]]> Comment on Beef With ‘Green Consumerism’ by spaldingmichael http://greenyournetwork.wordpress.com/2007/07/05/beef-with-%e2%80%98green-consumerism%e2%80%99/#comment-8 spaldingmichael Fri, 06 Jul 2007 16:55:45 +0000 http://greenyournetwork.wordpress.com/2007/07/05/beef-with-%e2%80%98green-consumerism%e2%80%99/#comment-8 I think anyone that has been concerned with the limits of natural resources for a long time, recognize green consumerism as a false prophet. At best it is a slight improvement on more of the same and at worse it represents a shadow movement that threatens to hijack our language and ideas to insulate itself from criticism. One resource citizens can rely on for honest and accurate information about how to lower their footprint is civil society - the millions of organizations that spend day after day working to address environmental degradation and social injustice around the world. Without any direct or tangible benefits to themselves, these groups are discovering solutions and sharing them with the world. As a result of Paul's research, his staff at NCI created <a href="www.wiserearth.org" rel="nofollow"> WiserEarth</a>, an online tool to allow more discovery and sharing by anyone concerned with social and environmental justice. If this part of civil society is analogous to the immune system, as Paul suggests, then its success depends on the quality of its connections. WiserEarth is a platform to improve the quality of connections geographically and topically. The knowledge contained within the growing community at WiserEarth will set the standard for which future market forces will respond. All citizens need to recognize the role the government has to play: there is no such thing as a "free" market and the massive amount of hidden subsidies in the market today, make it next to impossible for truly sustainable market solutions to emerge. Our role at the voting booth will always be more important than our role at the cash register.

The objective of the study is to give a thorough evaluation of the operation of the Directive's provisions relating to producer responsibility obligations of WEEE and consider options to improve the operation of those obligations in the EU. The study will give a full picture on how Members states have transposed and implemented the producer responsibility obligations and the producer definition of the Directive. It will examine the interaction between the systems set up by Member States and the impact on achievement of the Directive's objectives and on business. It will provide a thorough evaluation of the functioning of the register of producers that Member states shall draw up and options for its further improvement, development and simplification. It will assess options to improve the achievement of the objectives of the Community environmental policy (in particular the Directive itself) on WEEE, particularly the development and simplification of the Directive in line with the Communication on better regulation. The technical specifications for the study can be found here. -<a href="http://bakerroofing.com/" rel="nofollow"> Commercial Roofing | Residential Roofing </a> “The producer responsibility principle of Directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)”: under a restricted call for tender, a contract was concluded with ÖKOPOL – Institut für Ökologie und Politik GmbH – on December 19, 2006.
