SPRAWL LINKED TO OBESE KIDS 'A new study has found adolescents who live in sprawling counties are more likely to be obese than their counterparts in dense counties, results that echo similar findings in adults. 'Children ages 12 to 17 in disconnected, spread-out neighborhoods -- where cars have virtually eliminated the need for walking -- weighed more than those who lived in dense neighborhoods with destinations nearby, according to research led by Reid Ewing, an associate professor at the University of Maryland's National Center for Smart Growth. '"This novel finding, that where you live can affect your weight, has been challenged, tested, and generally validated (in adults), but never for kids," Ewing said. 'The study, published online Tuesday in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, is the first national study of youth obesity and the built environment.' - ScienceDaily, 2006.1213 http://www.sciencedaily.com/upi/index.php?feed=Science&article=UPI-1-20061213-22461800-bc-ecowellness-sprawl-crn2.xml Green and Sustainable Design and Building News This Week -------------------------------------------------------- States Sue EPA over Soot Levels - Houston Chronicle, 2006.1218 http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/nation/4410654.html Brazil Probes Dead Fish Washing Ashore - Seattle Post-Intelligencer, 2006.1218 http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/1501AP_Brazil_Dead_Fish.html Off-Roaders, Activists Vie for Canyon Control - Pasadena Star News, 2006.1218 http://www.pasadenastarnews.com/news/ci_4864523 Green Standards Spur Shift - News-Observer, 2006.1218 http://www.newsobserver.com/104/story/522637.html Environmental and Social Justice Are at the Heart of Sustainable Development - EcoClub Interview, 2006.1217 http://ecoclub.com/news/086/interview.html Equator's Glaciers Are Slipping Away - Canada East, 2006.1217 http://www.canadaeast.com/ce2/docroot/article.php?articleID=80997 Eco Warning Challenge to Housing Sector - AZoBuild, 2006.1215 http://www.azobuild.com/news.asp?newsID=2896 Eco-Logical Library Is a Study in Green - Miami Herald, 2006.1215 http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/16245501.htm India Says Its Carbon Emissions Not Harming World - Scientific American, 2006.1214 http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?chanID=sa001&articleID=36EF259D4D9967F3A81AA326160128C7 Sprawl Linked to Obese Kids - ScienceDaily, 2006.1213 http://www.sciencedaily.com/upi/index.php?feed=Science&article=UPI-1-20061213-22461800-bc-ecowellness-sprawl-crn2.xml EPA Opts Not to Limit Mercury by Older Kilns - Oregonian, 2006.1213 http://www.oregonlive.com/news/oregonian/index.ssf?/base/news/1165983934216650.xml&coll=7 Google Plants Solar Trees - Wired, 2006.1213 http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,72292-0.html?tw=rss.index Mideast Renewable Energy Sector Anticipates Massive Growth - Maktoob, 2006.1213 http://business.maktoob.com/oilenergynew.asp?id=20061213012911 In Forest Plans, No Environment Analysis - Examiner, 2006.1212 http://www.examiner.com/a-452438~In_Forest_Plans__No_Environment_Analysis.html Industry Struggles to Determine Value of Green Building - KGW, 2006.1211 http://www.kgw.com/sharedcontent/APStories/stories/D8LUH0E80.html Classic Home 070 - Kaufmann Desert House by Richard Neutra http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2006/1213/classic_home.html People and Places - http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2006/1213/people_and_places.html Current Quiz - In evaluating and comparing paints, a critical piece of information is the amount of volume solids in a particular paint.
