Once again life and work are stealing me from blogging time. So in the interim, I offer for your amusement and enlightenment a couple of environment-related political cartoons by Mikhaela Reid.
This 27-year-old feminist inksmith recently published a book of her work, Attack of the 50- foot Mikhaela. Besides pollution, global warming, and the like, her trenchant and take-no prisoners ‘toons tackle topics such as women’s body image, reproductive rights, the depredations of the radical Right, and more.
C’mon now and support another woman making her own media!
The Delaware Bay Oyster Restoration Task Force began spending the bulk of its 2007 Congressional appropriation this month when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Philadelphia District took measures to place approximately 550,000 bushels of clean clam shells onto existing oyster reefs.

Have you ever stopped to consider how your morning shower or that water bottle you carry may be negatively affecting your health? Daily exposures to toxins and chemicals in the most unexpected of places can be adding to your risk of disease or illness. The number of chemicals we encounter during daily routines, from the plastics to cosmetics to diesel exhaust to air fresheners to cleaning products (to name only a few), form the toxic and chemical soup humans we expose ourselves and our children to each day. In this podcast, PennFuture’s Christine Knapp attends the Urban Sustainability Forum on health: Human Ecology and the Urban Environment. Christine talks with both of the forum’s presenters, each playing important roles in raising awareness about linkages between environment and health, and in pursuing ways to curb exposures to risks from such substances. Dr. Julie Becker is the founder of the Women’s Health and Environmental Network and Dr. Howard Frumkin, MD, MPH, DrPH, is the director of the National Center for Environmental Health. Both discuss how we can live healthier, through simple (but important) choices, in urban environments. But their advice holds true for any environment. You can learn more about the connections between our health and the environment in which we live by visiting the Collaborative on Health and the Environment site. There you will find a host of resources from partners around the country. There is even a Pennsylvania working group (CHE-Penn) that you can join to get more involved on a local level. PennFuture has been a proud working partner of CHE-Penn since its inception. To learn more about our initiatives to protect our health and our environment, visit our Web site. We welcome your involvement in PennFuture as a member! To support our work, click here.

Hello …
I am a member of the Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education (SCEE), and I am opposed to SCEE installing solar panels in the wildlife habitat. I am also opposed to how Governor Rendell’s bill will forward this kind of wildlife habitat loss, and I explain it as follows:
I am opposed to Governor Rendell’s energy […]

Washington Post has an article stating that the glacial source of 70% of the Ganges River in India could vanish as early as 2030 because of global warming.
What a global disaster this would be.

9 Days. That’s how much time we have left to reauthorize Pennsylvania’s cornerstone toxic cleanup program, the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund–so we need your help today.
There are only nine legislative days before our politicians in Harrisburg take their summer recess. Unfortunately, the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund is set to expire on July 1st. If […]
