Yellowstone Nat'l Park joins 'zero waste' recycling movement
An antigarbage strategy is taking hold across the nation, with schools, national parks, corporations and restaurants working to not only reduce waste but to shun any packaging that is not recyclable and recycle everything that can be.

Check it out in the New York Times

Energy Efficiency = Resource Intelligence. Whatever you call it it means DON'T BE WASTEFUL!

This low-hanging fruit stubbornly remains unplucked.

You can have an impact at home and a larger impact through your job.

A good read.

The Amphibian Extinction Crisis

Frog populations worldwide have been declining at unprecedented rates, and nearly one-third of the world's 6,490 amphibian species are threatened with extinction. Amphibians are faced with an onslaught of environmental problems, including pollution, infectious diseases, habitat loss, invasive species, climate change, and over-harvesting for the pet and food trades.

Beth Pratt, Director of Environmental Affairs for Xanterra Parks and Resorts at Yellowstone, will discuss these threats and explain how they affect various groups of amphibians. She will also discuss the necessary actions that must occur in order to prevent further amphibian declines and extinctions. The presentation features many photos of amphibians from around the world, and there will be a question and answer session following the talk. Visit www.savethefrogs.com for more information.

Are you interested in learning about climate change and sustainability in our National Parks?

Beth Pratt, the Director of Environmental Affairs for Xanterra in Yellowstone will give a presentation on how climate change is threatening our National Parks across the country, from the shrinking habitat of the pika to the disappearing glaciers. She’ll also provide examples of what the National Park Service, concessioners, and park partners are doing to combat climate change through sustainable initiatives like renewable energy, recycling, and alternative fuels.
