I Was a Teenage Polluter
On environmentally oblivious teens |
Umbra Fisk |
27 Apr 2004 |
Ask Umbra |
| Dear Umbra, My girlfriend's 14-year-old daughter lives with us, and she's the most environmentally oblivious person I've ever met. She makes George Bush and Dick Cheney look like card-carrying members of the Green Party. She throws trash out the car window or tosses it on the street. She never shuts off a light or turns down the heat when leaving a room. She can stand in front of the open refrigerator for 15 mi ... |

| James Gustave Speth, dean of Yale's environment school. What should be the role of academics in supporting environmental causes and policies? Do you think that just doing the research is enough, or should they advocate from their conscience? -- Roger Smith, West Hartford, Conn. Scientists have got to become more outspoken.

Cater to Pater
On intransigent non-recyclers |
Umbra Fisk |
15 Jan 2004 |
Ask Umbra |
| Dear Umbra, I am a completely eco-friendly person and strive to have my family follow in those footsteps. We have a recycling system -- one my canned-beer-drinking dad refuses to abide by. (Not that I'm criticizing canned beer or my father. Both are good.) He refuses to recycle his cans, and I'm a little tired of digging them out of the garbage. Is there anything I could do to change his outlook on his wastefulness? Rebecca ... |

| What, Exxon Unethical? You're Kidding Me! Academics Up in Arms Over Exxon-Funded Research When Exxon went to court in 1997 to appeal a $5.3 billion punitive damage verdict over the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill, it cited articles from respected journals and law reviews that found that high punitive damages were bad for society or based on the unjust whims of quixotic juries.

| Food for Thought At Yale Dining Hall, A New Food Ethic Emerges The word "cafeteria" does not exactly bring to mind healthful, organic, and delicious dining -- but Yale University is setting out to change all that. The ivy league institution has teamed up with Alice Waters (the chef who changed the face of American cuisine through Chez Panisse, her California restaurant) to create the Sustainable Food Pr ... |

Don't worry, we're not calling you a bad name; the term stands for "lifestyles of health and sustainability" and was coined a few years back by marketers to define a growing niche of goods and services designed to attract eco-friendly ... |
