HR: I think that's a false perception of the possibilities. The oil that's harvested from the palm plantations in Indonesians used to make biodiesel. There's this tremendous clear-cutting and dispossession of indigenous communities. It's not like, if this doesn't work, then nothing will work, so it's better than doing nothing. There's a whole range of things we can be doing to cut our CO2 emissions, which is really what biodiesel is all about. So, any conservation we do, and shifting to mass transit," getting people out of their cars and onto electric trains and high-speed rail will put a huge dent in our CO2 emissions. There are many, many other options, but too often politicians and the media don't talk about them. HR: Sure, it is. But it's important for people to keep in mind that, w...
The irresponsible proposal from the legislature's Republicans to suspend the state gasoline tax for three months this summer is probably the worst bit of political pandering to emerge from this legislative session. Although spending more than $50 to fill up a gas tank hurts, any short-term relief provided by the tax's suspension will be followed by long-term pain.
The presenters talked about the "Natural Step," a Swedish system for reducing dependence on nonrenewable resources, synthetic chemicals and other substances nature can't break down, along with activities that ecosystems. "The Natural Step can be applied to mass transit, buying local, renewable energy, green building, soil conservation, reducing waste, a whole host of human activities, because virtually everything we do can be done in a more eco-friendly way," Johnson said.

Although President Bush said he hadn't heard the speculation, oil industry analysts are predicting the price of gasoline may reach $4 a gallon by summer. At the end of 2006, when the average price nationally of regular gasoline had already climbed to $2.34, the thought of $4 gasoline seemed farfetched. Now, with gasoline well over $3 a gallon, the reality of $4-a-gallon gasoline seems quite plausible. On Thursday, the price of oil hit $105.97 a barrel -- a record, adjusted for inflation. For advocates of mass transportation and energy conservation, the rise in gasoline prices is good news. Americans didn't blink when gasoline passed $3 a gallon. The economy was still strong and the cost was absorbed. With the economy less certain, people are driving less, taking the train, car pooling a...

(The riders specify the steps that a venue must take to be green enough to satisfy the band, much like the infamous riders of picky celebrities that specify the degree of their bathwater.) Johnson wanted to "clean up" his act, and offered to fund a nonprofit program that would be a one-stop shop to help bands "green" their tours. Tony Massaro, senior vice president for public affairs and public education at the League of Conservation Voters, advises campaigns to set up near mass transit and offer bike racks and carpooling options.
Recent findings of tree-destroying pests in Worcester, Mass., and Toronto, Canada, have prompted the Maine Department of Conservation to intensify its efforts to discourage out-of-state campers from transporting firewood to Maine - and to quickly burn what they do bring in. As one component of the effort, campers visiting Baxter State Park and the North Woods this summer are being stopped by Maine Forest Service staff and asked to burn any non-local firewood they may be carrying within 24 hours.
WESTMONT, Ill., Jan. 24 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Need to understand what it takes to prevent or reverse chronic health problems and why exercise is necessary for life? The recently released book, "Reverse Type 2 Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease" by Nsima T. Obot addresses these issues and more, as the author establishes that metabolic imbalance causes type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, obesity, and many of the dozens of health problems associated with aging. The scientific basis for metabolic imbalance, a simple physical law known as the conservation of mass, asserts that a steady, natural engine such as the body should not store or accumulate mass. Metabolic imbalance is due to three factors: the existence of a natural limitation on how much mass (food and drink) each person's body c...
LEWISTON - Lessons from another riverfront mill town will be the focus of the annual meeting of the Androscoggin Land Trust, which has been rescheduled to Feb. 5 at Museum L-A. The work of the Lowell, Mass., Parks and Conservation Trust will be discussed at the meeting, which was canceled in December due to inclement weather. Jane Calvin, executive director of trust, will speak on the work of that organization and the benefits of urban land protection, in particular its Concord River Greenway Project and the partnerships that have evolved.
