    Happy Solstice! (the one ritual we all acknowledge this time of year)

    Due to time constraints (and my realization that I’m suffering from computer-overuse-induced repetitive stress injury), Green Goddess Gazette is taking an indefinite pause.

    However!

  • Vindicating Rachel

    Number of comments: 16
    May 2007 heralded the 100th birthday of biologist Rachel Carson, author of the seminal 1962 book Silent Spring, which warned of the dangers of synthetic chemicals and helped launch the modern environmental movement. While many media outlets celebrated her life and work with encomiums, other voices (notably contrarian New [...]

  • Documentary Eyes Environmental Links to Breast Cancer

    Number of comments: 15
    I’ve complained before that articles on possible environmental links to breast (and other) cancers are relatively few and far between, and those that appear have no “legs.” So I was excited to hear about “No Family History,” an upcoming documentary investigating the links between breast cancer and the [...]

    Greetings! The Green Goddess is back, after a summer long on elder care and short on time to blog. But, dear readers, somehow more than a thousand of you visited just the same from as far away as Greenland, South Africa, and India. Thanks!

    It's nice to see that people are reading this blog despite that I haven't posted a peep in a month now. With good reason: I was madly moving into my new (80-year-old) house, a first after 25 years of apartment dwelling, then traveling in the [...]

    I’ve nearly no time to blog as I am in the midst of moving and then, traveling. But it’s Women’s History Month, so there’s no way I’d let March go by without noting some news under the rubric of “Women, Media, and the Environment.”

    Thought the Academy Award–nominated documentary An Inconvenient Truth was too wonkish? Yet still curious or concerned about global warming (as well you should be)? Then your best bet in terms of both information and entertainment may be The Weather Channel’s "Climate Code with Dr. Heidi Cullen."

    Sometimes I hate being right.

    To me, “Plant a tree! Neutralize your emissions!” always sounded too good to be true.

    Now comes a study from the American Geophysical Society that concludes that planting trees is not necessarily a good way to offset the carbon [...]

    Like so many environmentally conscious people, my list of New Year's resolutions includes finding ways to reduce my "carbon footprint" and to "offset" seemingly unavoidable greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). As Gazette readers know, I'm skeptical of offsets because they don't literally neutralize your GHG output.' [...]

    Number of comments: 7
    The conservation group Environmental Defense has found a creative way to use electronic media and "viral marketing" to let people express their concern about global warming. Namely, a video contest that asks them to write and perform their own songs about climate change.

    It all began with Environmental Defense's' [...]
