I'm a month out on the road, and have reclaimed my computer (thank you Rachel) for the purpose of doing work while I learn of new organizations, modes of thinking about sustainability, and that human rights activism is directly related to environmental activism. You may witness some restructuring of this website...don't worry, its all good.
Here are some new resources
News & Information:
One of my favorite new websites...serious to - the - point environmental debate and discussion. Aimed at anyone with a curious mind on climate issues.
"Yale's online magazine offer(s) opinion, analysis, reporting, and debate on global environmental issues...featuring original articles by scientists, journalists, environmentalists, academics, policy makers, and business people, as well as multimedia content and a daily digest of major environmental news."
Organizations & Action:
(National)
Van Jones, my new hero (I never was into heroes, but now I see its useful to have some), writer of New York Times bestseller Green Collar Economy and special advisor to the Obama administration on green jobs. Van and his organization Green for All promote green jobs and economic opportunities for all people, especially to low - income communities who suffer disproportionally from the pollution created by our current economic structure. Journey to this website to learn more about community activism, green jobs, and equity.
