What’s the buzz on the latest issues in the Green Community? Check out what you may have missed last week:

Help the Citizens Preservation Fund stop a landfill – The Citizens Preservation Fund is seeking donations to help with all legal aspects of fighting this hazardous landfill. Although they have made a lot of progress, there is more work to be done.

Could microbes be a natural solution for oil spill cleanup? – Naturally occurring microbes in the ocean and on the shoreline will eventually eat the oil, break it down, and neutralize most of the toxins. They bind or transform harmful toxins to inert or even edible ingredients.

Code Green Community's efforts toward a sustainable Tampa Bay (videos) – If there were ever a time where a movement was needed to shift our society away from fossil fuel use, now is the time and we are the ones we've been waiting for!
