http://envcenter.blogspot.com/2009/10/water-water-everywhere-but-not-drop-to.html
Fort Lewis College Environmental Center, Durango, CO. Friday, October 9, 2009. Water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink. Water is always a big topic in the west. Water is required for life. Without it our crops die, our cities dry up, and eventually we would die. According to a Durango Herald editorial. Colorado’s Front Range is seeking new sources of water to fuel their population. Where do you think they’re looking? Is the Western Slope that wet? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Regional Roundup: September 2008

Fort Lewis College Environmental Center, Durango, CO. Thursday, September 25, 2008. Wither the Global Economy. The financial crisis that's dominated the news this week and the conflicting prescriptions for how to deal with it make one thing clear. No one knows how the global economy works anymore. Sure, some people have some ideas. But no one really knows exactly what to do. The most straightforward explanation of what's going on that I've read comes from Paul Krugman. At the New York Times. And click on...

Fort Lewis College Environmental Center, Durango, CO. Wednesday, February 25, 2009. Great Government Goes Green. Around the country it seems to me as if the government, both on the national and state levels is trying to become green. It is great that the government is getting involved so we can try to save the planet from ourselves. Here are some regional and national examples of the government involvement that is beginning to go into effect. The Salt Lake Tribune. The Telluride Daily Planet. Now that th...

Fort Lewis College Environmental Center, Durango, CO. Monday, September 21, 2009. Energy in the West. While it may not be green or (entirely) renewable energy, nuclear power has been a potential contender for energy usage within the United States. In Montrose county, for example, there has been heated debate as to whether a new uranium mill should be built. Telluride News. Now on the other side of things: putting resources into the ground.

Fort Lewis College Environmental Center, Durango, CO. Friday, March 7, 2008. First entry for the EC's blog from the EC Coordinator's Desk. Leading up to our Youth-Powered Earth Week Celebration, we decided to feature the topic of youth empowerment. Here's a question for those interested in such matters.Should environmental education for youth focus on teaching appreciation and love of the natural world or focus on changing the world by passing on concrete, community problem-solving skills? I've worked in...

Regional Roundup: October 2008

Fort Lewis College Environmental Center, Durango, CO. Tuesday, October 21, 2008. In the spring of 2004, I had the privilege of spending 2 1/2 weeks in South Africa and Bostwana scouting study abroad programs for the college I was working for at the time. It's difficult to visit South Africa and not come away hopeful about the capacity of human beings, both as individuals and as a species, to turn a corner. There is a story in today's Los Angeles Times. Wednesday, October 8, 2008. Time for Direct Action?

Regional Roundup: November 2008
http://envcenter.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Fort Lewis College Environmental Center, Durango, CO. Sunday, November 16, 2008. In this Sunday's New York Times showcases the perspective of Exxon Mobil, the largest company in the world. If Wal-Mart is the greatest elaboration of the low-cost, low-price model for retailing, Exxon Mobil seems to be the epitome of a closed-loop corporate culture literally strapped to an economic IV of fossil fuels.

Fort Lewis College Environmental Center, Durango, CO. Tuesday, March 10, 2009. Purely a Matter of Equality. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is not as accepting to these sorts of proposals. There are only two states, Massachusetts and Connecticut, which have allowed same sex marriage in the courts. Many states have had a back-and-forth verdict about whether same sex couples should have the same rights as heterosexual couples. The New York Times. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
