I think the tap water is disgusting and we need locally produced gallon or larger sized bottles of distilled water, especially in a large reserve for natural disasters.

This glacier water isn’t a bunch of little plastic bottles is it? I heard it was five gallon reusable water cooler bottles, a whole different thang sustainabulitywise. Not as efficient as just using the pipes (tubes?) in place, but lots better than the water:plastic ratio in the handhelds.

I worked on some architectural feasibility studies for the Mexican Original Plant. The charge was to put a nonprofit art organization (NWA Community Creative Center) into part of that plant space. Coody supported the move but always with the caveat that some of the space had to remain usable in case of national emergencies, particularly on the south side of the building where the loading docks are located. So, i believe it to be genuine that they would be looking to use the space for emergency response, but i would bet there will be more going on there than just sitting and waiting for the next disaster.

yes, water bottles are bad. not sure how to make the judgment between progressive policies and providing jobs. thats a tough one…

I vote NAY! Are we on the sustainability bus or under it? I understand that there must be a balance between economic development and environmental concerns. Sometimes you have to give up one for the other. Actually, one of the things I like most about Coody is that he understands this. But this kind of flies in the face of our efforts to re-define our community and economy. It would be a big **** stain in our shiny new green undies.

Plus, can we get some effing jobs in Fayetteville that don’t involve factory work or the food/drink service industry!!! Don’t get me wrong. I’ve done both…multiple times. But we need more jobs for college graduates, not just college students. I’m tired of driving to Rogers/Bentonville everyday and giving those yuppie ****s my tax revenues. Rogers/Bentonville springdales!

(yay. i actually made it through a post without saying “****”. i’m trying to get better before Double F starts enforcing the Patriot Act on us.)

unemployed people typically don’t vote for incumbents no matter how sustainable their community is.

Good water is defnitely a resource in NWA.
