Greenlist: Republicans for Cali's tougher vehicle emissions standards

>> All four Republican presidential candidates say they support California's bid to set tougher standards on vehicle emissions during last night's CNN Republican Debate. Here's the text of that portion of the debate.

>> The "feebate" bill got shelved. The California Assembly Bill aims to tax gas guzzlers and give rebates to fuel-efficient car buyers. Ira Ruskin (D-Redwood City) says he'll reintroduce an amended version next month. Earlier: Cali bill calls for "feebate" that would put a fee of up to $2,500  on gas guzzlers.

>> Plastic bottles are a bad idea -- especially if you boil them! Polycarbonate plastic bottles release up to 55 times more bisphenol A -- linked to breast and prostate cancer -- after they've been washed in boiling water. Earlier: Bring your own bottle.

>> A San Carlos man goes zero waste, gets sued by the city. Eddie House canceled his garbage service because he recycled and composted most everything -- to get slapped with a lawsuit. (via Groovy Green)
