| Sustainability In The News |
 |
|
Sustainability increasingly held the media’s
attention in 2006. As we enter 2007, sustainability
remains a compelling topic in the news. Here are a
few big stories from the month of January.
New
Island Uncovered In Greenland As Result Of Global
Warming – Glacial melting is changing the shape
of Greenland’s coastline. A former peninsula in
Greenland was recently identified as an island.
Internet
Neutrality And Sustainability – Congress is
considering a bill that prevents large internet
providers from giving higher speed access to web
companies paying a higher fee. While seemingly
unrelated to sustainability, regulation of internet
access would dramatically affect the distribution of
information necessary to promoting sustainability.
Moratorium
On Al Gore Film Sparks Controversy – Massive
debates occurred in the Federal Way school district
between parents and teachers after parents objected
to screenings of An Inconvenient Truth during
school
hours.
