Cool Green Morning: Thursday, November 19
Too bad that feeling guilty isn’t enough to reduce carbon emissions. But we’re excited that California passed efficiency standards to cut television electricity use in half by 2013. And how about the recovery of a rare giraffe species in Africa? Not bad news for a cool green morning.
There’ll be no more energy-sucking televisions in the state where TV was born, now that [...]

If it’s cool and green, we’ve got it this morning. Open your eyes and read on for the latest news about hybrids hitting pedestrians, tuna fishing killing albatross and the local benefits of nature tourism.

Why ‘Green’ Isn’t Working: How Do We Reach the Other Half?
A few weeks ago I attended a “Green Festival” in Washington, D.C., tagged as the world’s largest environmental expo. As I walked around, I kept thinking about who this festival was really meant for. Everyone in attendance chose to go to (and pay to get in) this event. These are people who are already [...]

Halloween is hurtling at us like a thrown pumpkin…but there’s still time to duck and get the latest green news of the day…including how urine could hold the key to cheap auto fuel. (Remember: Practice safe gourd smashing this holiday.)

From China: Entrepreneurs, Conservation and the Future of the World
Editor’s note: Charles Bedford, the state director for The Nature Conservancy in Colorado, is living and working in China for the next year and will be writing about conservation issues there. Read all his posts.
Who’s going to lead the way for conservation in China? Local grass-roots groups? International NGOs? The government?
Here’s another thought: What about [...]

Green Travel: A Trip to the Greenest City in America
As hard as “living green” can be at home, it’s even harder on vacation. All the miles driven or flown, all the eating out…all the things you just can’t control.
Luckily, I just took a trip to what could be considered the greenest city in America: Portland, Ore.
But how green was my vacation? And what were [...]
