I know I haven’t written here in a while, even after I said I’d start up again. But, well, you know how it goes.
In any case, I’ve decided to try my hand at podcasting, and the title of the new show is, surprise, The Third Wave. I like the name, and plus, it’ll be easy [...]

For those of you who don’t know, Powershift is a youth climate rally in Washington, DC (the other Washington), and it is huge. They’re telling us there are 11,000 kids from all over the United States and Canada (and a girl I met who is apparently from Austria) coming together to talk about the solutions [...]
Who’s to Blame?

Maybe one of the most compelling arguments offered by anti-environment politicians for not regulating GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions is that developing countries like China and India have to commit to regulations, as well.
It’s an argument that’s fairly strong, because it recognizes the global scope of the problem. This has become especially relevant now that we know [...]

A lot can change in a few weeks.
The EPA is finally agreeing to consider regulating CO2 emissions from coal plants. With the departure of the Bush administration, we can breathe a collective sigh of relief, because I firmly believe that science, not ideology, will now direct what course the EPA will follow.
Lisa Jackson, the new [...]

One of the “truths” about economics, one of those fundamental building blocks upon which modern economic theory rests, is the idea that consumers and producers have imperfect knowledge about the market. For example, a consumer might want to purchase a new pair of shoes, and decides to buy pair A instead of pair B because [...]
Back?

I think the time has come to start blogging here again.
It was a long hiatus, I know…and I had planned on returning to full-time blogging last fall after the end of summer, but that’s not exactly how things worked out. In any case, I hope some of you out there still have this on an [...]

The Wolves Are Safe

You may remember a previous blog post about the delisting of the Northern Rockies gray wolf population.
Well, I stopped by the EarthJustice website, and it turns out they won their lawsuit, and the wolves are being relisted.
The article was pretty good, and there were some interesting statements from different conservation groups at the very end. [...]

Finally.
On July 7, 2008, the Ecuador Constitutional Assembly – composed of one hundred and thirty (130) delegates elected countrywide to rewrite the country’s Constitution – voted to approve articles for the new constitution recognizing rights for nature and ecosystems.
“If adopted in the final constitution by the people, Ecuador would become the first country in the [...]
Summer Break!

As some of you may have noticed, I’ve not been posting as regularly as I usually do. Sorry! But this is mainly on account of the fact that I am now on summer break, and will remain so until the end of September.
“But doesn’t that mean you have a TON of free time on your [...]
