  What Is an Environmentalist?
An innocent little encounter with some well-intentioned and good-hearted college students lead both Obbie and RoZ into rants on the meaning of environmentalism... From there, we share some recycling tips, and whinge on the lack of recycling opportunities in a city with a trash-burning power plant.
  Kenn Maly on Sustainability
Dr. Maly is a philosophy professor at the University of Wisconsin in La Crosse who teaches sustainability as part of that school's Environmental Studies program. The conversation ranges from the philosophical to the pragmatic.

by Aldo Leopold
