Greening the Elephant Republicans for Environmental Protection need not be an oxymoron	Martha Marks, Writers on the Range	13 May 2003	Soapbox
In the seven years since I cofounded Republicans for Environmental Protection, officially known as REP America, I have answered two questions more often than any others: "Isn't Republicans for Environmental Protection an oxymoron?" And, "If you care so much about conservation and environmental protection, why don't you become a Democrat?" Th ...

The ancient mountains of Appalachia are corrugated with deep, narrow valleys, some of them no wider than a football field.

That innovation, mountaintop-removal mining, litera ...

Hamster Dance		27 Feb 2003	Daily Grist
Hamster Dance Eight environmental organizations sued the U.S. Forest Service yesterday for failing to increase the fees paid by ranchers to graze livestock on public lands.

Job None		07 Jan 2003	Daily Grist
Job None Following the collapse of the Northwest timber industry in the 1990s, thousands of workers lost their jobs.

True, the region's economy as a whole grew during the '90s, ...
