Edmonton is not a large city by global standards, yet we do have significant light pollution. This post by Dean Ohlman will have you at Elk Island in no time, enjoying the starry skies in our local sky preserve. Not many cities have such a place nearby, we should take advantage! If you like this post be sure to keep reading – Dean also makes #1 in this week’s list!
2) Climate Verse Weather

Many people assume that simply because they are having a colder than normal winter climate change is no longer relevant. This Green Pages blog post describes a new helpful brochure that enables people to discern the differences between weather and climate.
1) Responses to Wendell Berry’s “The Gift of Good Land” on the Flourish Blog.

The Flourish Blog has been posting a number of responses to Wendell Berry’s 30 year old essay. Dean Ohlman’s post this week will resonate with many of us who teach about stewardship but struggle to live a fully sustainable life.
