Climate Reflections

Earth Day Editorials in the Boston Globe urge national leadership to deal with climate crisis.

An Earth Day editorial in the Norwell Mariner says we should all take action on global warming.

A two-part challenge to climate activists.

It's one of those stories that approached urban legend status. A woman in Maine, Brandy Bridges, broke a CFL on the carpet of her daughter's room. Her simple questions to the Maine DEP about how to clean up the bulb (and the $2000 clean-up cost she was quoted by a private remediation firm) have resulted in a year-long study by Maine DEP and a new set of recommendations for cleaning up broken CFLs.

Does anyone really like February? March holds promise of spring, and in January you're not yet so tired of winter.  What better way to break out of a late-winter funk than with a good event or two?
