So here are some interesting things from around the internet on this the first EcoMonday of the new year:
Other Worlds Are Possible: the sixth report from the New Economics Foundation. If you’re looking for something to read that isn’t wholly pessimistic, this is pretty interesting stuff. Note that it’s a PDF download and pretty big.
Law requiring solar energy heaters in new homes – well, I guess if any state was going to do this, Hawaii’s the one to start it.
Chemical regulations that might actually work: the Environmental Defense Fund’s blog discusses the EPA’s new “Chemical Action Plans”.
Peace Teaching: stories from North Kivu, the Congo – by Zawadi Nikuze.
The Obligatory Bicycle-Related Link.
Finally, things to write to your MP about! Here are some private members’ bills you may be interested in.
Establishing a National Ecosystems Council
Prohibiting the Export of Water
Establishing an Oil and Gas Ombudsman
And then there’s The Tartan Day Act – yeah, I don’t know either.
