Folks used to sit on the porch shootin’ the breeze.
For many now, the porch is a cubicle and the breeze is digital. These are a few
of the stories floating around our cyber porch today—and they focus on the
environment.
Marches and
Summits: As a U.N. summit on climate
change approaches, thousands of people marched in cities around the world
Sunday to urge their leaders to act boldly to reduce the greenhouse gas
emissions that are driving the changes.
Waste and Want:
Harvest Media offers six insightful articles about food, waste, and the
environment. One source claims that approximately 40% of all food produced in
the United States is wasted.
Donuts and the Forests:
Environmentalists say two major doughnut chains got a little sweeter as
Krispy Kreme and Dunkin' Brands both made commitments to source palm oil for
frying their goodies from suppliers who are not clear-cutting forests.
