We are eager to work with the new administration. With that being said, we also stand ready to act to hold the new administration accountable if it fails to enforce laws protecting the environment.
Their "Green Your Routine" feature offers easy, practical and economical ways to become green just by changing routines to alter the individual impact we each have on the environment.
Eco-activists Rachael Carson and Henry David Thoreau didn't call for cleaner air and water for gay people - they raised their clarion call to ignite a flame under all people.
The Big 3 are looking for a bailout. They should only get it if they agree to stop building autos that contribute to global warming now.
To achieve the green goal of dealing with overpopulation, it's necessary to mix some oestrogen into the environmentalist palette.
A decision by the Environmental Protection Agency today has ruled that all new and proposed coal-fired power plants must have their carbon dioxide emissions regulated. Wow.
This second Craig installment in the refreshed franchise couldn't care less about weapons of mass destruction. The movie's main plot twist is that water is the new oil.
President Bush has left a regulatory wasteland in his wake these last eight years, and it won't be easy for President Obama to undo all of the Bush ro...
We stand at the threshold of a singular opportunity in the human experiment: To re-imagine how to live on Earth in ways that honor the web of life, each other and future generations.
The EAB just ruled that the EPA had no valid reason for refusing to limit carbon dioxide emissions from new coal-fired power plants. This may signal the beginning of a clean energy future.
We must work, and work really hard, to keep our skies blue. So here are a few tips to reduce your carbon footprint.
What happens when an oil company gets its back to the wall in a human rights lawsuit? Like a cornered hound, it goes on the attack.
The changes we need in transportation are not something car companies or consumers can do on their own. What's needed is beyond new habits and new vehicles -- it's new infrastructure.
When the road-builders, bridge-builders, and school-builders get some money in their pockets, they may do more for automakers than any bailout can.
Two highly reactive chemicals in a common plastic can leak from disposable lab equipment and skew the outcome of life science research.

Species ending? It's our call
By Frank Keegan

Relax general. Cheer up. Things shall get worse, but they could get better. The choice is ours.
Hearing a vice chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff utter the words "species ending" about our near future should be enough to wake us all.
Gen. James E. Cartwright uttered the phrase recently during the inaugural Johns Hopkins University Leaders + Legends lecture. He spoke on "Leading Organizational Change to Meet New Challenges."
What challenges? Financial crises, climate change, weapons of mass destruction widely and readily available to rogue states and lunatic groups. Is that all? No.
"Competition (for scarce world resources) inevitably will lead to conflict," Cartwright said. "Are we at a tipping point? Yes. Will we have control? No."
Generals are interested because when leaders of state, commerce and church mess up, armed forces have to clean up.
Cartwright"s love and admiration for the men and women who fight for us if things go wrong is palpable. Figuring out when and where the next conflict breaks out, and how best to combat it, is what generals are supposed to do.
Now they also try to figure out why, and ways to prevent it. For example, a 2004 Department of Defense study determined global warming is the No. 1 threat to the security of the United States. How can that be if ...
Hello! For the past three years I've served my gated community which covers 1876 acres, 26 miles of streets, over twelve miles of shoreline, about 2650 homes, many parks as well as an 18 hole golf course. Our Property Owners Association runs a 4M annual budget. And with a population of nearly ten thousand, we are indeed a small city. Currently, as a community we are all too much feeling the pain of the economical turn down incuring our share of foreclosures, home abandonment, and members financially unable to pay their dues.
As a Board of Director I am keenly interested to learn as much as possible regarding the possbility of my community becoming a role model community adventuring toward alternative energy for our entire community!
I post this comment inviting those to help point me to all avenues of interest, education, and reform opportunities.
Thank you for your follow up comments.

Why should Calif. be granted a waiver for tailpipe emissions standards.
What is that about.....They must have a lot of pollution with all the traffic in Calif.
Some of this is overkill.....Here is a committee that their sole purpose is figuring out ways to
change America. In the meantime we are getting pollution from other sources.
Look at the volcano's that spew stuff all the time....Look at airplanes...Look at the damage earthquakes
do, and the mess they create...Look at the fires in Calif...Look at the pollution when there are buildings
that catch fire... Look at accidents that cause fires and the tires are burning. etc...etc....etc
Seems like their main interest is holding America hostage because of their views.
Meanwhile, a lot of our industry has moved because of the restrictions and per diem charged for
not changing everything to their expectations.
A town near me wanted to put up a windmill and EPA said no because it would interfere with
the flight pattern of the birds.......go figure.....
