My story on Patti Small, who takes her ever-more-popular service of sharpening knives to farmers' markets in Greater Boston, was in the Globe today. You may recall that I also featured her on my blog not too long ago.

Across Major League Baseball, teams are getting greener, scoring both public relations points and on the bottom line. See how your team fares. E/The Environmental Magazine.

A trio of New England inns offer not ony respite from the road, but a chance to unhook from the grid. Boston Globe travel section.

A friend spied us in the Metrowest Daily News....

One of the best parts about being a journalist is you get asked — hell, you get paid — to explore subjects you might not have looked into otherwise. The best case in point for me is my story on the smart grid that is (finally) available online at emagazine.com.

You can approach sustainability from a number of directions, and for the current issue of Boston Home magazine, I came at it from two of them.

I spoke with three product providers that make their products with the ethics of recycle and reuse, and all three are in New England, making their use locally more sustainable than the same or similar goods from, say, Fiji.

I got an awful lot of help from family, friends, and former colleagues to come up with a list of worthwhile websites regarding Boston. I also got to meet a lot of interesting writers and partisans of one stripe or another. Click through to see the Globe Magazine story.

I have a story on the state of green building in Greater Boston in the current issue of GreenSource magazine, commissioned on the occasion of GreenBuild, the US Green Building Council's national convention. As many as 30,000 builders, developers, architects and other green partisans are expected at the Convention and Exposition Center next Wednesday through Friday (Nov. 19-21).

I recently got to meet a couple of inspired, committed people who are putting their environmental concerns and principles into deep, broad effect across their pursuits.

Sajed Kamal teaches about sustainability at Brandeis, but has traveled the globe — including in his native India and in his childhood home of Bangladesh — to aid renewable energy projects. He's got a small solar cell installed on his window sill and has almost a half-dozen solar cookers around his apartment. He led two solar installations in the Fenway, where he lives.

I've mentioned previously a story I wrote about electric bikes for E, the Environmental Magazine, and though it has been available to subscribers for more than a week, it's now available electronically as well. I commend it to you, but duh, I wrote it, y'know?
