Nationally, natural gas has overtaken coal as the number one most commonly used fuel for generating electricity. How will these events shape the future of Tucson Electric Power’s energy portfolio? The company is on a path to reduce its overall coal generation capacity by 30 percent in less than 10 years by increasing renewable power, energy efficiency and natural-gas generation. However, solar and wind are not available at all times, so is it realistic to replace all the coal? How quickly can we replace it? How will they get from here to there?

And now she is focusing on the continuing future development of nuclear power plants by international corporate interests. From what I have read, Mary Lou is doing extensive research and her findings scare me – particularly about the very serious ongoing radioactive emissions from the Fukushima Daiichi power plant accident in 2011. She is learning that thyroid cancers are already appearing in children, that radioactive water is being poured into the ocean at an alarming rate and that TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power Company) is FINALLY starting to come clean about the severity of the Fukushima disaster in other respects as well.

He grew up on a small farm in Maryland, the second-youngest of six children of a sharecropper. His father had a strict rule about no sports until all farm chores were done. It served Will well as he went on to become a standout basketball player and the first African-American athlete at the University of Miami. Impressive right? And that was only the beginning of his incredible journey. Will has been an innovator in methods of composting, vermicomposting (using worms to refine and fertilize compost) and aquaponics (growing fish and food plants in a closed system).

I love these two! The backstory:  On a trip to South America back in 1993, Scott encountered the priceless beauty of clothes produced by local artisans. The richness of the culture and the amazing knitting techniques prompted him to bring back more than a souvenir to his Northern California home. He returned with a vision to pioneer a new business model that would invite each of us to wear apparel that demonstrates our commitment to the people and environment. Together, Scotty and Matt have helped form a scalable artisan network through the Indigenous clothing line that reflects a commitment to sustainability, social entrepreneurship and responsible actions by consumers and business alike.

In January of 2012, Megan Kimble was a twenty-six-year-old living in a small apartment without even a garden plot to her name. But she cared about where food came from, how it was made, and what it did to her body: so she decided to go an entire year without eating processed foods.

And that because of its versatility, the demand worldwide has tripled over the last few decades. Palm oil is cheap and often substituted for cocoa butter and is semi-solid at room temperature. I like to think of it as one of those ingredients I call “what lies beneath.” It’s in lots of chocolate, frying oil, baked goods, breakfast cereals, cosmetics, personal care and cleaning products. Palm oil is in such demand that much of Southeast Asia, especially Borneo and Sumatra, have grown massive plantations of this crop – all at the very tragic expense of the rainforests and their inhabitants. Because of my deep love and respect for the rainforests, this show will be a tough one for me. But trust me when I say it will be one well worth listening to and I am ready for the challenge.

About 15 years ago he launched The Super Bowl environmental program. It has five main initiatives: solid waste management, material reuse, food recovery, sports equipment and book donations, and greenhouse gas reduction. Where are they now and what can we expect in terms of the greening of Super Bowl XLIX? I am excited to find out about all of their incredible accomplishments and challenges during the NFLs journey to becoming more sustainable. Meet April Trigg. She started an event planning company with a focus on creating sustainable events that are both eco-friendly AND economical. If there is a way to green your party AND have everything look elegant and gorgeous, April has it figured out. One quote I love about Eventologie and what they do: “we incorporate greening tactics into every event we produce to ensure we are doing our part to reduce the typically astounding wasteful nature of our industry and making sure the leave behind from our events are ideas and connections and not trash.” I have met April and her enthusiasm is contagious.

Following the ethnographic tradition, sometimes they even lived with them for a short period of time. Sometimes they followed them around as they hunted, fished, harvested, collected wood, and built their homes. And at times they too practiced living in off-grid homes and cabins. Over two years, they visited about 100 homes and interviewed about 200 off-grid Canadians, as well as many American and British expats living in Canada.

Dr. Curry is a professor and former Chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology, and President (co-owner) of Climate Forecast Applications Network (CFAN). She has been known for her work on hurricanes, Arctic ice dynamics and other climate-related topics. But over the past year or so she has become better known for something that annoys, even infuriates, many of her scientific colleagues. According to one article in Scientific American, Curry has been engaging actively with the climate change skeptic community, largely by participating on outsider blogs such as Climate Audit, the Air Vent and the Black­board. Why a climate heretic? Because she has come to question the way climatologists react to those who question the science. She thinks there's a lot of "crankology" out there.

