U.S. must address three overarching challenges:
We must reduce the world’s dependence on oil, helping to free consumers
from the economic, political, and environmental risks that it entails.
We must take steps to control the emissions from the burning of coal, oil,
and natural gas that are affecting the global climate.
And we must recognize that helping developing nations to grow can be both a
boost for them and in the best interest of the United States. Extending
access to modern energy services to poor people around the world can demonstrate
American leadership and create new markets at the same time.
From the
Executive summary of CHALLENGE AND OPPORTUNITY: A
report CHARTING A NEW ENERGY FUTURE issued June 18,2003 by The
Energy
Future Coalition
The Energy
Future Coalition is a broad-based, nonpartisan alliance that seeks to
bridge the differences among business, labor, and environmental groups and
identify energy policy options with broad political support. The coalition aims
to bring about changes in U.S. energy policy to address the economic, security
and environmental challenges related to the production and use of fossil fuels
with a compelling new vision of the economic opportunities that will be created
by the transition to a new energy economy.
America’s
oceans are in crisis and the stakes could not be higher. More than half the U.S.
population lives in coastal counties. The resident population in this area is
expected to increase by 25 million people by 2015. More than 180 million people
visit the shore for recreation every year.
Tens
of thousands of jobs in fishing, recreation, and tourism depend on
healthy, functioning coastal ecosystems. Now, thousands of jobs
and billions of dollars of investment have either been lost or are
jeopardized by collapsing fisheries. Pollution and sprawl threaten
ocean-related tourism and recreation, far and away the largest
component of the coastal economy. From

What does
"organic" mean?
On October 21, 2002 new standards were set by the Department of
Agriculture on "organic foods" to help consumers
determine what does and doesn't fall into the catagory. But in typical
governmental fashion, the
regulations have driven some organic farmers, many smaller ones, out
of business. Click the logo to

Perhaps
because New England is a small place-we don't have room to throw things out-or because our lives are tied so closely to the
land, rivers, lakes and ocean, the modern environmental movement
received much of its initial start in New England.
We've a
long way to go but we should also be proud of what has been
accomplished by those who came before and the many who are working now.

Sanctuary Foundation
Each fall, eastern North American monarch butterflies migrate
up to 2,000 miles to high-altitude Oyamel fir forests in central
Mexico. There, over 100 million monarchs over winter,
awaiting the spring arrival of milkweed in North America, the
only source of food for their offspring. The unique ecosystem
of the Oyamel fir forests is key to the monarchs’ winter
survival, yet these forests are threatened by wood harvesting
and other human pressures.

Energy.
To
quote the department,
"The
purpose of the Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project is
to determine if Yucca Mountain, Nevada, is a suitable site for
a spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste
repository. These materials are a result of nuclear
power generation and national defense programs and will remain
highly radioactive for thousands of years."
The EPA issued
a report
called the Climate Action Report 2002
that accepts, with some reservations, the likely
impact on the United States from global
warming. Among its conclusions are the permanent
loss of wetlands, increased costal erosion and diminished
snowfall in northern
regions. It is important reading,
especially for New England.

Cape Wind Associates is
company in South Yarmouth that has proposed to build a off shore,
electric energy generation system-a wind park-five miles off the
coast of Cape Cod. The project, to be completed in 2005, will
generate clean, electric power from 170 wind turbines, spread over five
miles of wind-swept sea. When operational, the system will
generate enough to power a half million Massachusetts homes
and businesses. The concept is not without detractors but the
people behind the project have 27 years of experience in the
field at numerous locations in this country and in
Europe. Understandably, the site is not
"objective" on the proposal but it does make a persuasive
case with amble technical, environmental and engineering
presentations. Attractively designed and
presented, the site also provides an online message form that
supporters in Massachusetts can use to contact legislative officials.
New

enter the farm and there are things to do and learn throughout the
year, all in keeping with the tree cycle. Visitors can
take a hike on educational trails, explore demonstration woodlots and select
the " perfect" holiday tree from the
thousands available.
They run tree recycling programs with
schools and visitors can cut their own Rocks Balsam tree during the
season or have one shipped for $35, plus shipping.
New

Rhode
Island
Started more than a
decade ago, East
Coast Greenway Alliance-headquartered
in
Wakefield, Rhode Island-is working to build a "traffic
free" trail from Florida to Maine that will connect great cities,
small town and open spaces for 2,600 miles. Each section of the
Greenway will be easily identified by signs and guide markers to help
the locals discover their community and the more adventurous find out
just what is over the next hill. It will be a corridor for
walkers, hikers, nature lovers, cyclists and just regular people
wanting to go quietly from A to B by something other that a motorized
contraption. As envisions now, and they are making great
progress, over 80 percent of the trail will "off road"
although parts will dissect major urban areas. Someday in
the not too distant future, we'll be able to take a hike from Maine
and, if we're so inclined, put our toes the Florida's warm sand.
All without one revering up the car. The site offers a wealth of
information on the project, its history and opportunities to help it
happen.
The
Greenways Alliance of Rhode Island
is the Rhode Island Affiliate of the East Coast Greenway Alliance.
While the state in the nation's smallest, once its Greenway is
completed Rhode Island will contribute more than fifty miles to the

also suggest what to look for in purchasing cleaning products to help
insure that homes, and the people who live in them, stay healthy.
Green Mountain Club
is headquartered in Waterbury Center,
Vermont but more precisely its over 7,000 members are focused
on maintaining and preserving the state's 270 mile wilderness
footpath called the Long Trail. They are justifiably
proud to note that the trail-they started building it in
1910-is the oldest long distance trail in the nation.
Running the length of Vermont, hikers have explored the entire
trail in less than a month, some using the primitive shelters maintained
by the club while most others use sections for a day trip or a
weekend.
They
also serve as advocates for Vermont's great outdoors with
educational programs and proactive efforts that has helped to
protect more that 16,000 "back country" acres of the
Green Mountain State.
The
