Dry Upheaval		03 Jun 2002	Daily Grist
Dry Upheaval As if Colombia needs any more bad news: The war-torn nation's water supply could be reduced by as much as 40 percent over the next 50 years due to deforestation and other degradation of fragile high mountain ecosystems, according to Carlos Castano, director of the country's Institute of Hydrology, Meteorology, and Environmental Studies.

The Answer, My Friends		03 Jun 2002	Daily Grist
The Answer, My Friends The biggest wind-energy meeting ever held in the U.S. opened today in Portland, Ore. Industry-watchers say the large turnout -- more than 1,500 people have registered for the three-day conference -- is a good sign for wind energy in general and for the role of the Pacific Northwest in the wind market in particular. Oregon doesn't have the bes ...

They'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Gold		29 May 2002	Daily Grist
They'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Gold What if the environmental movement could do to gold what the animal-rights movement did to fur -- convince the public that far from being a badge of success, it is a symbol of cruelty and vanity? Some environmentalists would like to do just that, and they've got the facts to back them up: Gold mining leads to cyanide contamination in water sources, w ...

Bass Ackwards		20 May 2002	Daily Grist
Bass Ackwards It's Marine News Day here at Grist Magazine and therefore our duty to report that more than 90 restaurants in Los Angeles and Orange counties in Southern California will pledge Tuesday to pull Chilean sea bass from their menus in an effort to save the fish from overfishing and possible extinction.

That's the vision, sort of, of Global Action Plan, a nonprofit organization that is promoting the formation of EcoTeams, grassroots groups dedicated to helping neighbors create sustainable lifestyles and livable communities. The teams, which are currently in eight cities around the country, meet every other week for three or four months to discuss how to do their part for Mom Earth. Th ...

"Static Electricity House," a public service announcement by the Alliance to Save Energy, features a family trying to deal with the, uh, shock of big electricity bills by powering their house with static electricity.

Abbey Lives! A review of Edward Abbey: A Life	Gregory Gipson	14 May 2002	Arts and Minds
Writing a biography of an author can be a challenging task -- how much do you write about the subject's life, how much about the work? -- and reviewing such a biography even more so. That is especially the case when the subject of the biography is Edward Abbey, who wanted to be a novelist but wrote himself into several identities, among them wilderness Jeremiah and curmudgeonly cowboy. Abbey regularly complained that rev ...

Strange Treefellows		06 May 2002	Daily Grist
Strange Treefellows Conservationists are probably more closely identified with the struggle to save forests from logging than with any other environmental battle, as the label "tree hugger" suggests. So it was a case of strange bedfellows when enviros and industry representatives met late last month at the Forest Leadership Forum to discuss ways to better protect the world's remaining forests. More than 1,000 people from ...

Sim Nature A review of Digital Biology	Nicholas Thompson	25 Apr 2002	Arts and Minds
As every picnicker knows, if you spill strawberry jam in the grass, it will be swarming with ants in no time at all. The ants arrive quickly because they always find the shortest route from their nests to the spill -- but how? That question is one that fascinates cutting-edge engineers, computer programmers, and other scientists, who study nature in order to design better and more efficient technology -- a quest compellingly ...

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.

I Believe in Yesterday!		23 Apr 2002	Daily Grist
I Believe in Yesterday! While President Bush and former Vice President Al Gore spent Earth Day talking up the environment and taking jabs at each other, how was the rest of the world celebrating the occasion? In Indonesia, environmentalists blocked traffic and planted trees; in Thailand, some 15,000 Buddhists prayed for the Earth; in the Philippines, cyclists filled streets in the capital city; and back in the U.S. of A., Susan Sara ...

The Left Wing		04 Apr 2002	Daily Grist
The Left Wing Ah, the ever-elusive boundary between art and life. Who knows where it lies, but by all indications, somewhere right down the middle of the NBC drama "The West Wing." Here's the proof: This week, New Mexico's Department of Energy, Minerals, and Natural Resources felt the need to issue a press release explaining that Wednesday's episode of the hit show was fictional. In the show, a truck car ...

You Got to Know When to Hold 'Em		28 Mar 2002	Daily Grist
You Got to Know When to Hold 'Em Betting comes naturally to Nevadans, but the stakes are high and the odds are poor for a last-ditch effort to keep 77,000 tons of nuclear waste out of a proposed high-level radioactive waste facility in Yucca Mountain. The state's U.S. senators are about to unveil a multi-million dollar media blitz aimed at swaying the votes of key Republican lawmakers -- largely by ...

Quit Being Modest		22 Mar 2002	Daily Grist
Read more about: green living Quit Being Modest Enviros chalked up a small victory yesterday when the U.S. Senate threw its support behind a measure requiring that investor-owned utilities produce at least 10 percent of their electricity from renewable sources by 2020. The Senate did so by rejecting, 58 to 40, an attempt by Sen. John Kyl (R-Ariz.) to remove the requirement from the comprehensive energy bill before the chamber. Some enviros weren't satisfied with yesterday's win. The Sierra Club' ...

Appliance of My Eye Meanwhile, drought conditions in parts of the U.S. are driving up sales of water-efficient toilets, faucets, laundry machines, dishwashers, and other appliances.

I Sing the Garbage Electric		21 Mar 2002	Daily Grist
I Sing the Garbage Electric Maybe President Bush can learn a thing or two about environmental policy during his visit today to Monterrey, Mexico's third-largest city and home to an innovative program to turn rotting garbage into electricity. The city government is working with a local energy company to construct an electricity plant at the Salinas Victoria Landfill; the plant will turn methane produced by decomposing ...

Bananarama Price tags don't tell the full story	Elizabeth Sawin	11 Mar 2002	Global Citizen
I have a young friend who, I think, will never eat another banana without thinking a great deal about its history. Going bananas. On a trip to Belize, Hannah and other home-schooled teenagers saw monkeys, the rainforest, and Mayan villages. But the memory that seems to stand out most vividly is of a banana plantation. The workers at the plantation Hannah visited do not wear protective clothing. When planes fly overhea ...

Talkin' Trash What do you do with 11,000 tons of garbage per day? That's the problem -- well, one of the problems -- plaguing New York City, whose trash disposal system is becoming a political, logistical, and financial headache for the beleaguered metropolis. A $6 billion long-term garbage-management plan devised by the Giuliani administration is stalled and may fail entirely, and a s ...
