This is a really good documentary about a great conservationist. The movie tells a lot about what Leopold did and what we can do today!

Thanks,

Feds see the Fraking light!

After years of study, the Feds see the light! EPA links Fracking to tainted well water... http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/09/us/epa-says-hydraulic-fracturing-likely-marred-wyoming-water.html

"The draft report, after a three-year study by the Environmental Protection Agency, represents a new scientific and political skirmish line over whether fracking, as it is more commonly known, poses a threat in the dozens of places around the nation where it is now being used to extract previously unreachable energy resources locked within rock."

This rocks! and the DEC has extended the deadline to comment on the sGEIS report into January! Take a moment to go through the process, please! After following this link, choose "Submit comments on the proposed 2011 rdSGEIS" and then select "General Comments"... Recommend that the whole thing be tossed out and Fraking just be banned completely in NY!

Green Charity...

While we are not all wealthy enough to be thinking about giving some of our moolah to charities, I know there are people who have enough to work giving into the budget. Knowing who to support can sometimes be a difficult choice. Since this site is obviously environmentally friendly, I will recommend that you support green charities!

Clint Williams at the Mother Nature Network has done a bit of work to help us figure out how to get the most bang for your green charity buck! 8 Well Rated Green Charities (http://www.mnn.com/money/personal-finance/stories/8-well-rated-green-charities-to-kick-start-your-holiday-giving)

The Greener Me has quite a few postings on Squidoo and one of them is about Green Charities. Ten Green Charity Organizations (http://www.squidoo.com/green-charities)

So, if you can give this season, please consider one of the Green Charities listed at either of the links above.

Thanks,

why not sign against Hydrofracking in NY?

Not gonna profit from Hydrofracking, why not sign against? http://www.dec.ny.gov/energy/76838.html choose sGEIS 2011 and select General Comment. Thank you!

NY can lead the way!

THE DECs sGEIS report is seriously flawed. There will be accidents and incidents if HVHF is allowed to occur in NY. There have been issues in EVERY other state where High Volume Hydraulic Fracturing is being performed. That means that all risk factors accounted for in this report are null, the risk is too high. Would NY not be better served as the state that really started the green energy movement instead of bowing to financial and political pressure? NY is big enough and strong enough to push back against the federal pressure exerted due to energy company financial input. Instead of falling down like the other states have already done; we can see the messes that have occurred there; stand against them and be the leader we can be! If NY leads the way against big energy, other states will follow suit. Maybe we can get this country going in the right direction.

Please share this message and send it to the agencies who need to hear it!
