Out in the wide world: Fracking
http://outinthewideworld.blogspot.com/2012/03/fracking.html
Out in the wide world. Tuesday, March 6, 2012. I haven't posted in a year, so it's time to either revive this blog- or bury it. Think I'll bring it back. Two weeks ago I published a syndicated editorial on fracking through Blue Ridge Press (BRP). I learned a number of startling things while researching the piece- and after it was in print. I discovered while interviewing Sharon Wilson, a regional coordinator for Earthworks. While researching this story I also learned how much money the natural gas indust...

Out in the wide world: September 2010
http://outinthewideworld.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Out in the wide world. Tuesday, September 21, 2010. This "flooded landscape" is as dry as it ever gets, the rivers down some 12 to 15 feet. It's the end of the dry season amidst the worst drought in 40 years. The profusion of wildlife here is stunning- and it's all drawn down to the river at this time of year. I've seen my first-ever jaguars, something I've dreamt of since I first stepped foot into Latin American rain forests two decades ago. This is the only place to see these elusive animals.

Out in the wide world: July 2009
http://outinthewideworld.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Out in the wide world. Saturday, July 25, 2009. Drugs, guns, gangs- and turtles. It is wild here, the stories are intense. Guns and drugs, lots of both. Hit the ground running yesterday- 4:30 rise, drove across the country and got on a Navy gunboat to explore a deserted island for hawksbill turtle nests- with an armed soldier. The big issue here is dodging the drug traffickers- some beaches and islands are totally off-limits. The police won't even enter these areas. Links to this post. Also had some pers...

Out in the wide world: December 2009
http://outinthewideworld.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Out in the wide world. Tuesday, December 22, 2009. The avalanche of plastic that is being produced, used and discarded across the planet has grown exponentially since these polymers first became popular during the 1950s. But this is one problem that we can truly address as individuals- though we also need to push for regulation to protect both our own health and that of a planet that is drowning in plastic. Check out my editorial " Solutions Exist for Taming the Plastic Monster. Not my title.).

Out in the wide world: Dirty Water
http://outinthewideworld.blogspot.com/2010/07/dirty-water.html
Out in the wide world. Wednesday, July 14, 2010. This is from my article "Dirty Water: India and China share a grave environmental problem—extreme water pollution" that was just published in Scientific American Lives- a special issue that launched a new magazine. To read the rest of the story, click on the title to this post. At the “burning ghats,” flames consume the bodies of the dead: Hindus believe casting their remains into the Ganges guides their souls to heaven. To them, this river...Elephant seal...

Out in the wide world: November 2008
http://outinthewideworld.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Out in the wide world. Tuesday, November 25, 2008. November 7th, 2008, Thar desert, Rajastan. I love a man in a turban. On the way back to our lodgings I lounged on my back, rocking on a camel cart beneath a canopy of stars. The sand glowed under the hanging sickle moon, bells tinkled on the dromedary's ankles, and a chill breeze brought goosebumps to my sunburned skin. I live for this. Links to this post.
