Environment In The News

Hello, SEACers!



I will be contributing to the blog on a weekly basis by linking you to notable environmental current events. Before we can make an impact in our communities in terms of aiding the environment, it is necessary to be knowledgeable about the state of the environment and its place in world affairs. I like to keep updated by reading the NY Times "Science" page and NPR's "Environment" page. Check out the following article to learn about our government's new guidelines for oil and gas operations in response to "The Spill."

Also, The Economist magazine's latest edition is devoted to a special report on forests. Below is a link to one of the featured articles. You can read a hard copy of the entire issue in the library!
