POPS Sarah and the Earth--Incompatible Her deplorable environmental record was such common knowledge that John McCain couldn't have missed it, even if he napped through his vetting committee's report. So if the McCain/Palin ticket is elected, you should know what to expect. Although John McCain may once have openly refused to subscribe to the beliefs of the Republican Party's religious right, famously describing them as "agents of intolerance," his selection of Sarah Palin is a message (and not just to the party's fundamentalist right): If you thought that he understands the need to kick our fossil-fuel addiction and address global warming, if you believed his promises to build a green economy, forget about it. A McCain/Palin administration, just like the one before it, will continue -- and this is the best-case scenario -- to fiddle while the planet burns.

POPSThe $600 Million Bridge to Somewhere (Wasilla), Palin Supports The "bridge to nowhere" got lots of attention, while this one is getting a pass. Now is this 'ear-marked' and 'pork-barrel spending' too, or not? It is Palin's home town, so likely that is why she supports it. Amazing what is justified when self-interest takes hold, isn't it? Wasilla is not "nowhere", for it boasts 7,000 residents.

POPSWolves, Whales and Warming in Alaska Whales Beluga Whale, U.S. Navy Conserving Cook Inlet Belugas You can help conservation efforts! Defenders will soon be launching a Cook Inlet Beluga Citizen Scientist program to monitor beluga sightings in and around Anchorage. Email Karla Dutton at KDutton@Defenders.org if you’re interested in helping out! We’re also fighting to make sure belugas are protected against the construction of the Knik Arm Bridge, one of the famous pork-barrel Bridges to Nowhere.

POPSProtect Bristol Bay, Alaska from Dirty Gold!
5 of the nation's leading jewelry retailers support the protection of Alaska's Bristol Bay from large-scale metals mining. A Canadian mining corporation wants to create one of North America’s largest open pit gold-copper mines, the proposed Pebble Mine, in the headwaters of Bristol Bay: a pit 2.5 miles wide and a toxic lagoon almost 20 square miles. The "No Dirty Gold" campaign lists the "Golden Rules" for responsible mining: basic standards to insure gold is not produced at the expense of communities, the workers, and the environment The hard-rock mining industry is the single largest source of toxic releases in the US and this industry has caused enormous damage to rivers and fisheries around the world. Native villages of Bristol Bay harvest fish and game to support their lifestyle. Bristol Bay is also home to populations of moose, seal, walrus, grizzly, brown, and black bear, beaver, wolverine, bald eagle, caribou, beluga and killer whale, wolves, and more!

POPSbloody huge kites to pull bloody big boats Though freight ships are the world's most important commercial transport method, carrying 90 percent of all traded goods, they were excluded from the UN's climate agreement, the Kyoto Protocol. Experts have advocated that the industry -- which produced 5 percent of the world's total carbon emissions -- be included in the successor treaty, to take effect after Kyoto expires in 2012.

POPS17 Foods To Try Before You Die My list wouldn't look like that a bit. (No Foie Gras! *shudder*) My list would have to include caviar. I've tried Beluga Caviar once and it really was all it's cracked up to be. The roe sort of pops in your mouth in the most exquisite bubbly sort of way. It waaay surpassed my wildest expectations. If it wasn't because the fish is going extinct, I would say everyone should try it at least once in their life. (Stay away from Foie Gras... it is ethically reprehensible)
