Circle Institute would
like to thank the Center for Sustainable Living, in Bloomington,
Indiana, for a instance of networking which was instrumental in
resolving a situation involving a neighboring business that was
burning plastic-containing refuse. Unfortunately, the practice, by
households in the county, is common. Our experience indicates the
cause to be ignorance of the Indiana State regulations which prohibit
the open burning of anything except wood, wood product and yard waste.
Attention has been given to the website (www.circleinstitute.com)
recently. And improvements, upgrades and augmentations continue - we
apologize for any missing links caused by the upgrades. The site has
suffered from animations which took too long to load and other big
picture problems. We are moving to a smaller picture format and
placing the animations as downloadable AVI files for those who would
take the time to see more detail.
The recent information from NASA's NEAR project about the composition
of the asteroids has been timely. We have been preparing a report on a
theory of the origins of planet Earth, inspired by Zechariah Sitchen's
work. We had wondered whether to present this report. However, the
discovery of the similarities in composition of the asteroids and the
Earth's crust give the theory more substance. Look for it to be posted
soon.
