As November rolls along, we’re happy to see our community of readers, contributors, and sponsors growing. Our sponsors in particular are what make it possible to continue to publish great content and continue to build the 3p movement. Please take some time to check out what they’re doing and if you’re in a position to do so, thank them for their support of TriplePundit. If your company is interested in getting involved with 3p in any way, please get in touch with us!
The Bard Center for Environmental Policy at Bard College is an interdisciplinary curriculum which closely echos the founding principals of Triple Pundit – the idea that economy, ecology, and society are inherently intertwined and cannot be looked at as silos in addressing issues of sustainability. In the case of the Bard CEP, faculty from the school’s science, law, policy, and economics disciplines coordinate an integrated curriculum to address environmental matters. We’re excited to announce Bard CEP as our newest sponsor and will be periodically publishing interesting developments from the program.
The Environmental Defense Fund Innovation Exchange is continuing to evolve into an invaluable resource for businesses. You’d swear that there was a catch, since you rarely expect great resources like the Innovation Exchange without someone trying to sell you something, right? But the EDF partners with businesses, doesn’t take a dime in return, then open-sources the IP for all to share. You’ll also notice that the content on the Innovation Exchange is Creative Commons licensed, so share it all you want, as long as you share the credit with them. Check out the EDF Innovation Exchange Blog and their Twitter for more. Thanks EDF!

Readers: As you know, we’re in the wild West of new media, where the definition of journalism is blurry; where barriers to entry are delightfully low; and where ways to make a living are fleeting. We love what we (with your help) have created at 3P and want to keep it growing in the most transparent and useful fashion for everyone in our community.
We want to ask your opinions on a couple things concerning the future of this site: sponsorship and guest authorship. Read on to answer our 2 quick poll questions:
Business Not As Usual: Sorghum Burning At Coal Plants, And More
Posted by John Laumer October 2nd, 2009 0 Comments
- It’s not unusual to encounter wood-fired biomass power plants. Utilities in Europe and the USA currently add wood to the coal boilers. Here’s a new tactic for biomass burning. A large Louisiana coal-fired generator is planting a food crop as well as switch grass to do some trial burns. There are permitting and Cap & Trade issues worth contemplating. See Coal-Fired Power Generator To Supplement Boiler Feed With Switchgrass And Sorghum for details. Business significance rating: Urgency 2, and Criticality 4. (U2/C4).

As you likely noticed, the 3p team has been hard at work to provide the people who have made what started as a little side project the conversation-starting site that it is today. We’d like to thank you, our readers for being part of the movement in support of integrating people, planet, and profit in business. Thanks for the thoughtful comments, your time, and all of the nice things you say about us (at least when we are within earshot).
As an independent business media company, we depend on the support of like-minded companies and organizations. You’ll notice in the recent redesign of this site that we have begun featuring the logos of sponsors, as part of our vision for deeper, long-term partnerships that will create value for our prized readers. Please join us in thanking our friends at the EDF Innovation Exchange and Greener World Media this month for their support.

Update on Clearing the Air about Liquid Natural Gas
Posted by Gina-Marie Cheeseman May 12th, 2008 0 Comments
I can admit when I have made a “significant error.” Liquid natural gas (LNG) and gas to liquid (GTL) are different. According to the Center of Liquified Natural Gas, “LNG is natural gas in liquid form.” GTL converts gas to a liquid form using a chemical reaction known as the Fischer-Tropsch process.
Just to clarify so no one can make faulty assumptions on my position concerning using natural gas as transportation fuel, I will spell it out in plain language. I am opposed to the use of natural gas, in any form, as a transportation fuel for one main reason: it is a fossil fuel. As a fossil fuel, natural gas is not renewable. One day it will run out. As an advertisement for an oil company proclaims, “The future is in renewable energy.”

Triple Pundit Wants You
Posted by Nick Aster September 22nd, 2005 0 Comments
Do you have any interest in writing about buisiness and sustainability? Are you an MBA student looking for an outlet? I’m looking for some help keeping Triple Pundit going, and improving the quality and quanitiy of posts (especially editorially). As a full time student who somehow works on the side, it’s been really difficult to keep this site fully loaded, and even harder to move it to a new level. So! Please send an email to “tips at triplepundit” if you have any interest in becomming a contributor – either regular or occasional. I would love to have you on board.
Special Report Announcement – Presidio School of Management Marketing Blog
Posted by Nick Aster September 19th, 2005 0 Comments
Is the essence of marketing to sell a dream or to fulfill the dream of society? Is the dream of society the common good, or what the market wants, or what business wants? What role does marketing play in this tension?
My fellow students at The Presidio School of Management will explore these questions in a periodic weblog inspired by current events and readings in newspapers and other media. About 13 students are participating and there should be one or two posts a week for the next few months. Please have a look and as always, comment away!
Without further ado – click here to access the project.

Off to the Tundra
Posted by Nick Aster June 20th, 2005 0 Comments
Triple Pundit editor Nick Aster is off to Kaktovik Alaska today as part of the Treasure America team – looking for a win-win solution to the ANWR oil drilling debate. Although is is easy to prove that drilling in ANWR will have a negligable, if not negative, economic benefit for the average American, it will be much more difficult to come up with alternatives for the people who are actually living in ANWR – that’s the challenge we’re up against. It’s going to be a wild trip, and if I have a chance to post anything while I’m there I certainly will. The rest of the 3P crew will be taking care of the site while I’m gone. Thanks guys!
