Nonprofit Tech 2.0 Celebrates Its One-Year Anniversary!

One year ago today Nonprofit Tech 2.0 published its first blog post. At the time I was a skeptical blogger. I had low expectations for Nonprofit Tech 2.0.

EPA awards $630,500 Clean Diesel grant to South Shore Clean Cities Inc. (IN)

Last Updated on Wednesday, 25 August 2010 13:47

Chicago (Aug. 25, 2010) - U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5's Midwest Clean Diesel Initiative awarded a $630,500 grant to South Shore Clean Cities Inc. The grant was awarded as part of EPA's ongoing efforts in the National Clean Diesel Campaign. This project will help reduce exposure to diesel emissions from marine vessels operating on Lake Michigan. Replacing the engines in two marine vessels that operate on Lake Michigan with newer, cleaner running engines, will result in an estimated yearly reduction of 11.9 tons of nitrogen oxides, 1,200 pounds of particulate matter and 26 tons of carbon dioxide emitted from these vessels. South Shore Clean Cities Inc. is a Crown Point, Ind.-based nonprofit organization dedicated to educating and assisting both public and private sector fleet owners and individuals. South Shore Clean Cities Inc.'s mission is to create a sustainable transportation fuels industry in Northern Indiana.

Boehner's Economic Take: At Odds With CBO, Biden and Guru Mark Zandi

Last Updated on Wednesday, 25 August 2010 13:29

Rep. John Boehner, the House Republican leader and speaker-in-waiting, isn't getting much pundit love for his speech on the economy Tuesday at the City Club of Cleveland. The headline was his suggestion that President Obama fire Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, economic adviser Larry Summers and the rest of his economic team. Conservative blogger Ed Morrissey called that sound counsel. But economist Mark Zandi, who has advised candidates of both parties, including Obama and 2008 GOP nominee John McCain, said Wednesday that would be counter-productive. "Certainly changing leadership doesn't engender any confidence, significant confidence. I don't think that would be prudent or that would be helpful in any way," Zandi, chief economist of Moody's Analytics, said at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast with reporters.
