GOOD magazine publishes great content supporting and promoting social and environmental causes. In the Jan./Feb. 2009 publication of GOOD's magazine they offer a "state of the world" assessment of buying and selling, the environment, and media to name a few.
I aim to take some of the jumping-off points provided by the magazine as avenues to research, debate, discuss, and better understand the 'green' agenda in its many, many forms. Here is a quick list of the topics to come...
- Endangered animals: One of the three spheres commonly identified with environmental concerns (human health, planetary preservation, & animal life), endangered animals offer an interesting path and an earnest need.
- Worldchanging.com - Alex Steffens is author of the book and website. The book's title is "Worldchanging: A Users Guide for the 21st Century".
- The generation gap - the knowledge/thought gap - between the youthful environmentally aware and the oblivious, or unconcerned Congress people, Senators, etc.
- United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen (Cop15)
- Kyoto Protocol
- Green Hawks as conservative alternative-energy politicos
- The 11th Hour
- Electric Cars
- Alternative energy sources
- Clean energy processes and sources
- freecycle
- Toms shoes
- Van Jones & Tom Friedman
- America's Climate Security Act
- Obama's weekly addresses
This is a start. In addition to these things I plan to visit opportunities in consumption, energy efficiencies, life-style choices, waste reduction, disposal, local economies, recycling, reuse, DIY, and food choices.
