On March 11th (40 days before the 40th Earth Day), The Wilderness Society and a broad group of citizens and organizations began counting down to Earth Day 2010 with an eye on action, not celebration. The ...
The Wilderness Society 2010 marks 40 years of Earth Day. Our former counselor and founder of Earth Day, Senator Gaylord Nelson, would likely agree that this year we can and should do more. Perhaps a Clean Energy Revolution! Check it out.

On the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day, planting a tree is not enough. It's time for a clean energy revolution. Patriots needed.
The Wilderness Society Let's say you could do one little but very powerful thing for the environment this weekend (even today). How about using it to help the towering trees of America's rainforest... the Tongass National Forest in Alaska. Thanks!

Centuries before chainsaws were invented and logging corporations founded, the towering trees of Alaska’s Tongass National Forest were growing. Trees that soar to the sky today were already shooting into adolescence when Columbus sailed the seas.
The Wilderness Society JP knows climate issues and has been blogging on the subject for a while. New post digs into what's up with Senator Murkowski's work on the "Dirty Air Act" restricting the EPA's ability to clean the air.

A few weeks ago I discussed a pending threat from Sen. Murkowski, and it looks like time is short. As you’ll recall, this should-be/ would-be climate champ is leading the charge to prevent the EPA from moving ahead on climate action. ...

Ever hear the old adage that trees are the “lungs of the earth?” It creates an awesome visual and brings a human element to the towering giants that fill our forests. But did you know that forests in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast Alaska are among the Earth’s strongest “lungs?”
The Wilderness Society Market forces driving downturn in oil and gas drilling. Not regulations. Not efforts to protect wildlife, clean air and drinking water.

Climate change, ecology, nature, environment, eco-friendly politics, non-profit projects, human rights, preservation, wildlife... all that we care about.
The Wilderness Society Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge really is a place like no other. Grizzlies, caribou and wolves are just a few of the more than 200 wildlife species that call the area home. Take a moment to help ensure the refuge remains wild and be sure to let friends know.

With Arctic Alaska firmly in the sights of aggressive oil companies, our wilderness proposal for the Arctic Refuge is more important than ever. And what could be more fitting than that Congress pass wilderness protection in this, the 50th anniversary of the Refuge's founding?
The Wilderness Society What is America's vision for its national forests? What do we want our children to find and do outdoors. We're taking a look at our ideas for the future and hope you will share your thoughts and ideas.

Feb. 16 was one of the proudest days in my 25 years working for The Wilderness Society. That was the day we completed and sent to the U.S. Forest Service a 95-page comment letter that represents our best ...
The Wilderness Society Not as clean as you think... As many out there rave about "clean" natural gas it is critical to take a look at the impact gas drilling has on land, wildlife, air quality, drinking water and more.

Much ink has been spilled regarding the clean properties of natural gas, such as this recent ad by America’s Natural Gas Alliance. Advocates of increased natural gas development love to say that it is cleaner than coal, abundant, and a so-called “bridge fuel” in the transition to renewable energy.
The Wilderness Society Less oil and gas drilling on public lands? It's about the economics, not the regulations.

Oil and gas drillers haven't been pushed off federal lands by the Obama administration, an environmental group contends, so m...

Sen. Mark Udall isn't ready to give up on passing a climate bill this year, and he wants an aggressive renewable energy standard.
The Wilderness Society Serious proposals floating around to create two new national monuments in Utah. Great idea and awe-inspiring lands. Some controversy swirls, however.

The Wilderness Society Avatar is the hot movie of 2010 but it also has a less noticed message: caring for our planet and natural resources. What's one of your favorite movies that also conveys a love for the outdoors?

James Cameron’s latest movie, “Avatar,” is affecting America far more than a nation-wide increase of popcorn sales. There are plenty of reasons why this is the highest grossing film of all time, but I’m ...
