Here’s a bit from Farm Sanctuary about the Virtual Experience: Farm Sanctuary is thrilled to announce the eagerly-anticipated launch of our innovative Virtual Experience, a new digital environment that enables anyone [...]

This story broke a few days ago but I’ve been busy annoying people over at Wildlife Direct and shopping at Tractor Supply (for Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary – I haven’t suddenly gone tractor).

It’s always interesting and this episode was particularly good because it featured Paul Ehrlich, President of the Center for Biological Diversity at Stanford University. Mr. Ehrlich was invited to talk about his new book The Dominant Animal: Human Evolution and the Environment.” Here’s [...]

Many thanks to my friend Pepromene for sending along this newsletter from the artist Saul Williams. So, I’m reading this letter and I’m on board with Saul’s ideology (even if I’m not always a fan of his music) and thinking to myself: “Dude, if you really want to make a change on this planet, go [...]

Yesterday on NPR, I again heard Dubya claiming that the Democrats in Congress are to blame for high gas prices because they refuse to lift the ban on offshore drilling and refuse to allow drilling in the ANWR. I guess it still escapes our Dear Leader that gas prices were $1.46 per gallon when he [...]

Kenya Magazine recently published an interview with Dr. Richard Leakey by Dipesh Pabari. I’ve never met Dipesh but I know him in the Internet-way from his days with Wildlife Direct. In the interview, Dr. Leakey talks mostly about climate change as it applies to Kenya, his native country, but what happens to Kenya should be [...]
