Posted by Justin Smallbridge at August 30, 2007 August 29, 2007 We hope the down-and-dirty message of this anti-littering ad will go beyond the streets of Dublin. It's particularly appropriate for Vancouver, as garbage piles up during the civic-workers' strike. And smokers, please pay close attention: Your butts are litter just as much as any other garbage thrown to the ground!

Posted by Justin Smallbridge at August 28, 2007 August 21, 2007 To an outsider, Albertans look like a monolithic mass of climate-change deniers. But the reality is that Albertans hold a diverse range of opinions. Yes, there are those who want to pursue oil development regardless of the environmental cost. But there are also cattle ranchers fighting water contamination, canola farmers angry because of increasingly bad drought brought on by global warming, and grandparents worried about the effects of pollution on their grandchildren.

But a new breed of boot camp has sprung up in Edmonton to teach wanna-be handymen/women how to convert their homes to eco-palaces.
Posted by Jason Curran at August 20, 2007 August 14, 2007 More critters = more happiness One of the most important benefits of nature to human societies (i.e. “ecosystem goods and services”) are the cultural services that biodiversity provides us - from aesthetic, to recreational, to even spiritual. A new paper published in the journal of the Society of Conservation Biologists has quantified the relationship between biodiversity and one critical cultural service - emotional well-being. They found that by increasing the number of species in a given area (called species richness), a person’s emotional satisfaction improves.

Posted by Justin Smallbridge at August 13, 2007 August 10, 2007 What the heck is going on with Fraser sockeye? By Jeffery Young, David Suzuki Foundation aquatic biologist As of August 6... 197,526 sockeye have entered the Fraser River
The report also provides a summary of the key information available on the status of Fraser sockeye (and other salmon in some cases), a list of the key decisions made by fisheries managers, and the perspectives of the Marine Conservation Caucus on what is going on and how effectively fisheries are being managed. The report is available at www.salmonopolis.ca. Salmonopolis is a project co-developed and produced by the David Suzuki Foundation that provides weekly salmon news items, resources for salmon stewards, and a "Report a Violation" feature through which anyone in B.C. can let us know about salmon habitat problems. You can also check to see the sockeye counter -- it should be updated twice a week through August.

Posted by Justin Smallbridge at August 07, 2007 August 06, 2007 I've suspected it for months now...even years. And now, it's confirmed.
