The overdue proposal comes after a 2007 petition by various local and national groups to NMFS to list the beluga under the ESA, and on the heels of a formal notice of intent to sue by the Center for Biological Diversity.]]> http://susty.com/press-release-cook-inlet-beluga-whale-to-gain-habitat-protection/feed/ 0 http://susty.com/tropical-deforestation-basics-problem-solution-get-your-fix-environment-eco-friendly-green-design/ http://susty.com/tropical-deforestation-basics-problem-solution-get-your-fix-environment-eco-friendly-green-design/#comments Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:24:11 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=7862 How to Save Tropical Rainforests Research reveals that logging is the largest single factor leading to tropical deforestation, as the cutting and road building associated with the timber industry opens avenues into rainforests. This initiates a chain of destruction that can include more logging, mining, slash-and-burn clearing for cattle grazing and conversion for chemical-intensive industrial agriculture. Most of the resultant products are exported to northern industrialized countries.]]> http://susty.com/tropical-deforestation-basics-problem-solution-get-your-fix-environment-eco-friendly-green-design/feed/ 0 http://susty.com/daily-show-water-crisis-book-unquenchable-author-robert-glennon-video/ http://susty.com/daily-show-water-crisis-book-unquenchable-author-robert-glennon-video/#comments Wed, 22 Jul 2009 03:09:52 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=7184 Unquenchable: America's Water Crisis and What To Do About It. While Stewart sees the realities of our water sitch as a bit of a revelation, Glennon points out what many have known for a while: all of the water used in our homes is potable, but only ten percent is used for drinking and cooking.

The occasion was a recent screening of the film Sea Ghosts which uses the Beluga whales as the "canary in the coal mine" to conveying the environmental consequences that await we humans. Ironically Sea Ghosts was on the same night that the Star Trek movie rebooted its space opera franchise, so we asked Fabien to comment on the disproportionate amount of research dollars being apportioned to space exploration over Earth's oceans. He also touches on some basic concepts for how our everyday actions wind up contributing to the pollution of our oceans and how that comes back to haunt us on our dinner plates. ]]> http://susty.com/fabien-cousteau-ocean-exploration-industry-pollution-toxic-chemicals-beluga-whale-consumer-pbs-video/feed/ 4 http://susty.com/conservation-international-screening-movie-home-yann-arthus-bertrand-laura-bowling-ci-nyc-video/ http://susty.com/conservation-international-screening-movie-home-yann-arthus-bertrand-laura-bowling-ci-nyc-video/#comments Wed, 03 Jun 2009 05:56:18 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=6582 Earth From Above) epic film Home held today at the Florence Gould Theater in mid-town Manhattan, we chatted with Conservation International's Head of Marketing and Public Relations Laura Bowling.]]> http://susty.com/conservation-international-screening-movie-home-yann-arthus-bertrand-laura-bowling-ci-nyc-video/feed/ 0 http://susty.com/ray-anderson-on-the-business-logic-of-sustainability-ted-talks-video/ http://susty.com/ray-anderson-on-the-business-logic-of-sustainability-ted-talks-video/#comments Tue, 19 May 2009 01:31:19 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=6532 http://susty.com/ray-anderson-on-the-business-logic-of-sustainability-ted-talks-video/feed/ 0 http://susty.com/french-and-british-nuclear-submarines-collided-earlier-this-month/ http://susty.com/french-and-british-nuclear-submarines-collided-earlier-this-month/#comments Mon, 16 Feb 2009 18:52:58 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=4010 http://susty.com/french-and-british-nuclear-submarines-collided-earlier-this-month/feed/ 0 http://susty.com/get-em-outside-no-child-left-inside-coalition-campaign-video/ http://susty.com/get-em-outside-no-child-left-inside-coalition-campaign-video/#comments Thu, 26 Jun 2008 05:56:21 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=1518 Get kids outside, get them to love the food chain -- that's but one of the ideas behind environmental education programs for kids expressed in this fine video from the folks at No Child Left Inside Coalition & Campaign. Nicely photographed and assembled, the video gives good sounds bites with information about what kids are learning in the great outdoors as well as showing candid shots of young people experiencing and connecting with nature. These moments that let you see children taking perhaps some of their first steps toward forging a lifelong relationship, or dare we say it romance, with nature are fun, touching and thrilling. As visual mediamakers, we can tell you that bits like this are not easy to fake.]]> http://susty.com/get-em-outside-no-child-left-inside-coalition-campaign-video/feed/ 1
