		<title>Should Edmonton Demand the Vote &#8211; Again?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago I was approached by a canvasser employed by Envision Edmonton and asked if I would like to sign the “Demand the Vote” petition.

		<title>Deforestation: Clearing the way for good?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Despite years of environmentally-themed courses, ecologically-focused textbooks, and conservationally-conscious parenting, I found myself inwardly cheering for deforestation earlier this week. I know…unthinkable! Before you gasp, say a little prayer on my behalf, and stop reading, please give me a chance to explain! After participating in several health and hygiene promotions in rural Cambodia, I realized [...]]]></description>

		<title>Can a Climate Skeptic Care about the Environment?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Often when we are talking about global warming we often hear someone say that they do not believe in global warming, but they do care about the environment or that some aspect of the environment is more important than global warming.

		<title>A Malediction Forbidding (Over) Air-Conditioning (with apologies to John Donne)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As virtuous souls swelter in heat and humidity, their friends encourage them to turn on the air-conditioning. Having just spent a week in DC, I can testify to the temptation! While considered moderate for August in the DC area, the temperature was still 33 degrees C and the humidity 75%, which according to a humidex [...]]]></description>

		<title>Au Sable</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This May, I had the amazing opportunity to attend the Great Lakes campus (Michigan) of the Au Sable Institute for Environmental Studies. Three weeks of Natural History later, I have to say to everyone age 18 to 80, if you get the chance to take a course at any of the three campuses (two in [...]]]></description>

		<title>State of Virginia treats Michael Mann like the church treated Galileo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the most important accomplishments of Galileo Galileo was his astronomical observations which confirmed that the Earth orbited the Sun rather than the Sun orbiting the Earth. Unfortunately, the conclusions of his research put him at odds with the Roman Catholic Church, which taught that the Earth could not move. In 1633, was brought [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Power of Fear and Love</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the later 1950s, psychologist Harry Harlow conducted a famous series of experiments with rhesus monkeys that showed that well-being requires a secure and loving home base. Monkeys reared with an uncomfortable wire substitute ‘mother’ that provided only nourishment were paralyzed by fear, unable to interact with other monkeys or their environment. Those reared with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Edmonton Washing Machine Rebate Debate</title>

This is an attempt to encourage people to “preserve the environment.” The city’s environmental plan, “The Way We Green,” is the driving force behind this program, offering information on how adjustments in our [...]]]></description>
