The Cove exposes the slaughter of more than 20,000 dolphins and porpoises off the coast of Japan every year, and how their meat, containing toxic levels of mercury, is sold as food in Japan and other parts of Asia, often labeled as whale meat. The majority of the world is not aware this is happening.This page tells of how we can each help in the campaign to raise awareness and stop the slaughter.

Which has the lower carbon footprint - our life in the New Jersey suburbs or our life in a cabin in the woods of Maine? We recently hit the halfway mark for our year in the woods, so I now have enough data to answer the question.

Loyola University of Chicago has developed a really cool process to help cut down on eutrophication and the use of water. It involves the use of fish, which supply nutrients to plants in the form of their waste. The plants clean the water for the fish while getting nutrients at the same time.

An old coal power plant in Salem, Mass. is scheduled to be replaced by a newer, smaller, 'greener' natural gas plant. Environmental advocates say that if we install this plant we will not meet our mandate for reducing carbon emissions, as set forth in the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2008 (the one that Dr. Cash worked on!!!). However, energy and power experts say that if this plant does not get built on schedule, Massachusetts will be in danger of blackouts and power shortages in 2016.

You guys may remember this guy, Enrique Peñalosa. He was the former mayor of Bogata, Colombia and was featured in the documentary we watched, "Urbanized" earlier this year. I thought this was an interesting topic on population and urbanization that also ties in very nicely with our energy unit!
