Audubon to leap aboard the global warming bandwagon just as the wheels fall off

The Tucson Audubon Society is broadening its primary focus from birds and wildlife habitat to water and, particularly, global warming from carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
"It's clear that unless we do something about CO2, habitats will continue to deteriorate, and we won't have the birds to watch," said the group's director, Paul Green, explaining the provocative shift.

...We all know what we need to do: Centralize where we live, reduce private cars and increase public transit. . . . People shouldn't be driving from Sahuarita into Tucson or Marana into Tucson.
Q: What is your own carbon footprint?
A: I live on the Northwest Side, about a 20-minute drive from my job. I'm there not because I want to live there but for personal, private reasons. I will be looking in the near future for housing within walking distance of work.

Cool Earth(C) Launches U.S. Initiative to Help Protect the 30 Million Acres of Rainforest Destroyed

Cool Earth, a UK-based nonprofit organization that protects endangered rainforest in the Amazon to combat global warming and provide sustainable jobs for people, is expanding its rainforest protection initiative to the United States.

U.S. consumers now have the opportunity to join Cool Earth's fight and make a global impact, while saving wildlife and protecting local communities from destruction. With only a $50 donation, people can sponsor a 1/2 acre of endangered Amazon rainforest, effectively offsetting one household's annual emissions by a factor of five. Individuals can monitor the impact of their donation online at www.coolearth.org.
