Big Plan on Campus Universities combat climate change	Shelley Smithson	31 Jul 2002	Main Dish
"Do it in the dark!" That's the rallying cry at Tufts University in Medford, Mass., where an ambitious campaign is under way to cut greenhouse gases. Sure, climate change activism -- conserving energy, using renewable fuels, and constructing eco-friendly buildings -- isn't as sexy as marching against Vietnam or burning bras. But in an increasingly warm world, working to reverse global climate chang ...

Weed Creed On weeding	Umbra Fisk	30 Jul 2002	Ask Umbra
Dear Umbra, We moved into a suburban neighborhood in Ft. Collins, Colo., last year and I began my usual organic gardening practices. I created a beautiful flower garden in our front yard, but I still receive complaints from my neighbors because I refuse to apply herbicides to kill the dandelions and other weeds in the lawn. At least they are all green and neatly mowed! My scientific explanations about the dangers of herbicides and pesticides and th ...

Bear With Us		14 May 2002	Daily Grist
Bear With Us In northwestern Montana, the human population has grown by about 30 percent in the last decade. That's a problem for some of the region's other notable inhabitants: grizzly bears. At least half of the grizzlies in the Lower 48 live in northwestern Montana, and as the area becomes more crowded, regrettable bear-human interactions become more common. Grizzly bears are a protected species, so the traditional method ...

Nalini Nadkarni is an ecosystem biologist at Evergreen State College. Dispatch: 1 \| 2 \| 3 \| 4 \| 5 Thursday, 02 May 2002 OLYMPIA, Wash. My Standard Breakfast Boiled Egg was pretty near perfect this morning. Unfortunately, I burned the toast. You win some, you lose some. Happily, the morning was bright and clear with a kiss of warmth in the air, which bodes well for the peas and beans and strawberry plants sprouting in my garden. I'm afraid I've lost th ...

Nalini Nadkarni is an ecosystem biologist at Evergreen State College. Dispatch: 1 \| 2 \| 3 \| 4 \| 5 Wednesday, 01 May 2002 OLYMPIA, Wash. Today is Canopy Lab Lunch. Every Wednesday at noon, I meet with the small cadre of students who are working or volunteering in my lab on projects related to forest canopy work. Because the Evergreen State College is a small, undergraduate-centered institution, I don't have many graduate students. So I try to cultivate the ...

Nalini Nadkarni is an ecosystem biologist at Evergreen State College. Dispatch: 1 \| 2 \| 3 \| 4 \| 5 Tuesday, 30 Apr 2002 OLYMPIA, Wash. My boiled egg this morning was a bit on the soft side. I caught a look of concern from my nine-year old daughter, Erika, but I reassured her that it was okay. After breakfast, I spent much of the morning plugging away on a quest for funding for a project that started five years ago, to build a forest canopy walkway on o ...

Nalini Nadkarni is an ecosystem biologist at Evergreen State College. Dispatch: 1 \| 2 \| 3 \| 4 \| 5 Monday, 29 Apr 2002 OLYMPIA, Wash. My day starts as most do: calling upstairs for my two children to rouse themselves for the beginning of the day. I then put on an egg to boil, a slice of toast to brown. I've been eating the same breakfast for the last three years, and even though the items of food are the same, I have come to learn that each day's breakfast ...

The Paper Chase On corporate paper recycling	Umbra Fisk	23 Apr 2002	Ask Umbra
I work for a large corporation that is very wasteful with paper. I am looking for information on whom I can complain to about this so that something will happen. They do not use recycled paper or require any recycling of paper. Beth Dearest Beth, Prepare yourself: The fate of reams of office paper is in your hands. You must be the defender of the discarded draft, the champion of the crumpled wad, the protector of the printer ...

Economics for Four-Year-Olds Thinking beyond the bottom link	Elizabeth Sawin	11 Apr 2002	Global Citizen
My four-year-old daughter spent the afternoon at a local science museum the other day, exploring an exhibit on biodiversity. She returned home full of determination, found a pencil and paper, and composed a letter. Now she distributes copies to friends and strangers alike. The letter begins: From Jenna to the world: Please stop making all this pollution. It's making all the animals sick and die. The fish ...
