Audiocast: Our Human Footprint
April 10, 2008 at 3:00 pm by Chris| One of today's On Point programs was titled Our Human Footprint. It was definitely worth listening to, as it included guests Elizabeth Vargas, co-anchor of ABC News "20/20" and host of the National Geographic Special "Human Footprint," Dr. Eric Sanderson, associate director of the Living Landscapes Program of the Wildlife Conservation Society and co-creator of the Human Footprint Map, and Colin Beavan, also known as blogger "No Impact Man," he and his family conducted an experiment and tried for one year to leave no carbon footprint on the planet. Update: 04/11/2008: Here's another good blog on environmental issues: DotEarth, from the New York Times. |

Green Consumer Technology
December 11, 2007 at 7:45 am by Chris
As Al Gore has predicted, the market will probably drive much of our progress toward more sustainable and 'green' technology. I noticed this gadget, the Solio 1000, yesterday, which is one of the first consumer-level solar devices out. Hopefully progress will be made quickly, though many of the improvements will need to be made in less visible ways, like more efficient management of energy in homes and businesses, use of recycled materials in more products, more widespread and efficient recycling and disposal centers, etc. |
