Bet on Ecology & Environment (EEI)
2009-07-23 14:00:00 "With Obama’s focus on clean energy and the environment, Ecology and Environment (NASDAQ: EEI) has the wind at their back," says Jim Oberweis in The Oberweis Report."Ecology and Environment is an environmental consulting firm which provides engineering and environmental support for wind, solar, geothermal, power generation, electric transmission, and other sustainable energy development."For example, the company has provided professional services for developers in 200 wind energy projects in areas such as permitting and project planning. "With hydropower, the company is conducting the most comprehensive Brazilian hydropower assessment study ever undertaken."With coal, the company is part of a team working on a project in Jamestown, NY seeking to develop new 'clean coal' technology by injecting residual carbon dioxide into deep geologic formations where it is permanently sequestered.In the company’s latest reported...

Deep Ecology - An Overview
2008-07-12 04:38:00 Updated July 13:One thing people ought to know about this blog is that one of my philosophies is Deep Ecology. Click that link and you so you can try to figure out what it means. It was part of a debate in the environmentalist (especially radical environmental) movement that probably really got going in the 1990's.It had several rivals, including Social Ecology, promoted by a fellow named Murray Bookchin. Deep Ecology was promoted by a guy named Arne Naess. There's also Ecofeminism, which I'm not really up on, because I can't stand most kinds of feminism, although pro-porn feminists sounds like they are after my heart.To me, Deep Ecology means something like, "Up with the animals, down with the people." I'm not saying kill the people or anything like that, but I think in general, most species have a right to survive just like people. And no, White nationalists may not give me a debate in the comments section of this post about why their race is an endangered species.Notable Dee...

Destroying native ecosystems for biofuel crops will worsen global warming
2008-02-11 19:08:00 Turning native ecosystems into "farms" for biofuel crops causes major carbon emissions that worsen the global warming that biofuels are meant to mitigate, according to a new study by the University of Minnesota and the Nature Conservancy. The work will be published in Science later this month and will be posted online Thursday, Feb. 7. The carbon lost by converting rainforests, peatlands, savannas, or grasslands outweighs the carbon savings from biofuels. Such conversions for corn or sugarcane (ethanol), or palms or soybeans (biodiesel) release 17 to 420 times more carbon than the annual savings from replacing fossil fuels, the researchers said. The carbon, which is stored in the original plants and soil, is released as carbon dioxide, a process that may take decades. This "carbon debt" must be paid before the biofuels produced on the land can begin to lower greenhouse gas levels and ameliorate global warming. The conversion of peatlands for palm oil plantations in Indonesia ran up...

Thoughts on Creativity, Education and Human Ecology
2008-01-12 22:37:00 Educator and Author, Sir Ken Robinson, talks about our education crisis in this 20 minute video.There was a time in my life when I considered returning to school to get a masters degree in art therapy from Naropa University in Boulder. Instead, I applied to the University of Colorado at Denver for a MLA in Landscape Architecture. I was looking for a creative career with a guaranteed income when I set my sights on Landscape Architecture. While some people are able to compromise their values for money with aplomb, I was not as successful. In fact, I didn't listen to the tap on my shoulder when things weren't going well despite the nagging feeling inside - and didn't change my path until a brick slammed upside my head and knocked me straight.I spent a good part of 2006 feeling sorry for myself after dropping out of the graduate program at UCD. Don't get me wrong, I was a really good student - but at the expense of my family and my health. And, then there was that nagging feel...

Climate pollution from aviation, Bali commitments already forgotten
2008-01-02 22:05:00 EU environment ministers have failed to seize a key opportunity to curb emissions from the aviation sector through the European Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), WWF said at the conclusion of the EU Environment Council in Brussels.Whilst all industrial sectors included in the ETS are required to do their share to put the EU on track to meet its Kyoto emissions reduction target, the ceiling on carbon emissions from airlines proposed by the Council today is almost 90 per cent above 1990 levels.?This is a Christmas gift to the aviation industry which should be required to do its fair share in tackling climate change. The sector?s carbon emissions are growing by four to five per cent per year, and ministers failure to grapple with this is completely at odds with the European pledge to reduce emissions by 20-30 per cent by 2020,? said Delia Villagrasa, Senior Advisor at WWF European Policy Office.?Europe took a strong stance at the Bali climate talks, but seems to have taken a backward ste...

What changes are inevitable? What changes, if any, are beneficial? And what can we do as citizens of this planet to protect it and our future generations? Larry Slobodkin, one of the leading pioneers of modern ecology, offers compelling answers to these questions in A Citizen's Guide to Ecology. He provides many insights into ecology and the processes that keep the world functioning. This important guide introduces observations that underlie arguments about all aspects of the natural environment--including both global and local issues. To clarify difficult concepts, Slobodkin uses lake, ocean, and terrestrial ecosystems to explain ecological energy flows and relationships on a global scale. The book pres...

Coral Reef ecology and facts
2007-10-18 15:39:00 Coral Reef ecology and factsCoral reefs are the most diverse, productive marine communities and create the biggest, most spectacular structures made by living organisms. Local communities exploit their high productivity and tourists admire their beauty and uniqueness.What are coral reefs? Are they plants or animals?A coral reef is a living system comprising of a symbiosis between the animal (polyp) and plant (zooxanthellae). Many polyps aggregate forming colonies that secrete calcium carbonate, creating a collective limestone "skeleton". Successive generations of polyps build on top of previous generations "skeletons" leading to reef formation. Through symbiosis with zooxanthellae, reef-building (hermatypic) corals are the basis of life in reef communities.Where do coral reefs live?Coral reefs are present in the waters of over 100 countries. These are warm (18-29'C), shallow, sunny regions primarily between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. They support over 25% of all known mar...
