Photo from Indonesia: Greenpeace activists working with locals to halt drainage by constructing dams on peatlands. This will prevent the peatland from drying out and releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Peat-forming wetlands are an estimated 60% of all the wetlands distributed globally. Do peatlands remain in the “grey zone” seemingly unattractive to the conservation movement? I was reminded of Digging, the poem by Seamus Heaney:…

Performance modifying your green vehicle just might have been one of those things that made the C + C Music Factory exclaim, “hmmm” back in 1991.
You had to know it was coming… it was only a matter of time before the peppy and the frugal caught up with the Fast and the Furious. The Smart Car now officially has a performance aftermarket in the USA, and we’re not just talking about the cute race stripes and chrome shifter knobs, these are the all out modifications of vertical car doors, wide-body kits, spoilers, performance air intakes, and stainless steel exhaust system…

The Trouble with Water in the Galapagos
Please Use Only as Much Water as You Need. Conserve Water.
In the Galapagos, slogans like these are ubiquitous in tourist-heavy zones—the messages these appear on door-hangers in hotels, introductory speeches on cruise ships, and travel pamphlets all over the islands.
And though the plea is inserted into lightly worded tourist literature, the problem with water is among the most severe and urgent issues facing the Galapagos Islands.

Should you only choose “all-natural” products? It might seem like the right thing to do.
The most important step to take in building or remodeling a house is to eliminate toxic materials as often as possible.
The second principle of healthy construction involves separating unhealthy materials from the air you breathe.
Every time I feel as though L.A. is finally on the cusp on improving its (woefully) underfunded public transit system, something comes along to scuttle my excitement. The latest controversy surrounds the Expo Line, an $862 million light rail project that will connect downtown Los Angeles to Culver City and which is slated for completion in mid-2010. (That will be the first phase; the second phase will eventually extend the line from Culver City to Santa Monica — see the “subway to the sea.”) The plan could be delayed, however,…

AFP - Hundreds of billions more dollars are likely to be needed to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions by a 2030 target, according to UN estimates published on Friday ahead of global talks on climate change.
OneWorld.net - UNITED NATIONS, Nov 28 (OneWorld) - Calls for greater participation of the world’s indigenous leaders are on the rise as another round of talks on global climate change opens in the Polish city of Poznan next week.

Ten things to eat before they die: not you but they–as in endangered foods from speciality and artisanal producers who are trying hard to stay in business. From Africa to the UK there are gourmet products made by local people whose production is threatened because of globalisation and and the homogeneous, supermarket dominated world that we live in. Organisers of a gala dinner event chose 18 ingredients from a list of hundreds of vanishing delicacies and narrowed it down to ten starring foods. The menu was devised in association with the

The Galapagos Islands are undoubtedly one of the most unique ecological sites in the world—Darwin could’ve told you that. And he did. But the legacy he began in biological education has found a strange place in the land that first inspired him.
“The priests here teach evolution in church,” our tour guide tells us at the visitor’s center on San Cristobal, Galapagos’ capitol island. And if that sounds like a bizarre and complex situation in itself, just wait until you hear…
Leading figures from the food and drink industry celebrated the one year anniversary of their commitment to cut their impact on the environment on Thursday.
AFP - Gasping for water and fearful that climate change will amplify its problems, Jordan is pinning its hopes for liquid salvation on a scheme with no parallel: hauling water from the Red Sea to replenish the Dead Sea.
AFP - The world financial crisis must not become an excuse for backsliding on efforts to curb global carbon emissions, a top UN environmental official warned Thursday.
AP - The global financial crisis will make it harder for countries to agree on an ambitious new treaty to combat global warming and underscores the need to make green technologies profitable, the U.N. climate chief said Thursday.
AP - Some 500 women rallied in Bangladesh’s capital on Thursday, demanding richer nations cut their greenhouse gas emissions and compensate the impoverished countries that experts believe will be hardest hit by the impacts of climate change.

AP - Despite widespread optimism that President-elect Barack Obama will adopt policies more to their liking, some European officials are preparing to be disappointed on global warming.
Pretty soon, you may be lighting up your office or home with a flat, credit-card sized LED light. Oree, an Israeli start-up, recently received $4 million in funding from Silicon Valley Bank and Kreos Capital to work on driving down the cost of LED lighting.
