| Onondaga County Wins 2013 U.S Water Prize
Onondaga County received the U.S. Water Prize for its Save the Rain program, a combined sewer overflow (CSO) abatement/water quality program focused on balancing the use of conventional wastewater/stormwater treatment technologies, with advanced, innovative green infrastructure best management practices. Rather than advance a costly project ($100 million estimated), County Executive, Joanie Mahoney joined with USEPA and New York State to petition the federal courts to change course and establish a new, more affordable and sustainable CSO abatement program. As a result, the Save the Rain program was born in November of 2009. Federal Justice Frederick Scullin approved a CSO abatement program that allowed the County to change course and advance a program that balanced the use of wet weather storage as well as a requirement to use green infrastructure. It was the first settlement of its kind in the nation to endorse and require green infrastructure as a stormwater management solution.
Congratulations to the Save the Rain program on this award.

Learn how to reduce one's carbon footprint
In this interesting article, a family lives without money and strives. These activists have gone on a money strike, surviving off the goodwill and excess resources of others to show people the excess-consumption society we live in. Living on strike for over two years now, Raphael Fellmer, his wife Nieves Palmer, and daughter Alma Lucia are drawing awareness of how not to make a wasteful society. They have traveled over 19,000 miles without money from Europe to Mexico by goodwill and others resources, showing that people can live without money and not be afraid to not be in the monetary system.
