After 50 years of incremental progress in making its purchasing more sustainable, the federal government still faces tremendous challenges to making acquisitions value sustainability, reduce carbon and halt climate changes to our environment. Every decision the government makes with its $600 billion of annual purchasing power has an impact it could and should be a positive one.
Recently, a federal procurement official said, We can’t just keep identifying individual products to preference if we expect to make a difference. For 50 years, the federal government has identified individual products with single environmental attributes for purchasing preference. It started with 10 recycled products and moved onto identifying products more energy-efficient than others. Then, it determined that products made with biobased feedstock such as corn and soybeans are preferable to petroleum-based products and continued identifying thousands of individual produ ....

No 'green halo' for renewables: First Solar, Veolia, others tackle wind and solar environmental impacts

Renewables are vaunted for their ability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as part of the push to address climate change in the United States and elsewhere, but that doesn’t mean they have zero environmental impact. 
Projections from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) show the share of renewable generation increasing from 18% in 2018 to to 31% in the U.S. by 2050. As their capacity grows, so does the scale of their effects along with industry and public awareness of the challenges.
Some of the environmental issues getting the most scrutiny have been toxic substances and wastewater generated in the production of some solar photovoltaic (PV) cells; changed land use and disrupted wildlife habitat from both solar and wind projects; and significant recycling and disposal challenges for both solar panels and wind turbine rotor blades. ....
