Back when I was a kid, Greenpeace meant something. They were on the front lines. They were doing good stuff. And now? They’re a freaking brand. This, from Unsuitablog: Some of Motivaction’s past clients include Coca Cola, Imperial Tobacco, Unilever, McDonald’s and Mercedes Benz. On top of that, why is an environmental campaigning group employing [...]

For the last week, a Great Blue Heron has been fishing on the shoreline at our Marina. And I am ridiculously happy about that. It’s been three years since we had one in residence here. On November 7 2007, due to a series of moves so stupid people are still figuring them out, the Cosco [...]

I adore Mark Morford, but I never thought I’d be quoting him on this blog. From his recent column in SFGate (emphasis mine): Wouldn’t it be horrible if all this stunning, insanely mounting, irrefutable evidence — death, floods, fires, heat waves, the worst this and the most violent that in 1,000 years — were some [...]

You gotta hand it to Baykeeper; they keep swinging. Notice how insanely long this is? That’s a lot of lawsuits in the last three years, and a whole lot, I mean OMG, a whole lot, of sewage in the Bay. Some of these I knew about, some I didn’t. They all add up to a [...]

I absolutely adore Nicholas Kristof. I’m still working my way through his book “Half the Sky”, and I read his column almost compulsively. He is a journalist of stature, in a world of mere reporters, and worthy of all the support the rest of us can throw at him. He’s taken on incredibly difficult assignments [...]

I still can’t talk about this. But here’s Sea Shepherd’s Steve Roest’s commentary on his recent flyover of the devastation.

What I love about this, and why I’m posting it here, is because Captain Moore is the person who discovered the garbage patches. But not really. I find it hard to believe that he’s the first person to cruise over that hunk of the sea. More likely, he’s just the first person to raise a [...]

HT to the fabulous Patrick Kearney, NASA’s Global Temperature Anomaly map for May 2010. Note… these are anomalies. “compared to average temperatures for the same time of year from 1951 to 1980.” This is not just “man, it’s hot today!” kinds of changes. This is a beautiful (if chilling) view of a planet that is [...]

I still can’t quite bring myself to blog about the oil spill. But I can show you this: From the Guardian.

This is weirdly beautiful and disturbingly wonderful. I salute the programmers who created it, while I deplore the actions that made it necessary. I haven’t honestly gotten calm enough to blog about the disaster in general. But for now, check this out: HT: gCaptain

This in from the Humane Society: Whales are running out of time. Their fate will be decided in just days. Watch Pierce Brosnan’s new ad, which urges the Obama Administration to save these animals from commercial whalers. Then please make a special donation to get it on the air in key markets in the United [...]

OK, this maddening little bit came to my inbox. Sounds dire, right? Volunteers needed to help stop the spread of invasive kelp The Asian kelp Undaria pinnatifida is an opportunistic, fast-growing invasive kelp that is spreading north along the coast of California. Uncontrolled, it can become a pest species, attaching to boats, moorings, docks, and [...]

Jeremy Jackson knocks it out of the park. I’m gonna have nightmares for a while. How will we respond to this? The thing we really need to fix, is ourselves. It’s about us and our greed and our need for growth and our inability to imagine a world different from the selfish world we live [...]

Wow. Just wow. This site rocks my world, and it should rock yours too. Risingsea.net is absolutely amazing. In the last few years, Americans have come to recognize that humanity is changing the earth’s atmosphere in ways that we will not be able to reverse over the next century. Some say we should immediately reduce [...]
