one small step for the earth

Get your TerraPass!

I discovered a link to this website while reading an article about global warming. TerraPass is a program that provides a way to offset the global warming impact of your vehicle’s CO2 emissions by investing in clean energy projects that reduce industrial carbon emissions. They call it cleaning up after your car.

I bought my TerraPass. Visit the TerraPass website and clean up after your car!

(And read a May 3 article by Andrew Revkin of the New York Times: Federal Study Finds Accord on Warming.)

wackos?

Posted on January 26, 2006 | Filed Under the natural world 

Environmentalists are just a bunch of wackos …

They believe that every human being is entitled to breathe clean air and to drink clean water.
They believe that a healthy planet is essential to the welfare of all living things, including human beings.
They believe in leaving the world a better place for future generations.
They believe in the virtue of making small sacrifices now to preserve the bounty of the earth’s resources for later.
They want their children and their children’s children and their children’s children’s children to experience the same awe and wonder they experience in encountering the astounding variety and complexity and …

arctic national wildlife refuge saved!

Bloomberg.com: Update

Hurrah! Good sense and fairness (and, I hope, a genuine appreciation for the value of wilderness) have prevailed. For twenty-five years, we have said, “No,” to drilling in the refuge. I hope the day will finally come when “No” means “No” and the refuge will be left alone.

Read the article posted by Matthew Gilbert, a Gwich’in himself. (NRDC Action Fund Blog: Why is drilling the Arctic Refuge wrong?) Here’s an excerpt:

The fact that it’s even a question whether we should drill in a pristine place like the refuge, the breeding grounds of Polar Bears, Porcupine Caribou Herd, and many bird species, is an ethical travesty of our time …

The Arctic Refuge should not only be protected for its natural value, but also for its value to the Gwich’in. The Porcupine Caribou Herd calves in the Arctic Refuge and is very sensitive to humans. Establishing oil rigs, …

on the water

Posted on July 14, 2005 | Filed Under the natural world 

I am not quite amphibious … but I do love the water. I love being in the water and on the water, watching the water move, listening to the water. Many of my most memorable life experiences have been associated with bodies of water — Huron, Superior, Prentiss Bay, Dog Lake, Dead River, Kennebec River, Big Sandy River, Cascapedia River, St. John River, Beck’s Pond, Bear Creek.

Water is essential to life, certainly in a physical sense, but — at least for me — also in a spiritual sense. Water refreshes, revives, soothes, excites. Water engulfs, uplifts, expands the mind, …
