    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 6

    U.S. fish stocks defecting to Canada? We can just see it now on Lou Dobbs Tonight…but remember where you heard it first — Cool, Green, Morning. Have a great weekend!

    Seems fishy, but overall U.S. water consumption has declined in the past 25 years — despite a growing population and increasing water use. Huh? Tina Casey [...]

    What Do the Olympics Mean for Rio’s Environment?

    Naturally we in the Cidade Maravilhosa are delighted to have beaten out the Windy City and snatched the 2016 Olympics from under the nose of the not-quite-glamorous-enough First Couple of the United States: even Obama can’t compete with Copacabana when it comes to wowing Olympic committees.
    But now that the cheering has died down along with [...]

    Cool Green Morning: Tuesday, November 3

    It’s Election Day in the United States — get out and vote! Then immediately get back on your smartphone and check out the hottest in online green this morning — including what might possibly be the best green name ever…

    Mt. Kilimanjaro’s ice cap is disappearing — but is that climate change’s fault? Two research teams [...]

    Great Nature Photos: The Conservancy’s Williamson River Delta Preserve

    [Click the individual images to see them at full size, or click the "View With PicLens" link to see a slideshow.]
    Volunteer photographer Rick McEwan just finished an assignment for The Nature Conservancy, shooting wetland restoration work in the Conservancy’s Williamson River Delta Preserve in Oregon. It’s a place he just can’t bring himself to leave.
    Sure: [...]

    Cool Green Morning: Friday, October 16

    Phew, that was a furious Blog Action Day ‘09 yesterday — with more than 13,000 blogs posting 27,000 blog posts in 24 hours on climate change in 155 countries to almost 18 million readers. (The Nature Conservancy and Cool Green Science were thrilled to be partners in the effort.) But the sun has risen again [...]

    Fish and People on the Edge: Why the Zambezi River Looks OK, But Isn’t

    How do you convince people that a river they’ve known their whole lives is not the river it once was…or could be?
    That turned out to be my challenge last week, when I traveled to Zambia in support of The Nature Conservancy’s new project to restore the Zambezi River.  After several days of meetings with our [...]

    Cool Green Morning: Thursday, October 1

    It’s the first of the month, time for a fresh start — like iPhone apps that track climate change, a replacement for coal and dam removal on the Klamath (did you ever think you’d see the day?!). Of course, there’s also disappearing species (the Chinese paddlefish)… well, 4 out of 5 ain’t bad. Read on for today’s [...]

    Cool Green Morning: Tuesday, September 29

    It’s a doozy of a morning here at Cool Green Morning — we’ve got overpopulation vs. overconsumption, tropical rainforests, green brands and more. It’s all in a day’s news.

    The U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s opposition to climate change has cost it another member – power company Exelon is the third major utility to pull out of the chamber [...]

    Wisdom from the Mouths of Babes: Feeling Better through Conservation

    I was tucking my five-year-old daughter into bed and, as kids tend to do, she launched into a series of questions  — part curiosity, part stalling tactic. Her topic that night was employment, and she asked why various people did what they did, such as: “Why is Aunt Amy a doctor?”
    I mustered a response and [...]
