Tar Sands Oil Development’s Impact on Birds

Each year tens of million of migratory birds “overwinter” in the Canadian Boreal forest, a vast tract of mostly uninhabited coniferous woodlands and wetlands stretching from Newfoundland to the Yukon.

Dealing with Mounting "E-Waste"

With electronic equipment and gadgets the fastest growing waste stream in many countries, how to deal with so-called “e-waste” may in fact be one of the most pressing environmental problems of the 21st century. While some countries and even some U.S. states have their own laws regulating the disposal of electronics and other technology items, environmentalists would like to see the federal government take a stand against e-waste.

Rooftop Solar Finally Cost Competitive with Grid in U.S.

Deutsche Bank reports that by 2016 residential rooftop solar panels will deliver electricity to homeowners at rates equal to or lower than fossil-fuel-derived grid power in 47 out of 50 U.S. states — but only if Congress extends the generous 30 percent solar investment tax credit currently available.
