New England: The Rising Tide Of Climate Change

Many political activists are familiar with the expression, “A rising tide lifts all boats.” In most contexts, it has a positive meaning, but when we are talking about climate change, those rising tides can be devastating. Here in Massachusetts, rising tides aren’t lifting just boats, they also threaten to flood densely populated areas and erode …

Ohio Update: Green Cleaning In Schools

I used to think bleach was a clean smell, but now I understand that clean is when you smell nothing at all. Buying green certified cleaning chemicals for my own home is one way I protect my family. My son now spends close to seven hours a day in his Kindergarten classroom. So I began …

But when the Environmental Protection Agency rules shortly on whether to let the S.S. Badger car ferry continue dumping ash into Lake Michigan, it will be a milestone in …

The Chinese recently marked their New Year. 2013 is the year of the Snake. Residents of Beijing braved freezing temperatures to let off brightly colored fireworks, with clouds of smoke in the air…A plea by the government to set off fewer fireworks to help deal with Beijing's notorious air pollution seemed to fall on deaf …

Rethinking Cold Weather And Snow

Rethinking Cold Weather And Snow

This was written by Aaron Huertas for Climate Access: Cold weather poses special challenges to climate communicators. It’s laughably easy for climate contrarians to point to cold and snow in an attempt to dismiss climate science. Admittedly, when I put on snowboarding pants and a ski mask to bike to a job where I talk and write about …

Scents And Sensitivity

Before Heather Collins enrolled her 5-year-old daughter, Sophie, in ballet classes at the local recreation center in Boulder, Colorado, she went to the ballet studio to sniff around. Literally. That’s because Sophie is one of an estimated 2% to 11% of Americans with fragrance allergy. For some, the symptoms of a fragrance allergy involve skin …

Toxic School

Posted on February 26, 2013 by Danny Shanahan|Posted in: Cartoon, Clean Air Rules and Regulations, Indoor Air Pollution, schools|
Toxic School

We do not do enough to protect our children: unhealthy schools impose a grave injustice. States compel children to attend school; in fact, 98% of all school-age children attend schools—irrespective of conditions. Yet the environmental conditions of decayed facilities or facilities close to hazards can damage children’s health and ability to learn. At the same …

"Exxon Hates Your Children" And This Ad (video)

There are a plethora of ads put forth by oil companies to promote the "social good" they are doing. As a writer on environmental issues, I happen to be aware of the flip side of the story. So while British Petroleum pushes their “Voices from the Gulf” tourism travelogues about how great it is to …

3 Reasons Conservatives Support Solar

Climate change is our responsibility whether our ticket is red or blue. We are all responsible for children's health, regardless of our political persuasions. However, conservative news networks have come out against solar energy in the US. The issue of climate change has certainly amplified the line between the parties. As a conservative, I am …
