Man-made Changes are Driving Amphibians to the Brink of Extinction
Back in 1995, a group of middle school children and their teacher made an odd discovery while on a field trip in rural Minnesota.

Winds of Change, Spring, 2019

For-Profit Pipelines, Landowners, and “Fair” Compensation
Landowners in the path of a pipeline can’t take it or leave it. Their private property is generating profits for people whose homes are far away from the incineration zone. Why shouldn’t the landowner whose property is taken at least participate in the profits? More

The Awful Marcellus Pipeline Mess: They are Here Already, With More Coming Soon
Enthusiasm wanes with time, as does profit. Investors move on and their gain can’t be tapped against the public loss and private loss, such as spoiled water wells and useless land.
