 | California Passes Tough CO2 Emissions Law California lawmakers joined environmental groups last week in celebrating the passage of a landmark global warming bill designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The legislation caps California's emissions at 1990 levels by 2020 (representing an estimated 25 percent overall reduction from current levels); establishes a mandatory emissions reduction reporting program to the state’s Air Resource Board; and establishes a "cap and trade" program allowing businesses to buy and sell emissions rights.

 | Green Groups File Suit Opposing Weakening of Salmon Protections A coalition of environmental groups led by American Rivers and Earthjustice Legal Defense Fund has filed suit in federal court challenging a White House decision to lower protections for salmon and other fish in the re-licensing of 70 dams across the country. At issue is a loophole in the 2005 Energy Policy Act that allows dam operators to avoid implementing onerous and expensive wildlife protections that they deem too costly or that limit hydroelectric power production.

 | Ken Ford Fights for Chalmette Ghosts linger in Louisiana's St. Bernard Parish. Before you meet cancer survivor Ken Ford of Chalmette, you must first meet the ghosts. They come on wings of natural and man-made disasters. They slip in through the cracks of poverty. You can spot them in the worst manifestations of American culture. You hear their voices murmur from history, always challenging the irony of who gets to live, and die. By Andrea Alexander Go to all articles - Go to this article |

Tripping the lights organic
Published: September 5, 2006, 4:00 AM PDT
If Universal Display is right, lightbulbs in the future won't come in boxes. They will be incorporated into the wallpaper.
The Ewing, N.J., company--along with General Electric, Osram Opto Semiconductors and others--is tinkering with the idea of transforming organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), thin sheets of plastic that emit light, into a source of room lighting.
Pioneer and Samsung Electronics already use OLEDs for screens on consumer electronics products. By increasing the size of the sheets and the brightness, researchers think the material could become an energy-efficient substitute for the hoary incandescent bulb. OLED lighting--organic because the films that emit light contain hydrogen and carbon atoms--could be incorporated into fabrics, furniture and other items.
"The dream is to get to the point where you can roll out OLEDs or stick them up like Post-it notes," said Janice Mahon, vice president of technical commercialization at Universal Display.

US Direct Action: How American Cities Have Bypassed Bush on Kyoto
By Andrew Gumbel
The Independent UK
Friday 01 September 2006
It is not just the state of California that is bypassing the authority of the US government to take action on global warming.
The mayors of more than 300 cities across the country have signed a Climate Protection Agreement in which they have pledged to meet the emissions-cutting timetable laid down by the Kyoto Protocol - regardless of what the Bush administration decides.
Some of those cities, such as Seattle, which took the lead on drafting and lobbying for the agreement, are bastions of liberal politics and environmentalism, acting out their ideological convictions. Others, though, such as the exclusive Colorado ski resorts Vail and Aspen, are also motivated by a powerful self-interest. If global warming continues unabated, the Rocky Mountain snowpack will melt and there will be no skiing in Vail, Aspen or anywhere else by the end of this century.
Seattle's Mayor, Greg Nickels, proposed the mayors' agreement whenKyoto came into effect at the start of last year. By June 2005, he had 140 signatories, and the number has more than doubled since.
The goal is to "meet or exceed" the Kyoto target of cutting global warming pollution to 7 per cent below 1990 levels by 2012.
The agreement also contains a 12-point action plan, urging signatory cities to discourage sprawl, promote public transport, car-pooling and bicycle lanes, turn to alternative energy sources including alternative fuels for the municipal vehicle and bus fleet, plant lots of trees and introduce environmental education programmes in schools and community colleges.
Seattle, in the Pacific Northwest, is the perfect poster-child for many of these initiatives, since it sits between two heavily forested mountain ranges and is surrounded by water. Despite a long history of environmentalism and commitment to public transport, it has been struggling with smog problems in recent years because of heavy car commuter traffic from the ever-expanding suburbs.
The Colorado ski resorts, meanwhile, have taken robust action to convert to renewable energy to power their ski lifts, shops, hotels and administrative buildings.
Vail just signed a deal to buy more than 150,000 megawatt-hours of wind power per year - the greenhouse gas-saving equivalent of taking 18,000 cars off the roads. Aspen, meanwhile, commissioned a study in April that revealed the severe damage done to the environment by private jets landing at its airport. It is now working to curtail air traffic.
Aspen's top city lawyer, John Worcester, described the city earlier this year as the global-warming equivalent of "the canary in the miner's cage". "It is incumbent on all of us," he said, "to face the potential threat upon our economy and way of life as we would any other potential threat".

National Wetlands Dialogue: Making Sense of Rapanos v. United States By: Environmental Law Institute Given the U.S. Supreme Court's recent failure in Rapanos v. United States to carve out a definitive rule on what constitutes jurisdictional wetlands, the current edition of the National Wetlands Newsletter® (September/October 2006) offers much-needed insight and analysis on the decision. This particular issue should prove quite valuable to environmental practitioners as they eagerly await guidance on the matter from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
