		<description><![CDATA[Video about the By-Product Synergy Northwest's recent meeting at Seattle City Hall about turning waste into profit.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was happy to recently roll out this new video for the <a title="Link to By-Product Synergy website" href="http://nbis.org/programs/by-product-synergy-nw/" target="_blank"><strong>By-Product Synergy Northwest</strong></a> group, a project of the Seattle nonprofit <a title="Link to Network for Business Innovation &amp; Sustainability website" href="http://nbis.org/programs/by-product-synergy-nw/" target="_blank"><strong>Network for Business Innovation and Sustainability</strong></a>. Through my work with <a title="Link to Cedar Grove website" href="http://CGCompost.com" target="_blank">Cedar Grove Composting</a>, their education coordinator had connecting me with a <a title="Link to event details" href="http://wastetoprofitpugetsound.eventbrite.com/" target="_blank">workshop</a> that the group was putting on at <a title="Link to Seattle City Hall Green Roof info" href="http://www.greenroofs.com/projects/pview.php?id=310" target="_blank">Seattle City Hall</a> that was attended by about 70 local participants, an interesting mix of people from government (<a title="Link to WA Dept of Ecology" href="http://www.ecy.wa.gov/" target="_blank">The Washington Department of Ecology</a>, <a title="Link to Seattle Public utilities" href="http://www.cityofseattle.net/util/About_SPU/index.asp" target="_self">Seattle Public Utilities</a> and <a title="Link to King County Dept of Natural Resources" href="http://www.kingcounty.gov/environment/dnrp.aspx" target="_blank">King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks,  Solid Waste Division</a>), the nonprofit environmental sector (<a title="Link to Pollution Prevention Resource Center" href="http://www.pprc.org/" target="_blank">Pollution Prevention Resource Center</a>), and regional green business leaders from major industrial manufacturers (<a title="Link to Lafarge Cement" href="http://www.lafargenorthamerica.com/wps/portal/" target="_blank">LaFarge Cement</a>, <a title="Link to Shell's Environmental policy" href="http://www.piersystem.com/external/index.cfm?showmenu=3_13&amp;cid=3&amp;fuseaction=EXTERNAL.docview&amp;documentID=59810" target="_blank">Shell Puget Sound Refinery</a>, &amp; <a title="Link to Sellen's Sustainable Practices info" href="http://www.sellen.com/bestpractices.html" target="_blank">Sellen Construction Company</a>) to other local businesses (<a title="Link to Canyon Creek's Sustainability Commitment/Practices" href="http://www.canyoncreek.com/about_us/green_company/" target="_blank">Canyon Creek Cabinet Company</a>, <a title="Link to Cascade Designs Conservation/Green Commitment" href="http://cascadedesigns.com/Our-Story/Access-and-Conservation" target="_blank">Cascade Designs</a>, <a title="Link to Grays Harbor's Sustanability Commitment" href="http://ghpaper.com/planet.html" target="_blank">Grays Harbor Paper Company</a>).  The focus on the meeting and the group in general is on turning waste into profit, and through the group and the larger networks of the organization creating the connections through forums and events that help to facilitate that. A handful of companies presented on how they&#8217;ve managed it within their own businesses. There was even a presentation from the <a title="Link to their Sustainability &amp; Environmental Focus" href="http://www.doc.wa.gov/goals/sustainability/default.asp" target="_blank">Washington State Department of Corrections</a> and how they&#8217;re turning waste into profit not just through programs that do things like recycling mattresses by extracting the reusable wood and metal in the frames and other materials, but through gardening and other employment training programs aimed at reducing recidivism.</p>
<p>Other businesses and organizations in the group include <a title="Link to UCBCSD website" href="http://www.usbcsd.org/" target="_blank">US Business Council for Sustainable Development</a>, <a title="Link to Environmental Health Services info" href="http://www.kingcounty.gov/healthServices/health/ehs.aspx" target="_blank">King County Department of Public Health</a>, <a title="Link to Impact Washington website" href="http://impactwashington.org/" target="_blank">Impact Washington</a> (formerly Washington Manufacturing Services) and <a title="Link to Fred Hutch website" href="http://www.fhcrc.org/index.html" target="_blank">Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center</a>.</p>
<p>I was excited to show how a video like this can make an event come to life online, in a way that still pictures and words simply can&#8217;t. With a video, folks who have an interest in the event but wonder whether it&#8217;ll be worth their time or not can get a real sense of what&#8217;s going on here, and see and hear the testimonials of the participants. Plus, I&#8217;ve been helping to educate the group about how to share the file with their members on their blogs and website to give the piece further exposure in attracting more members to the community. Based on what&#8217;s being said here, it&#8217;s clear this group is an effective place for networking and connecting both for learning around these issues and for business. It&#8217;s my hope to make some new connections with this community so that they can begin using video as a tool to share with their customers and community the green choices that they&#8217;re making in their businesses.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently finished this video for the Seattle Youth &#038; Families Initiative, which was just linked to on NYTimes.com]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Friday, the New York Times ran this <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a title="NYT article about Seattle" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/02/us/02seattle.html?scp=1&amp;sq=children%20seattle&amp;st=cse" target="_blank">article</a></span></strong> about the city of Seattle and what kind of place it is for raising children.  In the article was a link to Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn&#8217;s new <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a title="Youth &amp; Families Initiative" href="http://youthandfamilies.seattle.gov/" target="_blank">Youth &amp; Families Initiative</a></span></strong>, which I just happened to have finished <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a title="Y&amp;F Init. VIdeo" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlTlA-i4jwE" target="_blank">the video</a></span></strong> for earlier in the week. Our initial plan was to wait til next week to roll it out, but with the link and increased attention to the initiative, they decided to make the video live that day. It was an exciting synchronicity for me.  I was pleased with the way the piece turned out and felt like it really captured the energy in the room, and the broad spectrum of Seattleites who were participating in the conversation.  I felt like NYT readers or visitors to the Youth and Families website could get a real sense of what the actually took place at initiative events , and that ideally they&#8217;d be moved to get involved in helping to make Seattle a healthier, more equitable community.</p>
