Sometimes they seem to just do silly things to get attention, like Senator Nicole Eaton, who wants to replace Canada's national symbol, the beaver, with a polar bear. Calling the beaver a "dentally defective rat," she claims that the polar bear is more fitt... weiterlesen...

If you live anywhere from Philadelphia, through New York, New Jersey, and lower New England you don't need to be told how abnormal the snow over this past weekend was, or that it set records. But you may not be aware just how unusual it really was. For that, Jeff Masters at Weather Underground lays out the details. Masters describes the storm as "simply unbelie... weiterlesen...

As a general rule, I tend to get nervous when I hear about a "permaculture song". While permaculture design may have brought us such genius innovations as chicken tunnel cultivation and working swimming pools growing fish and algae, most permaculture-inspired music I have heard tends to lean too heavily on worthy sentiment and e...Read the ful... weiterlesen...

In cities and towns all over North America, citizens are trying to occupy their own back yards and raise their own chickens, only to have the governments cry fowl play. We recently quoted the mayor of one such town, who said "I think it's just wrong to have animals in the urban centres. What's next? Where do we draw the line? Cattle, swine, sheep?" ...R... weiterlesen...

I gave a talk at LA Green Festival on Saturday. It was an update on a guest post by my colleague Jerry Stifelman entitled Greenhushing Doesn't Help Anyone: Why Green Businesses Must Speak Up, arguing that it is as important for green businesses and organizations to communicate effectively about the good they are doing as it is to actually do it. ...Read the f... weiterlesen...

Our roads are designed for cars, and there are often sensors that control lights or count vehicles in the road that don't pick up bikes; I often stop at an intersection waiting for a light to change, (yes, some cyclists do stop at red lights) and find that it never does unless I go hit the pedestrian button; the sensors don't know I am there. As for pedestria... weiterlesen...
