This is more complete than the books and
publications section in our products page. Everything you find
there, you will find here; however, our
Newsroom
is a better place to search for periodicals. You can also find
good information in our quarterly newsletter,

have a
Laundry History

REPORTS
A bitter debate has broken out
in the scientific community over hydropower’s contribution to
global warming. A leading climate scientist calculates that
there are startlingly high levels of greenhouse gas emissions
when water is released from the turbines and spillways of dams
in the tropics. But hydro industry-backed researchers have
sharply attacked his work. An IRN report, "Fizzy Science:
Loosening the Hydro Industry’s Grip on Reservoir Greenhouse
Gas Emissions Research," calls for a UN scientific panel to
review the issue.

 "Well dressed?
The present and future sustainability of clothing and textiles in
the United Kingdom"
The Sustainable Manufacturing Group
is part of the Institute for Manufacturing at Cambridge
University. This report from them presents the outcome of a five
person-year study conducted at the Institute for Manufacturing on
the future supply of clothing and textiles to the UK. The bulk of
the work of the project was a scenario analysis of various future
means to meet the UKs demand for clothing and textiles. The
scenarios were developed with three case study products, and
analyzed according to the "triple bottom line", including
environmental life cycle costs, calculation of national accounts
and prediction of employment changes.
