I found an interesting website today: the World Business Council for Sustainable Development
http://www.wbcsd.org/
and I am reviewing this article -
http://www.wbcsd.org/plugins/DocSearch/details.asp?type=DocDet&ObjectId=MjU2MTY - from July 29, 2007
This article documents how one business in Honduras which raises and fillets fish for sale uses its own fish waste (head, scales, guts) to make biofuel which runs the whole factory as well as the buses that bring workers in each day.
I had heard about the problems with biofuel - especially that made from corn, which may be renewable but is not really sustainable. However, using fish waste that would normally simply be garbage for fuel is really a sustainable thing.
This whole website is full of "success" stories about sustainability, which is a very different kind of news source than the others I have been looking at so far (CNN, BBC, etc.). I had been looking for the more "personal" stories all this time, but most of the big news corporations are about political figures, conflicts, and the like.
