Late last week Senator Schumer (D-NY) introduced a federal bill to ban BPA, a hormone-disrupting chemical used in 95% of baby bottles, from all products for infants and young children. Just weeks ago, The National Institute of Health issued a report questioning the safety of BPA -- though they claim...

Thomas Friedman's Green Pie in the Sky

Jeff Biggers

Instead of a pie in the face, which Thomas L. Friedman ducked at Brown University a couple of weeks ago, the student pranksters should have tossed a few tough questions to the bestselling author about his fading green bona fides.

For starters, take his ill-informed understanding of coal. Using his...

Though the nation's pundits have decided that the primary race is over, someone failed to get Clinton the memo -- she is determined to stay in to the bitter end.

The next primaries are in West Virginia and Kentucky, states where the number of poor whites is high and...

Sharing: A Truly Radical (and Green) Idea

One of the first lessons we teach kids is to share, so you'd think our grown-up society would be all about give and take. In our super-consumer culture though, we're all convinced by companies that we each need our own versions of everything. But do we? Maybe sharing is one...

Marianne Schnall

Last year I did an interview with Cameron Diaz who was helping promote Al Gore's Live Earth event for a piece I wrote that ran at Entertainment Weekly's web site, EW.com, "Cameron Diaz on Live Earth".

With Earth Day upcoming on April 22nd, I thought...

Is the Hybrid Escalade an Oxymoron?

Clint Wilder

Some years ago, I'm not sure when, the prize vehicles awarded to heroes of major sports events made the unfortunate transition from snazzy convertible sports cars to the biggest, hulkiest, meanest SOBs - I mean SUVs - on the block. So it was no surprise when New York Giants quarterback...

Why Economic Stimulus Should Be Green

James Boyce | Posted February 8, 2008 | Politics


James Boyce

Let's start with politicians talking the talk on global warming and the environment.

Well, I don't believe that climate change is just an issue that's convenient to bring up during a campaign. I believe it's one of the greatest moral challenges of our generation. -- Barack Obama, from an Iowa...

Why Al Gore is Not President

Rick Jacobs | Posted January 23, 2008 | Politics


Rick Jacobs

Al Gore is truth. Think about it. He says what needs to be said without fear, without posturing. He leads.

He succeeds in the worlds of politics, business, and diplomacy. He reads and writes history. He has access to the smartest people on the planet. He has a loving, close-knit...

Andy Revkin has a great op-ed over on NYT, laying out our collective coal dilemma and the difficulty in communicating effectively about it.

I've been pondering why clean coal -- a climate solution that does not yet so much as, um, exist -- has taken on such talismanic quality...

Fiddling as the Planet Warms

Bill Curry

Ten years ago I got caught unaware during a TV debate on global warming. Midway through the show, the industry funded science denier I was debating unveiled a new argument. It was so daft I mistook it for a joke, thus appearing disrespectful when I meant to be congenial; proof...

New York Times   |  CLAUDIA H. DEUTSCH   |   November 16, 2007 09:41 AM


Officially, Wal-Mart Stores released a "comprehensive report of its sustainability efforts" yesterday. But the much-anticipated document could more accurately be described as a citizenship report. The report did provide many facts and figures about the progress the company has made...
