HeadlinesLA Bike Culture: "As longtime activists push to make the gridlocked city more bicycle friendly a new wave of riders is partying in the streets, challenging city hall, and even taking to the freeways. Is bike culture here to stay?" California sues federal government over changes in Endangered Species Act: "The state attorney general's office says new rules put California's threatened and endangered wildlife in greater danger and could cost the state more to protect the plants and animals on the list." Is Ken Salazar Too Nice?: "What the Interior Department needs right now is someone willing to bust heads when necessary and draw the line against the powerful commercial groups — developers, ranchers, oil and gas companies, the off-road vehicle industry — that have long treated the department as a public extension of their private interests." O.C. toll road hits dead end in D.C.: "Commerce Department officials uphold Coastal Commission's rejection of the Foothill-South toll road, citing six alternative routes that wouldn't cut through San Onofre and Trestles." California officials launch 'Green Chemistry' initiative: "The plan would inform consumers how items sold in the state are manufactured and transported and how environmentally safe their ingredients are." More. Mojave Desert historian keeps California's heritage alive: "Reporting from Goffs, Calif. -- Out on the great swells of the eastern Mojave Desert, that vast sand sea lying between Barstow and the Colorado River, there is no crumb of history, no tall tale, no arcane bit of knowledge too small to escape Dennis Casebier's notice." Independent scientific reviews taken out of Endangered Species Act: "The Bush administration on Thursday eliminated 35-year-old regulations in the Endangered Species Act that required an independent scientific review of proposed federal projects to determine whether they imperil protected plants and animals. Instead, federal agencies undertaking projects like road and power plant construction or oil and gas drilling will make their own assessment. Without the independent reviews, such projects could be accelerated." California adopts the most sweeping curbs on greenhouse gas emissions in U.S.: "California regulators adopted the nation's first comprehensive plan to slash greenhouse gases Thursday and characterized it as a model for President-elect Barack Obama, who has pledged an aggressive national and international effort to combat global warming. The ambitious blueprint by the world's eighth-largest economy would cut the state's emissions by 15% from today's level over the next 12 years, bringing them down to 1990 levels." As More Eat Meat, a Bid to Cut Emissions: "The cows and pigs dotting these flat green plains in the southern Netherlands create a bucolic landscape. But looked at through the lens of green-house gas accounting, they are living smokestacks, spewing methane emissions into the air. That is why a group of farmers-turned-environmentalists here at a smelly but impeccably clean research farm have a new take on making a silk purse from a sow’s ear: They cook manure from their 3,000 pigs to capture the methane trapped within it, and then use the gas to make electricity for the local power grid. Rising in the fields of the environmentally conscious Netherlands, the Sterksel project is a rare example of fledgling efforts to mitigate the heavy emissions from livestock. But much more needs to be done, scientists say, as more and more people are eating more meat around the world." Bicycle builders are on a roll: "In an era of global sourcing and computer-aided design, Gregory Townsend builds custom steel bicycle frames in his Monrovia garage. The 50-year-old British expatriate, who learned metal crafting in a high school shop class, is part of a small but growing number of crafts-people in California catering to bicycle enthusiasts who eschew the super-light carbon fiber cycles of the Tour de France for hand-built frames with meticulous fittings and elaborate paint jobs." |
