Review of Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming
Drawdown was a major collaborative effort involving 70 research fellows from 40 countries. It’s not so much a cohesive plan as a list of partial solutions: 80 that are tested and in use at least somewhere in the world, and another 20 that are speculative. More

Need Clean Water? Vote! #changethecurrent
FB-CoverPhoto41 West Virginia’s major water sources, like the Kanawha River, have had the highest rate of reproductive toxins that can lead to birth defects and reproductive disorders in the country. That’s just one reason why OVEC has partnered with WV FREE and other groups for the #changethecurrent campaign. Without adequate safe water regulations and requirements, West Virginia’s most valuable resource – families and children – are at risk of exposure. More

Morality, Budgets and Energy Efficiency
A budget is a "moral document," according to workshop discussions I recently attended as part of my work as Appalachian Transition Fellowship with the Highlander Research and Education Center. That is to say, where and how we spend our money is a primary expression of our priorities. It's a thought I agree with, at least for regular folks and non-profit groups, but there's more to it than that. More
