Killer Junk Mail!

Ok, so maybe the title is a bit dramatic, but Margie Ryan at 41pounds.org just informed me of updated numbers on junk mail that I think are staggering.

This amounts to 100 million trees being cut down [...]

This means that any real and comprehensive global warming legislation must include provisions to help stop deforestation if it is serious about reducing carbon emissions. With the Waxman-Markey Bill pacing the way the US appears to be poised to reduce CO2 [...]

Trees Subsidize Global Warming Fight

Trees sequester CO2, provide carbon offsets, wildlife habitat and community co-benefits. But should we treat trees as a free subsidy?

Trees Subsidize Global Warming Fight

Many of us know the basic principles that underlie the global carbon cycle. Carbon is emitted into the atmosphere through respiration and burning of organic materials and fossil fuels. Much of that same carbon is then absorbed back into the earth through terrestrial and oceanic biological processes. When more carbon is emitted than the earth [...]
