The plan, which was the result of a ...

Soothing the Savage Breasts		16 Nov 2001	Daily Grist

Rocky Mountain Low Hoping to give himself a green sheen, President Bush traveled to Rocky Mountain National Park yesterday to engage in trail work for a few minutes and talk about character.

Spreading Like Wildfire		14 Aug 2001	Daily Grist
Spreading Like Wildfire The Bush administration and governors from Western states agreed yesterday to the outlines of a 10-year plan to reduce the risk of wildfire, but postponed until next spring discussion on how the plan would be implemented. In the past, fire authorities focused on suppressing fires that had already begun. The new plan focuses on better collaboration among federal, state, and local governm ...

Hey Good Lookin', What Ya Got Cookin'?		27 Jul 2001	Daily Grist
Hey Good Lookin', What Ya Got Cookin'? Nearly all residents in Villaseca, Chile, cook with solar power --pretty nifty in a country where firewood is a big source of energy, contributing to a steep loss in old-growth forests each year. Villaseca in sunny northern Chile has only 300 residents, but proponents of the solar technology hope the gizmos will spread across the region. Pedro Serrano, an environ ...

Sen and Sensibility		23 Jul 2001	Daily Grist
Sen and Sensibility Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has thrown his weight behind legislation to protect the country's remaining forests. The measure would set stricter logging regulations and allow courts to jail illegal loggers for up to 10 years. Illegal logging operations have been common in the past, supported by the Cambodian military and former Khmer Rouge members. But Hun Sen has been on the hot seat to rein in the logging, becaus ...

The Owl and the Pussycat		20 Jul 2001	Daily Grist
The Owl and the Pussycat A single spotted owl roosting in an old-growth tree in British Columbia won a reprieve yesterday when a British Columbia Supreme Court judge overturned permits given to the Cattermole Timber company to log the area where the tree stands. Enviros believe the province's forestry ministry gave short shrift to a warning from the environment ministry that the area is owl habitat. Their c ...

On the Roadless Again Have the Bushies done enviros a favor?	Jon Margolis, Writers on the Range	18 May 2001	Soapbox
Remember that old line that tells you to beware of getting what you wished for? The Bush administration and the timber industry may be on the verge of providing another illustration. Even with a federal judge on their side. The roadless travails. Photo: U.S. Forest Service.

Anti-Environmentalism As a Way of Life Dubya's pro-industry policies aren't only about the money	Jon Margolis, Writers on the Range	21 Feb 2001	Soapbox
Consider the rules. No, not the rules of love, but the rules of government -- specifically those rules of the previous administration suspended for 60 days on the first day of the present administration under an order issued by President George W. Bush's chief of staff, Andrew Card. Rules of the game. No big deal. Such an order is routine whenever a p ...

Forest Fire Did the prez sign off on Dombeck's order to bar old-growth logging?	Ben White	16 Jan 2001	Muckraker
We hear that when U.S. Forest Service Chief Mike Dombeck issued (or at least appeared to issue) a new policy last week barring the cutting of old-growth timber on national forest lands he did not exactly have the green light from President Clinton. We like Mike. In fact, according to our sources, the president-for-the-next-few-days and his senior staff hit the roof when news of Dombeck's orde ...

Tread-milling About Why do we compete even though we know it hurts us?	Donella H. Meadows	11 Sep 2000	Global Citizen
Not beary funny. Photo: Art Wolfe, Inc. I've heard the joke about the bear before, and so, probably, have you. Two guys are sitting outside their tent in a forest campsite when they see a huge angry bear charging toward them. One starts lacing up his running shoes. The other says, "Are you crazy? You'll never outrun that bear!" The first says, "I don't have to outrun the bear. ...

One for the Roadless How we could save both forests and jobs	Mark Matthews, Writers on the Range	30 Jun 2000	Soapbox
The "roadless" road show swept the nation last week as U.S. Forest Service officials collected public comment on President Clinton's initiative to prohibit road building in national forests where no roads now exist. What's missing from this picture? Photo: U.S. Forest Service. The policy would affect 43 million acres across the country, including about 5.8 million acres in Mo ...

On With the No-Show	Ben White	31 Jan 2000	Muckraker
Arizona Sen. John McCain (R) may have said it best at a rally Sunday afternoon in the postcard-perfect New Hampshire town of Peterborough. Asked what he planned to do to improve the environment, McCain mused briefly about convening a panel of scientists to figure out once and for all whether global warming exists, and then he said, "You know, I think that might be one of the most important, and under-discussed, issues of this campaign." ...

The Deep Six	Donella H. Meadows	12 Oct 1999	Global Citizen
Months ago, the United Nations decided to make an event out of the fact that the human population meter would soon click over another billion. They picked an arbitrary date -- October 12 -- and declared it the Day of 6 Billion. What kind of event should this be? A day of repentance? A celebration? In a world of soundbites, what's the right tone here? Six billion, oh woe? Six billion, yippee? Six billion. But who's counting? My guess is that " ...

The recent high-profile deal to keep chainsaws out of the Headwaters grove of ancient redwood trees near Eureka, Calif., is unlikely to bring about a truce in the raging war over old-growth forest in the Pacific Northwest and northern California. Environmentalists continue to dig in their heels and repudiate all compromise (more than 90 percent of U.S ...
