Greenbuild is the annual expo for everything sustainable. This year, it’s being held in Phoenix, Arizona. This year, even with the economic decline, they hope to pull in 18,000 people with opening speakers such as former president elect Al Gore and artist Sheryl Crow.
While I envy anyone who gets to hear Al Gore speak, or Sheryl Crow perform, some of it is getting a bit creepy. I can let go of the Birdwatching and the Salon (yes, a 'green' salon), but there’s a ‘Cowboy Ride-n-Dine’ and a ‘Easy Sunrise Hike’. The hike meanders to the ‘Hole in the Rock’ to watch the sun rise where the early inhabitants, the Hohokam, recorded the position of the sun.
Ok, we’re getting a little too hippie even for me. But it gets better:
On the 14th is the first annual GreenBuild Golf Tournament. In Arizona.
In other news, Apple resigns from the Chamber of Commerce due to their backward policy on climate change. rock on, Apple.

The current US environmental and workplace laws are much stricter than China, where Apple get it's stuff made. So what exactly are they standing up for? What does it cost them?
