CLAIM TO FAME In 2000 Lowry and Ryan, high school friends from Detroit, decided to contest the idea that stronger chemicals make for better household cleaners. They introduced Method, a mass-market line of health-conscious and aromatic dish and hand soaps, bathroom cleansers, surface cleaners, laundry detergents, floor-care products and air fresheners. "It's been pounded into our heads that you can't have safe and effective products in one," says Lowry, who studied chemical engineering and environmental science at Stanford University. "That isn't true...
...BREAK Method positions itself as a brand that benefits, above all, personal well-being. The company's mission, "People Against Dirty," points to the harmful ingredients in cleaners as the real pollutants in our homes. Two years ago, Method came out with a triple-concentrated biodegradable laundry detergent and now the competition is catching on (Unilever launched its version, All Small & Mighty, last fall). Lowry says that if all detergents were to switch to concentrated formula, it would save 400 million gal. of water and about 200 million lbs. of plastic a year...
...deductive logic to prove their theorems; humanities majors strive to include supporting evidence in their essays . Since our minds are trained from a young age to require evidence, proof, and arguments before accepting a concept, theorem, or idea as legitimate, it is natural and expected that we employ this method when addressing matters of religion. While I cannot criticize the analytical approach of most Harvard students, I lament that people who employ this approach tend to look down on those who simply accept that certain events happened or that certain ideas are true based on faith. This condescension is somewhat...
...already appears that Bolten is much more the traditional chief in manner and method, and so it will be interesting to see what that means for the way Bush decides things. Bolten got a lot of attention earlier this week when he called on all Bush hands to declare now whether they want to leave or stay for the duration. This makes good sense; Bush has to calculate how to use what chits he has left to see which nominees through Senate confirmations hearings. It's worth noting that Card had done the same thing a month...
...currently provided by the CLC such as airport shuttles for school breaks and the provision of cardboard boxes during move-out, the UC should look to outsource services to enterprising student groups, and if necessary, consider incentivizing these initiatives through subsidizing grants. This would be a highly cost-efficient method, especially in comparison with the UC’s current system under which elected representatives with little business prowess run inefficient systems. With respect to FiCom, the UC must also seek reform. Currently somewhat hamstrung by bylaws—one, for instance, that requires a two-thirds vote to overturn...
