Envirohealth News: Peak oil, drought, and (thank goodness) some environmental heroes

October 22, 2007

Atlanta droughtGreener parenting: Because "those cute little feet sure do make a big carbon footprint."

Atlanta has less than a 90-day supply of water left, and so far there's no backup plan.

German-based Energy Watch Group (EWG, hah!) says that oil output peaked in 2006, and their studies show that it will decline by 7% per year. The Guardian has the story (in their business section, which strikes me as being vaguely ironic).

The next time a friend asks why you're so concerned about your child's exposure to environmental toxins, point them to this article -- it's one of the best I've seen on the subject.

When is the (un)grass too green? More on the synthetic turf wars.

Time Magazine designates Heroes of the Environment. The list includes the usual suspects, and some people you've probably never heard of.
