Is Virgin Paper Good for the Environment?

When it comes to paper, what qualifies as a
sustainable option can mean different things to
 different people. Some consumers prefer a product 
that contains high levels of post-consumer recycled 
material. Reusing the wood fiber helps extend the life 
of this valuable resource, while saving landfill space.
 For others, the social, environmental and economic 
requirements of third-party forest certification like the 
Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) assure responsible forest management practices were followed. To these consumers, independent certificate on is the best way to ensure the world’s forests remain for generations to come.

The Big Picture of Oil and Our Troubles by Leif Wenar

Introduction to Leif Wenar's speech (January 27th) based on his book, Blood Oil: Tyrants, Violence, and the Rules That Run the World. He sees a great opportunity for America, now, to stop buying stolen oil and other natural resources. We can lead the world by putting an end to the bad, old rule 'might makes right' in terms of oil and natural resources. All quite doable and with so many of the countries in the "Arc of Oil" in chaos and increasingly controlled by terrorists now is the time to act on principle, practice what we preach, and stop buying stolen oil. He makes a strong, inspirational argument for changing old, dysfunctional rules and living by our principles when it comes to oil and other natural resources.
