ECONUNDRUMS YOUR ENVIRONMENTAL DILEMMAS SOLVED
MOTHER JONES April 23, 2012   THIS WEEK'S ECONUNDRUM 80 Percent of Americans Want More Environmental News According to the Pew Research Center's Year in News index, just 1 percent of mainstream news stories in 2011 covered the environment. And yet, according to results from a nationwide poll, 4 out of 5 Americans crave more—and more substantial—news on our planet. So what's to be done? Luckily, the Mother Jones environmental news team is on the case. From Kate Sheppard's coverage of the Keystone XL pipeline and the saga of fracking rules in Pennsylvania to Andy Kroll's groundbreaking investigation of Walmart's Chinese "shadow factories" to Tom Philpott's dissection of all the yucky stuff in your kids' school lunch (beyond pink slime!), we've been hard at work keeping you up to speed on the state of the planet. If you appreciate Andy, Kate, and Tom's reporting, I hope you'll donate to support their work. You can give via credit card or PayPal. We could use $5, $10, or whatever you can spare. Every little bit helps! The environmental news team at Mother Jones thanks you! [READ MORE]   MORE ENVIRONMENTAL & HEALTH COVERAGE Can One Incredibly Stubborn Person Save a Species?
