    June 16th, 2008 · No Comments

    By Barbara Kessler
    Polar bears, penguins and caribou are all facing an uncertain future as global warming melts their arctic climates.

    If only they were the only species at risk. Tragically, these arctic animals have many cousins in similar straits in lower latitudes: From the American Crocodile to the Monarch Butterfly; the Green [...]

    By John DeFore
    Call it a solution to a problem that has ceased to exist: Now that Netflix whisks DVDs to your mailbox and downloadable movies threaten to make all physical home video media obsolete, a company called Flexplay wants to sell movie lovers discs they throw away after a single viewing.

    Green Magic At Disney World

    March 26th, 2008 · No Comments

    By Barbara Kessler

    ORLANDO — From the moment we clicked through the turnstiles at Walt Disney World, we morphed into rabid consumers, sopping up junk food like starving pirates and flitting from the rain forest to Neverland to the Haunted Mansion like Peter Pan on Red Bull. We rode every boat, hopped into every ride [...]

    “Metropolis” Mag Goes Green

    November 19th, 2007 · No Comments

    By John DeFore
    “Despite claims to the contrary, products with zero environmental impact do not yet exist.”
    With that sober introductory blurb begins the centerpiece of stylish architecture/design mag “Metropolis’s October issue, and it’s refreshing to get that kind of reality check in an age when many magazines seem a tad less skeptical of hype (described [...]

    As a part of their coverage of the sustainability beat, radio’s American Public Media has launched an online game called Consumer Consequences designed to help listeners put their individual use of natural resources in global perspective.
    With its mix of kid-friendly touches (players start by picking cartoon-character avatars) and grown-up ones (you need to [...]

    “Style” And Sustainability

    November 12th, 2007 · No Comments

    By John DeFore
    In an article this month titled “The Green Party,” Alexandra Jacobs considers the notion of eco-conscious entertaining and seems to conclude that it’s something only zealots and fools should attempt. She describes a friendly barbecue screeching to a halt over the host’s rejection of paper plates; she meets a man whose footprint-minimizing [...]

    The Eagles Land at Wal-Mart

    October 31st, 2007 · No Comments

    With co-founder Don Henley a longtime environmentalist, it was an easy decision by The Eagles to release their new CD Long Road Out of Eden in low-impact packaging. Perhaps not so simple was the band’s choice to sell its first studio album in 28 years exclusively at big box retailer Wal-Mart.
    Wal-mart has long been criticized [...]

    National Clean Energy Summit Turns Spotlight On Solar, Wind And Google’s New Geothermal Power Plans
    August 20th, 2008

    By Harriet Blake

    Nevada Senator Harry Reid joined forces this week with former President Bill Clinton, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Texas oilman-turned-wind-advocate T. Boone Pickens and other notables at the University of Nevada/Las Vegas for the National Clean Energy Summit.

    The summit also brought together business chiefs and experts in renewable energy, including speakers from Google and General Electric. Google used the opportunity to talk up its lastest clean energy investment in a new technology called Enhanced Geothermal Systems which efficiently taps the earth’s heat. “EGS could be the ‘killer app’ of the energy world,” said Dan Reicher, director for climate change and energy initiatives at Google.org, the firm’s philanthropic arm.

    Amazon.com Pushes Green Products
    August 20th, 2008

    By John DeFore

    Buying something new may not be the soul of environmentalism, but of course some products are greener than others, and rare is the eco-extremist who buys nothing at all. So it’s no surprise to see a crowded marketplace in the corner of Amazon.com devoted to Earth-friendly goods. [Read more →]
