Greetings Earthlings. Have you recovered from all the ’07 Holiday glut yet? Well, recovery is what this Enviro Show is all about, resource recovery or solid waste if you like. We’ll checkout waste reduction, composting, recycling, and household hazardous waste with Amy Donovan, Program Director for the Franklin County Solid Waste Management District. We may get a call from Jana about the latest on the Russell biomass mess too. Also, we’ll shudder together at the dark deeds of Darth Cheney and the boy emperor and scope out the news on the Enviro Show Echo Chamber, but first, as always, it’s time for....Revenge of the Critters! Binky the Polar Bear’s legacy.
"Toxic City" by System of a Down rocks us into the Enviro Show Echo Chamber: did some climate crisis skeptic say the Antarctic is GAINING ice? EERRRRR! Sorry,There’s the buzzer! Wrong. The headline in the Washington Post sez’: "Antarctic ice loss steadily increasing". Hmm, maybe they misread the headline? Maybe they should read this.
What's that dark theme rising in the background? Glen, is it over yet? Puleeeeezzzee say it’s over for the Bush regime! Last time we pointed out the boys from Big Oil in the White House plan to offer oil leases to their friends in prime polar bear habitat. Now, according to the New York Times the emperor’s cronies at USF&W have postponed the decision to list the polar bears as a threatened species, no doubt so their other cronies in the Department of Interior’s Minerals Management Service can unload the leases. O, did we mention that those very same political hacks at Minerals Management just gave the green light to the Cape Wind industrial power plant in Nantucket Sound? THAT should make Greenpeace; Clean Water Action; Mass Climate Action Network; the Interfaith Walk for a Divisive Climate; and their friends happy bedtime buddies with the Bushies! And speaking of an ill Cape Wind that blows no good, it’s time to go to the movies!
O, wait! there's more: Scientists mad as hornets at Bush, swarm Capitol Hill! And finally, Bush exempts Navy from environmental law. With the Bush regime it's never over 'til it's over, huh?
