    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: 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 [...]

    Springsteen & the Conservation Ethic: ‘You Can’t Save Everybody, But You Gotta Try’

    I just started writing this blog on freshwater conservation, so I should be talking about river flows and floodplain fisheries and such. But last night I saw Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band perform in Cleveland and I can’t get it out of my head.
    In his words, Springsteen was continuing the “lifelong conversation” he [...]

    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 [...]

    The World’s Oldest National Park: Ghosts of Monks and Red Deer

    Bogdkhan Uul, just south of Ulanbator, Mongolia, is the oldest national park in the world. That’s right — it predates Yellowstone by over 100 years. Established by the Mongolian government in 1778, it was originally chartered by Ming Dynasty officials in the 1500s as an area to be kept off limits to extractive [...]

    Cool Green Morning: Tuesday, November 10

    Generally, giving struggling species a helping hand is considered a good thing — like saving the vaquita porpoise and anything cute and cuddly (read: koalas). But there’s hot debate over whether helping plants migrate as climate change transforms their habitat is positive or not. Read on for the latest on these cool green topics, and more.

    We’re [...]

    Nature Photo of the Week: White Sands National Monument

    No, this isn’t a very good photo, is it? That’s probably because it’s an insanely good photo! Take a deep breath…and fall into White Sands National Monument in New Mexico, courtesy of Lightchaser/Flicker and shared through The Nature Conservancy’s Flickr Group.
    Check out all The Nature Conservancy’s featured daily nature images, submitted to the Conservancy’s Flickr [...]
