonus of three additional floors.
That allows the cost of green design to be offset by income from the extra
space. Arlington
and its air quality come out on top. Similar incentives can prod developers
to provide affordable housing, build public parks, protect historic
structures, or use finer building materials.

More than 30 years after Michigan
first allowed state and local governments to sharply cut property taxes for
manufacturing companies that promise to retain or add local jobs, a new study
by state university researchers has found that the strategy is usually
ineffective. Instead of aiding economic growth, the study found, the cuts
often harm the communities that grant them...[the study also] found that
Michigan’s local governments give up about $1 billion in tax revenue annually
to encourage job growth but usually receive little in return. The job growth
and diversification that the tax breaks were supposed to trigger were
minimal, and the cuts often subsidized sprawling development.

Global warming and the spread of nuclear weapons are the two great moral
and technological challenges of our times. Both are caused by machines made by
humans. Both could destroy life on the planet. Both can be prevented. But in
our zeal to find a solution to one, we must not make the other threat worse.

In April 2007, a group of 14 Japanese organizations involved in
environmental and energy issues sent an open letter to Professor James
Lovelock, a British scientist, regarding the relevance of nuclear power as a
means to curb global warming...In his book "The Revenge of Gaia" and contributions to newspapers, Professor
Lovelock argues that we should make the maximum use of nuclear power to
survive climate change… In the open letter, the group asked Professor
Lovelock nine questions, including "Do you believe that accidents like
the Chernobyl Accident (1986) and the Tokai Criticality Accident (1999) will
never happen again?" The group also expressed their own view for each
question, concluding that nuclear power is not an appropriate way to address
global warming.

Checks on Md. sprawl go awry
It's nearly impossible to tell how effective Maryland's 10-year-old Smart
Growth law has been at curbing sprawl because state agencies haven't kept
track of where their spending goes, as the law requires, a new study
finds….officials through two administrations did a poor job of monitoring
whether state funds for building roads, sewers and other public improvements
were spent in designated growth areas, as the law intended...The law aims to
use state funding to encourage development in and around existing
communities. It required local governments to designate areas already served
by public water and sewer as growth zones, and said state spending would be
focused in these "priority funding areas."

Designers and builders expend significant effort to ensure that buildings
use as little energy as possible. This is a good thing—and very obvious to
anyone who has been involved with green building for any length of time. What
is not so obvious is that many buildings are responsible for much more energy
use getting people to and from those buildings. That’s right—for an average
office building in the United
States, calculations done by Environmental
Building News (EBN) show that commuting by office workers accounts for 30%
more energy than the building itself uses.

The telecommunications industry knows this thanks to its own six-year, wireless
technology research (WTR) study program mandated by Congress and completed in
1999. Gathering a team of over 200 doctors, scientists and experts in the
field, WTR research showed that human blood exposed to cell phone radiation
had a 300-percent increase in genetic damage in the form of micronuclei.3 Dr.
George Carlo, a public health expert who coordinated the WTR studies,
confirms that exposure to communications radiation from wireless technology
is "potentially the biggest health insult" this nation has ever
seen. Dr. Carlo believes RF/microwave radiation is a greater threat than
cigarette smoking and asbestos.

Wal-Mart will start with a pilot group of about 30 companies in seven
product categories, with a view to rolling out the measurement and reporting
to its 68,000 suppliers, which would be the biggest group of companies yet to
disclose their emissions. The product categories are DVDs,
toothpaste, soap, milk, beer, vacuum cleaners and soft drinks. Jim Stanway, head of Wal-Mart’s global supply chain
initiatives, said: "Our objective is to find efficiencies in the supply
chain. If we remove carbon, which equates to energy which equates to cost, we
fulfil our objective of getting low prices to the
customer and having a positive environmental impact."...This year,
UK-based supermarket chain Tesco pledged to put
"carbon labels" on its 80,000 product lines which would show
consumers how much greenhouse gas went into their production. Coca-Cola is
measuring the "carbon footprint" of two of its beverages in the UK,
as is Cadbury Schweppes with one of its chocolate bars, and Kimberly-Clark is
measuring the footprint of a nappy and a toilet roll brand in the UK.

Mahatma Gandhi once said that if China

were to aspire to a western-style consumer culture, their citizens would
quickly strip the earth bare like locusts. Today, China’s
state-owned energy and mining giants scour the world for the raw materials
needed to power the workshop of the world and feed the growing appetite of
its aspiring masses. As well as being the world’s biggest producer of
everything from microwave ovens to jelly beans, the country has just
overtaken the US
as the largest producer of greenhouse gases. While millions of its citizens
have been lifted out of poverty, its dirty and wasteful growth model has left
large swathes of the country devastated and unable to support even basic
