Over the past few months the Soil Association Standards Board has been considering whether it should withhold its Organic certification from air freighted food on environmental grounds. In Balance argued that it should not, because consumers need to be given clear information about the social and environmental impact of their shopping (rather than have ethical judgements made for them by labelling organisations).
Drawing on a consultation, the Soil Association yesterday came to the conclusion that development trumps greenhouse gas emissions, and that air freighted food can be given the Organic stamp - but only if it is also ‘fairly traded’ (as verified by the Fairtrade Foundation or the Soil Association itself).
The decision is subjective - it judges that 1. ‘fair trade’ leads to good development (which is by no means clear), and 2. good development is preferable to greenhouse gas emissions. By building these opinions into its Organic criteria, the Soil Associat

It’s your big debut, the show is about to open, the seats are full, and sitting front and center are the critics, reviewers, media, and your mom and dad. This is your big day! Then why do you feel like you might pass out any moment? Stage Freight is more common than you might think.Is your blood pumping so hard it’s pounding in your ears? Does your heart sound like you’ve just run a marathon? Does your throat feel so tight you fear you may not be able to do no more than squeak your lines out? Do your muscles feel so tense they are ready to burst? May I introduce you to your fight or flight response.It’s a human trait that goes way back to the caveman and this internal system regulates our response to stress when faced with danger. It’s a reaction that affects our sympathetic nervous system and it’s job is to get us out of harms way. On the stage it’s called stage freight.Even some big celebrities suffer from stage freight if only for an instant. Stage freight isn’t just

The Heartland Institute did a report on traffic, freight and otherwise. They are a group that focuses on transportation issues. In this report they outline the value of increasing rail usage for freight carriers nationwide. One of the benefits is traffic congestion. Another one is wear and tear on the highways.How many times have you been on a highway to find that 18-wheelers are slowing traffic considerably? They need to be on the roads (I tell myself), because we all need our goods and services. But it can get aggravating. When I lived in the DC area there were almost daily gridlock situations due to heavy truck traffic. The NJ Turnpike even has separate lanes for trucks for this reason.They point out that a National focus should be improved rail quality because......".... there are signs the growth cannot continue with the nation's current rail infrastructure. Freight train average operating speeds dropped from 24 miles per hour in 1990 to 21 miles per hour in 2000, reflecting at l
Labelling is pretty much the most important issue in consumer environmentalism, so it was an interesting story when the Soil Association Standards Board announced earlier in the summer that it is considering withdrawing its Organic label from air-freighted food.

New Delhi, May 10 (IANS) Railway Minister Lalu Prasad Thursday offered some major concessions and incentives in freight and loading of goods in railway wagons to manufacturers and traders of coal, cement, steel, fertilisers and food grains.
Lalu Prasad made the announcement at the first meeting of the Railway-Industry Coordination Committee held at the Rail Museum here.
Representatives of various trade and industry bodies attended the meeting, said a railway ministry spokesman.
The railway minister announced indefinite postponement of a 10 percent surcharge proposed on the freight for rakes charged on two point rakes and mini rakes.
Lalu Prasad acknowledged that very often it takes a long time for the Indian Railways to decide on applications seeking freight discount, adding that henceforth the railways would decide within two months from the date of application on all such demands.
“If the decision has to be taken at the level of the Railway Board, a maximum of three months wil
