In Other Words ...	Donella H. Meadows	20 Dec 1999	Global Citizen
A while ago I wrote a column full of solemn statements from august scientists and other wise persons, warning that we are trashing our planet at a sickening pace. The august persons didn't say "trashing" or "sickening." They spoke of "adverse consequences" and "significant geopolitical risk." An Alert Reader (to steal a phrase from Dave Barry), a retired professor of French named Chuck Ferguson, who s ...

Fairway to Heaven A gardening guru gives new meaning to a golfing green	Lisa Jones	07 Dec 1999	Main Dish
In a world beset with environmental and economic horrors, a golf course is a disturbing sight. Okay, it's not as disturbing as an oil slick on Prince William Sound, or the Cuyahoga River bursting into flames, or the coral reefs off Sri Lanka bleaching and dying. Evil green monster (a traditional golf course). But the proliferation of golf courses is symptomatic of the suburbanization of once-rural p ...

Not the Only Fish in the Sea Are efforts to protect the dolphin putting other fish in a sea of trouble?	Rick Gaffney	28 Oct 1999	Main Dish
There were predictable cries of protest from some conservationists who focus on charismatic megafauna when revised standards for use of the "dolphin safe" tuna label were announced by the Commerce Department in April. Though the new rules stipulate that no dolphins should be killed or seriously injured, they do let canners label their product "dolphin ...

As the week draws to a close and I prepare for my next trip (to Berlin, Sassenberg, and Utrecht), I look back on the past few days and hope that I have given you a good picture of what life is like as a circuit rider. Remember, of course, that there are many modes for circuit riding, but w ...

Today I will write about Haida Gwaii, after yesterday's photo teaser. First, what is it? The islands now popularly called Haida Gwaii (the traditional name given them by the Haida people) have long been shown on maps as the Queen Charlotte Islands. They form an arrowhead-shaped landmass ...

Today's inbox is not so bad. Only 23 email messages came in overnight. Mostly junk, a few important things from the west coast, and some messages from people working at home at night. A photo from a recent business trip to the Haida Gwaii islands off the northwest coast of British Colu ...

People laugh when I tell them my job title is "circuit rider." It sounds funny, but I love it. How many people have a job title that is a pun, much less a job that requires the holder to have technical skills, an interest in promoting the health of our planet, and a willingness ...

Sin County Almanac Sex sells, but can it save the planet?	Erik Ness	30 Sep 1999	Main Dish
Dr. Susan M. Block is not your typical crusader for endangered species. Sure, peace signs dangle from her ears -- perhaps a little large, but not completely outrageous. Her voice carries conviction and bespeaks a clear intelligence -- Yale, magna cum laude. A doctorate, too, in philosophy. Then she fled academia to build her own thriving multimedia enterprise: books, radio and TV shows, videos, websites, a gall ...

Come on, Rudy, Sign the Local Motion	Ben White	27 Sep 1999	Muckraker
Instant correction: Those of you who perused Muckraker early this morning or over the weekend may have read that New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) was prepared to sign a major letter from mayors and other local officials calling for the federal government to do more to combat global warming. Not so keen to be green? Well, forget it. After appearing ready to sign on the dotted line, thanks to some arm twisting from Chicago Mayor Ri ...

Bee All That You Can Be This scientist is making quite a buzz	Lisa Jones	23 Sep 1999	Main Dish
The San Rafael Desert -- 500 square miles of rolling gravel broken by an occasional butte or sandstone formation -- certainly isn't the prettiest place in eastern Utah. Dotted with cattle and exploratory oil rigs, it is a living example of the federal government's policy of multiple use on public lands. For just about anybody driving along its western edge, the desert is an unremarkable preamble to the celebr ...

A Monarch's Ransom Don't let a chance to save the butterfly flutter by	Gary Paul Nabhan, Writers on the Range	10 Sep 1999	Main Dish
A couple of weeks ago, while the federal government was removing peregrine falcons from the list of endangered species, I was out watching the first monarch butterflies migrate through the desert on their way to Mexico. I saw both the migratory monarchs and their homebody cousins, the butterflies known as Queens, hovering around the lovely flowers of a milkweed native to W ...

Chaco and the Man Canyonland crusader plays Mother Goose	Lisa Jones	26 May 1999	Main Dish
Skip Edwards is in his yard in rural Crawford, Colo., doing one of his favorite things: crawling behind Chaco, the goose he lives with. This is pretty much his job these days. She waddles. He crawls. He wants to learn her habits from the ground up. Skip and Chaco -- or is it Chaco and Skip? When Edwards, a lifelong outdoorsman and recently celebrated environmental activist, drives off from the house, Chaco fl ...

The Other Migrant Workers Pollinators making a run for the border	Gary Paul Nabhan, Writers on the Range	24 May 1999	Main Dish
When most of us hear of undocumented border crossings between Mexico and the western United States, we immediately think of devastating social problems: refugees fleeing poverty and political oppression, or drug runners laundering money and offering controlled substances to our children. I think that I shall never see, a poem lovely as a bee. And yet, there is another kind of t ...

The New Wolves by Rick Bass Lyons Press, 1998, 184 pages In The New Wolves: The Return of the Mexican Wolf to the American Southwest, Rick Bass ambles pensively and passionately through the controversial ground in Arizona's Blue Mountains where Mexican wolves are being reintroduced. He walks alongside a host of folks with divergent perspectives on the reintroduction effort: unflappable f ...

Riders on the Storm	Ben White	12 May 1999	Muckraker
No one in her or his right mind thinks the 106th Congress is going to pass a whole lot of actual free-standing legislation. It will likely take every ounce of strength this feeble Congress can muster to pass the essential spending bills that fund the government. So riders, those pesky little items that hope to escape scrutiny by hitching a ride on big money bills, are the name of the game, as noted in last week's Muckraker. The current vehicle for ...
