Canada’s Destructive Tar Sands
Like any fossil fuel, tar sands oil destroys air, water, and land, as it is extracted and refined for use. Investors are now questioning dumping billions of dollars into tar sands "development." More

Climate Change and Our Oceans
When we talk about climate change, we often fail to recognize the role that our oceans play in the bio-chemical cycles of the planet. We know from biology class that the planet is made up of spheres. The lithosphere includes the planet’s surface from the mountain ranges to the valleys. The biosphere includes all […] More

Why We Cannot Recycle Our Way Out of the Plastic Mess
Unlike steel or aluminum, plastic cannot be recycled over and over again. Many plastic formulations can't be recycled even once. Much of the plastic packaging we encounter is unnecessary. More
