Oregon is blessed with growing organic vegetables and we waste no time to enjoy. The Corvallis Riverfront Market is a happening place Saturday morning.

OSU President Ed Ray marches with Class of 2011 … nothing like starting the year with a positive vibe. Read the GT story, “New student walk follows same route used for OSU’s graduation march.”

Check out President Ray podcast from earlier this year…podcasting with Grassroots Learning Project.

Great podcast with social historian Dr. Bruce Piasecki last week and I find the thesis in his new book World Inc provocative as we think about changing climate of global business, The S Frontier, and recipe of cooperation needed to help foster a sustainability vision for our planet. Oregon already leads the way in many of the ideas presented in the book 8 years in the making and now translated in Japanese. Piasecki says capitalism is transforming, companies going global, will confront the issue and learning around going green as well, or risk going extinct … enjoy the podcast!
