I've been serving on planning committees for the upcoming Environmental
Justice summit in Worcester, MA on June 9, at Clark University. One of
the tools we're providing for advocates and activists is an EJ Resources
Directory. It's also now available as a wiki, courtesy of the
directory team, which is myself and colleague Erika G. I'm proud of our
work and hope it will be a useful reference. We'll be continuing to add to it over time.
Visit the wiki (including discussion forum) at http://neej.wikidot.com
sporadically produced odds, ends, and essaylets on any number of topics from programming to politics, paramecia to puff pastries.

Canada closing its marine pollution program
Canada closing its marine pollution program
"It's perplexing that we face the loss of this program, given the 25,000 chemicals on the market and the ever-increasing threats posed by shipping and oil and gas exploration and development in temperate and Arctic waters," Peter Ross told msnbc.com. Ross is perhaps Canada's best known marine scientist for his work on identifying killer whales as the most contaminated marine mammals on the planet.Yeah, I'm speechless, too.
"As can be expected when one is told their position is being terminated, one is shocked and saddened," he added. "However, when told that the entire pollution research and monitoring program for Canada's oceans is being eliminated, I was speechless."
