Vote Environment
With all respect to Randy, Earth First may have started in the U.S., but Greenpeace started in Canada. Despite what a few politicians and a lot in the media are saying, Canadians do care about the environment, and many are trying to keep it at the centre of the debate in this campaign:

Just environmental journalists?
"I don't think environmental journalists, as an actually existing group of people within the journalism community, are keeping up with the times."
I think you're being a bit unfair here. It's not just environmental journalists; it's the whole lot of them.On Green journalists out of touch? posted 1 year, 7 months ago 12 Responses
SeaChoice in Canada
Kudos to Grist and Monterey Bay for highlighting this important issue, and for using the great photo of a landmark restaurant sign in Vancouver, Canada, to illustrate the story. On that note, some of your readers might like to know that similar Canadian information, including downloadable seafood cards, is available at www.seachoice.org. Like the Monterey Bay program, SeaChoice is aimed at encouraging sustainable fisheries, in part through consumer action. Its member groups include the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, the David Suzuki Foundation, Ecology Action Centre, Living Oceans Society, and the Sierra Club of Canada.On How the Monterey Bay Aquarium makes its safe-seafood list posted 1 year, 8 months ago 5 Responses
