Recognizing that poverty rates on reservations are twice the national average, Native groups called for support to "operate a new crop of renewable electricity generating infrastructure."
Dozens of scientific studies show that fully protected marine reserves have more and bigger fish than similar habitats that are fished, which makes them highly productive.
The Tennessee coal ash spill was a man-made disaster that is directly tied to our reliance on fossil fuels.
What I want from my new administration this year: a program to address climate change that is stunning in its breadth and scope. The weird thing is: I might get it.
The United States is running up record deficits and the world environment is in great peril. This is what my twelve year old daughter will face as an ...
We are mothers, fathers, creators and nurturers. We are teachers, lawyers, accountants and writers. And the future rests in our resiliently remarkable hands.
Nash's trademark high harmony vocals and impressive writing talents fluidly traverse the box set's newly-mastered, 64 tracks with career highlights... and remixes galore.
So what can you do, if you're concerned 1) about being truly happy inside and 2) helping everyone else and the outside world to be happy and healthy?
Seeking legal rights for nature appears pragmatic: just witness how corporations have flourished enjoying the same legal status. At first glance it seems counterintuitive, but perhaps it shouldn't.
TVA is telling the public not to worry, the water is safe, the coal ash is inert, but officials with TVA and EPA have already lost some credibility with the local residents.
We made the videos as we canceled unwanted sales catalogs for 30 days to save trees, water, energy, and climate. Our school canceled over 3,000 this year saving 40 trees!
With green jobs now positioned as "the solution" to both the economy and the climate, Obama has cover to take the politically expedient route of short-term green stimulus while ignoring serious climate policy.
How the money's spent matters not just because the "stimulus" might work or fail... It matters because we're despoiling the planet at an ever greater rate and we don't have a replacement.
The environmental crisis facing our world today has become an issue of social justice.

Helpful posts. I see the to "how much heat" depends upon several factors: Insulation, gaps, outside/inside temperatures, type and location of heat sources, individual physical differences, willingness to change, to name a few.
I set the living room propane stove at 65/59. Keep heat lower in other rooms (electric). Sleep with window open much of time. Have a BIG comforter, blanket on couch and office, long underwear. I had to experiment awhile to find what worked for this house.
no...I don't sleep with the window open AND the heat on in that room.
As they say, and now for the science...
Thermal transmission across a barrier is the thermal conductivity of the barrier (the inverse of its thermal insulation value) times the square of the difference in temperature. In other words a ten degree difference in heat transmits one hundred time the heat that a one degree difference in heat does. So for saving ene
