Every light bulb in my house is a compact fluorescent. I turn off lights and other appliances when not in use. I avoid buying foods in plastic containers. I think before I buy. I drive a hybrid car. I try to buy local foods whenever possible and available. I try to live a sustainable life but have far to go. I've been recycling everything I possibly can for the past 20+ years; I try to do my part. <br />This past summer while on a photographic journey to the Smoky Mountains I decided to take a detour through a town that I had never visited before, Sylva North Carolina. As I approached the mountain town I was greeted by the unmistakable smell of a paper mill. I was both saddened and disappointed as a thick pillar of smoke filled the otherwise pristine mountain sky. At first I was angered thinking I was approaching another paper mill exploiting the Western North Carolina Forest like the paper mill located in Canton ( farm3.static.flickr.com/2386/2275651095_bbba08e3cb.jpg ). However the mill I was about to photograph was the Jackson Paper Company ( www.jacksonpaper-nc.com/ ) a paper recycling facility. Located along a tributary of the Tuckaseegee River I found that the Jackson Paper is a recycle paper mill, turning used paper and cardboard into new paper products. While I'm sure operations like this reduce the amount of trees used in the production of their products they are certainly not without their environmental impact. This encounter with the realities of recycling has imprinted on me the need to follow the "Three R's" (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) more effectively placing priority on them with emphasis on Reduce and Reuse.<br clear="all" />Doughttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04560169341792439511noreply@blogger.com42tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10149479.post-9171118604052976582009-07-05T23:40:00.001-04:002009-07-05T23:40:39.553-04:00Official Food, Inc.

I have several new videos planned for 2008 and beyond all with a green theme and directed toward the environment and global warming. I'll take a look at <strong>hybrid vehicles</strong> and alternative means of transportation. I'll visit an <strong>organic farm</strong> and see how buying local produce can help to <strong>reduce your carbon footprint</strong>. I'll search out people that have choosen green lifestyles and show you ways that you can <strong>live a more environmentally friendly life</strong>.

Interstates 75 and 85 run together through downtown Atlanta with as many as 16 lanes of traffic making it one of the widest motorways in the world. The traffic flow is never less than 250,000 vehicles per day and on heavy traffic days carries more that 320,000. Much of this excessive traffic is due to the lack of a substantial mass transit system. Atlanta does have MARTA (Metro Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority) which includes buses and a rail system but it does not reach far enough into the suburbs to make it a reasonable alternative way to commute for most people. On more than 40 days between May and September in metro Atlanta, particularly during hot, dry summers, air pollution in the region may build to levels that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency deems unsafe for humans. One recent study predicted that 1 out of every 1500 cases of lung cancer in the area is due to these poor conditions .

The boys at LVM are "Creekers" meaning they run steep creeks and wild rivers. It's common for these guys to run 40 and 50 foot waterfalls. I've seen clips of guys running waterfalls over 100 feet! </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Creeking is the most dangerous type of kayaking. Every year there's always a list of kayakers that have lost their lives creeking. The places they go are usually remote and medical help is always hours away. </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">These guys kayak all over the world. They finance their trips and make their living by selling videos of their adventures. They have what may be the first <strong>"Video Magazine"</strong>. You subscribe to the magazine and four times a year they send you their most recent DVD, professionally packaged. It's a cool idea. In addition the the video magazine they also have several individual kayaking movies on the market. Watching an LVM feature is an experience in itself. You won't believe the places these guys go and paddle.They have also picked up several corporate sponsers along the way. </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">L.V.M has just announced their RSS feed so people can subscribe to their new Clip of the Week feature.

This is a long anticipated shoulder surgery to repair my torn rotator cuff and shoulder impingement. This puts me out of kayaking for the rest of the summer. I guess I'll have to spend my time videoblogging instead.<br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial;"><strong>Click on the picture below to view the video.</strong></span><br /><a href="http://www.kudzustudios.com/blogs/blog27.wmv" target="_blank"><img height="240" src="http://www.kudzustudios.com/blogs/blog27.jpg" width="327" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.kudzustudios.com/blogs/blog27.mov"><span style="font-family:arial;">Quicktime Version</a></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span>Doughttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04560169341792439511noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10149479.post-1115790324643647172005-05-11T01:34:00.000-04:002005-05-11T01:45:24.723-04:00Recycle This Too<span style="font-family:Arial;">How many old phones do you have lying around?

We got to the trailhead and I was suprised to see three vehicles already there. I knew the chances of seeing any bear would be slim. We didn't find the bears but we did have a great hike to Jack's River and the waterfall there.<br /><strong>Click on the picture below to view the video.</strong></span><br /><a href="http://www.kudzustudios.com/blogs/blog25.wmv" target="_blank"><img height="240" src="http://www.kudzustudios.com/blogs/blog25.jpg" width="327" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.kudzustudios.com/blogs/blog25.mov"><span style="font-family:arial;">Quicktime Version</a></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span>Doughttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04560169341792439511noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10149479.post-1115183099735997512005-05-03T23:26:00.000-04:002005-05-04T01:04:59.743-04:00The Plan<span style="font-family:Arial;">I'm going on a trip to the mountains tomorrow. I'll be hiking deep into the Cohutta Wilderness in North Georgia. My dog Luke and I will be hoping for some sort of encounter with a <strong>Black Bear</strong>.