Birds, bats, bees, butterflies, beetles, and other small mammals that pollinate plants are responsible for bringing us one out of every three bites of food. They also sustain our ecosystems and produce our natural resources by helping plants reproduce. Without the actions of pollinators agricultural economies, our food supply, and surrounding landscapes would collapse.  Laura Davis Adams has overseen the initial organization and the development of the North American Pollinator Protection Campaign (NAPPC).

It is a collaborative effort to bring consumers and companies together to address solutions around global climate change. Climate Counts scores the world's largest companies on their climate impact to spur corporate climate responsibility and conscious consumption. Their goal is to motivate deeper awareness among consumers - that the issue of climate change demands their attention, and that they have the power to support companies that take climate change seriously and avoid those that don't. When consumers take action and raise their voices on issues that matter to them, businesses pay attention. Climate Counts has no interest in doom-and-gloom environmental reporting. Instead, it believes that positive change starts with a hopeful outlook; that real change is possible; and that the relationship between companies and consumers can become more substantive and constructive.

There is so much for us all to learn when it comes to talking tires! Do you know why your tires need to be properly inflated? When tires are pumped up to the optimum level of air pressure, they have just enough tire on the road to do the job, but not enough to drag you down. Think of what it was like when you rode a bicycle – it was much easier to fly along when your bike tires were pumped up. It is the same with your car tires. To get you motivated, PDEQ is giving you a chance to win either a free set of tires or $100. We'll tell you all about it, so please plan to join us.

According to Falk, there are at least three areas where we can rethink our relationship to forest fires, their causes and consequences. By far the most important factor is understanding and accepting the reality of climate change. The increases in area burned, for example, are driven by earlier loss of mountain snowpack as well as drier winters and warmer spring and summer temperatures. In other words, it's all about connecting the scientific dots. Are we doing fire suppression the right way?

I can't write it any better than Treehugger.com did, so here you go. "Like all schoolchildren, students at Sun Valley Elementary School, in San Rafael, California, just love to draw with colored markers, but hate the waste it produces. Each day, as their young imaginations would materialize on paper, it left behind a hefty pile of empty pens that they couldn't stomach throwing away. Last year, members the school's "Green Team", made up of 1st through 5th-graders, decided to try to reduce the environmental impact of their creative process -- by looking for a way to give those dried-up markers another life outside the landfill. Led by teacher Mr. Land Wilson, the forward-thinking youngsters made an appeal to the manufacturer of their favorite felt-tipped pens, Crayola, to convince the company to start recycling their empties. And they did it." Join me to hear about their success.

Yes to all of them. Kerstin, her late husband and now her daughter Rebecca, have successfully transformed the retail apparel marketplace by leading the resale fashion industry. To the best of my knowledge, Buffalo Exchange was the very first store that bought, sold, traded, and took clothing items and accessories on consignment. I can attest to the fact that when Buffalo Exchange opened in 1974 in Tucson, resale shopping carried a stigma. Hard to believe now. The Blocks have truly been pioneers in reversing this trend leading the charge to Buffalo Exchange taking the country by storm. And we’ve only just begun. Kerstin is my friend, a person who cares deeply about the environment and who is NEVER afraid to tell you what she thinks.

He was captivating-- the group he spoke with didn't want him to stop. The Earth Institute at Columbia University describes him best. "To his colleagues, peers and admirers he is a genius and a pioneer, the Grandfather of Climate Science. And to his countless friends - most of whom also happen to be colleagues, peers and admirers - he is simply Wally. Broecker is arguably one of the world's greatest living geoscientists. For more than half a century, his major research interest has been the ocean's role in climate change. He was among the pioneers in radiocarbon and isotope dating - the quintessential processes for creating maps of the Earth's past climate fluctuations since as early as the Pleistocene period. He was also the first person ever to recognize the Ocean Conveyor Belt (which he named), arguably the most important discovery in the history of oceanography and its critical relation to climate."
