<\/p>\n
It’s almost the weekend, and here at sustainablog, that means giving some love to the weekly host of the Green Business Blog Carnival<\/strong><\/a>! This week was the biggest yet, and Calfinder blogger extraordinaire Taylen Peterson clearly had a lot of fun putting this week’s edition<\/a> together at their Residential Solar Power Blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n So what’s on tap this week? Well, China’s moving to the head of the pack on developing affordable solar technology<\/a>. There’s a water car<\/a> out there, and its name is Frankie. And a fashion entrepreneur thinks he might be able to leverage his new brand to clean up beaches and oceans<\/a> (and, yes, that’s my post from SUNfiltered).<\/p>\n My favorite of the week, though… The Inspired Economist’s look at how hospitals are realizing they can flex their purchasing power muscle to increase demand for antibiotic-free meat<\/a>. Won’t that raise costs for food? Yes… but one hospital figured out that the cost increase corresponded pretty closely to the price tag for treating one<\/strong> staph infection (and those may be on the increase because of\u00a0antibiotic-resistant strains). Sounds like money well-invested! Institutional spending can be a tremendous force for change…<\/p>\n Next week, the Carnival stops at Eco-Libris’ blog<\/a>… make sure to come by. If you’d like for Raz and crew to consider a post, send it in through the submission form at Triplepundit<\/a>. And if you’d like to host the Carnival, check the schedule<\/a>, and claim an open date…<\/p>\n Do your weekends up in green style… whether it’s <\/em>recycled patio furniture<\/em><\/a> for backyard fun, <\/em>tents<\/em><\/a> and <\/em>sleeping bags<\/em><\/a> for a camping trip, or <\/em>eco fashion<\/em><\/a> for a night out on the town.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s almost the weekend, and here at sustainablog, that means giving some love to the weekly host of the Green Business Blog Carnival!
