    Cool Green Morning: Friday, November 20

    This really should have been last week’s (Friday the 13th’s) Cool Green Morning — filled with The Worst Nightmares of whales, wasteful companies, and people who like to paint their cars a lot. (Are they going to take car painting away from us, too?) Prepare yourself — real scary stuff in today’s best green news [...]

    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 [...]

    Cool Green Morning: Tuesday, November 17

    Rish and shine! There’s a cool green morning out there, waiting to greet you with some oh-so-refreshing news: marine sponges are important, the Dutch want to tax drivers and there could be a rot-free apple in your future.

    The Daily Green asks, Is everything you know about being green wrong? Here’s the scoop: it’s not about what car you [...]

    How to Achieve a Global Climate Change Agreement

    What will a successful global climate change agreement look like? That question is only more important to ask in the wake of this weekend’s agreement by President Obama to a plan that will ask world leaders to reach a political agreement at this December’s UN climate talks in Copenhagen, ahead of a more binding agreement [...]

    Cool Green Morning: Monday, November 16

    Good news about cow poop. Good news (?) about Copenhagen. Good news for those of you who’ve always dreamed of a dress made of LED lights. Happiness is the smell of a new Cool Green Morning, to paraphrase Don Draper…

    The rehabilitation of poop continues: The Netherlands has opened its second cow-dung power plant, reports CleanTechnica [...]

    Cool Green Morning: Friday, November 13

    Feeling unlucky this Friday the 13th? Fortify yourself with the latest in green news — recycled diapers, undersea gliders, a historic comeback and a new way to shut up those global warming skeptics close to you (speaking of superstitious…)

    So you’re at a family gathering, arguing with Uncle Climate Denier over the reality of climate change [...]

    Conservation Planning for Extreme Events?

    What am I trying to illustrate in the above photo (a picture of cattle and elephant dung)? That conservation planning is a pile of poop?
    No. But this mixture of excrement does show why such planning needs to incorporate extreme events like drought or flooding – especially for the impacts of those events on local people.
    In [...]

    Follow Nathan: Recap of a Remarkable Journey

    In August, we blogged here on the extraordinary cross-country bike journey of Nathan Winters (AKA, “Follow Nathan”) to raise money for The Nature Conservancy and raise awareness for climate change and sustainable agriculture. At that point, Nathan had just crossed the Wisconsin-Minnesota border, halfway through his journey from Maine to Washington State — a trek [...]

    Cool Green Morning: Wednesday, November 11

    Happy Veterans’ Day, readers! Thank a solider for his or her service, give ‘em a hug, and then dive into today’s roundup of the best green news on the interwebs:

    The Daily Green weighs in on the “real vs. artificial” Christmas tree debate. Is it really that time of the year already?
    There’s a [...]
