For seven years on the Organic Center board of directors, I always tried to sit next to Dr. David Pimental of Cornell. He  has written 42 books and is an expert on energy and agriculture. He would always tell me we will look back at ethanol as the biggest “boondoggle” in American agriculture. This article

As I write this, I have just left the LOHAS conference in Boulder, Colo. early after really struggling with the sessions. I’m not totally sure why, but one thing has become very clear to me, and that is that the idealistic discussions and opinions haven’t changed: big is bad, don’t sell out, why aren’t the

On Father’s Day, my family took me out to dinner at a restaurant that serves grass-fed and finished beef and local wild seafood, only two varieties of which were in season: ling cod and sculpin. This enabled us to discuss matters of sustainability related to food without feeling guilty about what we were eating for

The energy level seems to be especially high among big brands to be part of this movement. But what, exactly, is the movement? My feeling is that every company

The importance of building bridges in adversarial situations was brought home to me recently by none other than that veteran negotiator, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, with whom I spent some time hanging out during the recent Middle East Economic Future Conference in Doha, Qatar.  Listening to him counsel young Egyptian revolutionaries to sit down and

So just what is World Oceans Day anyway, and why should it be the equal of Earth Day?

World Oceans Day, the international day of ocean conservation, is an occasion that I and the people I work with at Ocean Aid would like to see become as celebrated as Earth Day – a goal that seems perfectly reasonable in light of the fact that approximately 71 percent of the Earth’s surface is covered

The Discovery Channel should be ashamed of itself for turning the deliberate extermination of a majestic species into entertainment.
