It’s not an all or nothing proposition for each individual. It’s simply about doing the best you can in any given day. What I’m doing today is spreading the word for Blog Action Day 2009: Climate Change. As Monika Baurlein states today in MotherJones.com, “Fix the Climate or the Kid Gets It.” (Clever title!) We need to convince “Americans that something we care about is actually at risk here. And of course something is is. Climate change poses the greatest danger not to polar bears, not to glaciers or beaches, but to our kids.” So what’s a busy person to do? Here are some ideas that are easy: 10 Simple Ways to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint and Save the Earth for Your ...

It’s called A2A – Algonquin to Adirondacks Conservation Association.

Is climate change happening? The USGCRP scientists report that climate change is already occurring in a measurable way, and those changes are primarily caused by human activity. They were very clear and direct about that. During the past 50 years, average U.S. temperatures have risen by 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit. This change is due to human activity, most notably from the rise in greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. During the 50-year period before that, there was no net change in average temps. This recent increase isn’t due to natural fluctuations — the scientists were able to rule that out as...

This Briefing sets out the key points of the new legislation and other initiatives that are helping the NHS to do its bit on climate change. It identifies: New legislation establishes a long-term legal framework for tackling climate change, including greenhouse gas emissions targets and a new structure for reporting to Parliament on progress. Saving carbon, improving health sets a pledge for the NHS to become one of the leading sustainable and low carbon organisations and shows why the NHS should aim to reduce carbon emissions by at...

I recently came across an excellent new book, titled The Daily Trading Coach: 101 Lessons for Becoming Your Own Trading Psychologist, by trading performance expert Dr. Brett Steenbarger, which explicitly calls for addressing the "mental autopilot" problem in his Lesson 4. Even for those of us who are not traders, Dr. Steenbarger advice provides excellent guidance for peak cognitive performance. Dr. Steenbarger graciously gave us permission to share with you, below, Lesson 4: Change Your Environment, Change Yourself. Enjoy!). Human beings adapt to their environments.

The idea is discussed in detail in the January issue of the International Journal of Global Environmental Issues and was reported widely in the press and across the blogosphere over the holiday period. Is it so much science fantasy or might it actually work? Engineers Takayuki Toyama of company Avix, Inc., in Kanagawa, Japan, and Alan Stainer of Middlesex University Business School, London, UK, suggest that there is too much pessimism around concerning our ability to realistically reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide levels so other measures may ...

The theme chosen by the World Health Organization for World Health Day 2008 is Protecting Health from Climate Change, and LLL and WABA put together a statement showing how breastfeeding protects both health and the environment. In particular, the statement notes how: ~ Unlike formula-feeding, breastfeeding requires no manufacturing plants ~ No packaging for breast milk is needed ~ Both corn- and soy-based formulas require heavy use of farmland for feeding, grazing and harvesting ~ The livestock sector generates significant greenhouse gas emissions and is a major source of land and water degradation...
