Greenworks

By

As documentarian for the green industrial renaissance taking hold in Central Massachusetts, Interlock Media has spawned a new nonprofit, Greenworks of North Quabbin Inc.

In line with Interlock's mission to promote environmentally sustainable practices and social justice, Greenworks Inc. has been established to facilitate the creation of environmentally friendly jobs and economic growth in Central Massachusetts.


With its woodlands, farms and inventor/machinists, the area has natural potential to host a thriving green economy and lead entrepreneurs in the region in environmental preservation. Publicizing green tourism attractions, Greenworks of North Quabbin will build alliances between stakeholders to create and reinforce green development.


The group aims to make the Orange Innovation Center a home for green businesses and environmentally-focused community groups and social programs, in a manner consistent with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building standards.

Study Affirms Correlation Between Global Warming and Severe Weather

By
As pointed out yesterday in the New York Times , a recent study by the US National Climate Data Center (NCDC) indicates that the large number of severe global weather events in 2011 was likely exacerbated by global warming. While individual events can’t be attributed to global warming, the study’s authors explain their findings by comparing the increasing number of severe weather incidents to an increased numbers of home runs hit after a batter has started to use steroids; while there have always been incidents of severe weather (as there have always been home runs), the probability of their occurrence has markedly increased. If increasing pressure in the form of extreme weather is not enough to prompt serious lifestyle changes around the world, social pressure in the form of environmentalist media has never been more important.
