little blue planet

Do you, like me, want to keep up with George Bush & Co., as they turn the nation's natural resources, air, water etc., and open/public lands over to their energy industry cronies and other fellow travelers? Undermine international environmental treaties? When they're not simply ignoring them?

There's a lot to read! A few links that can help:

BushGreenwatch — Tracking the Bush Administration's Environmental Misdeeds sends out daily updates. If by luck there's no new outrage in that day's news, BushGreenwatch fills in the background on Bush's environmental record. Back issues are archived; notable quotes noted.

Environment 2004, composed of former Clinton administration officials and other prominent enviros, looks to put the environment on the 2004 election agenda. It's got potential.

Tidepool is practically an elder of environmental news online. Daily updates of stories relevant to Salmon Nation, the central and northern Pacific coast of North America, with a very inclusive and intelligent editorial eye. Do you like to eat fish? Use wood? Well then, what happens in the Pacific NW will interest you.

The Viridian Design Movement archives Bruce Sterling's Viridian mailing list, which is mostly concerned with the progress of global warming. There's a lot of other shiny bright green material here too, and it's not strictly about Bush, the U.S., or climate change for that matter. Bruce uncovers stuff you might never otherwise hear about.
