NOTE: Patricia is taking a hiatus from this
blog to focus on other projects, but will possibly return at some
point in the future!
Back entries are below.

Welcome to my EcoNews Blog! Here I offer excerpts of key articles that help shine a light on vital current issues. This makes it easy for you to keep informed, without reading all that I do on these topics. I especially cover these topics: the environment, peak oil, global warming, personal and community health, toxics, organics, true democracy, and building community. If an item interests you, just click on the link to get more information. Plus I include a little personal commentary along the way!
>> WHO AM I? I'm a professional writer specializing in environmental issues. I do this blog as a free community service to support folks in being part of the solution and helping to create a better world. I hope this helps you keep up with key items in the news - and in seeing behind the headlines to the under-reported facts and underlying trends.
>> BOOKMARK IT AND RETURN! If you find this information useful, please consider bookmarking this page, letting other folks know about it, and/or linking to it from your website. Also feel free to send me links to your suggested stories for this page.
>> BE INFORMED OF UPDATES. If you'd like to be informed when I do updates of this blog (which I tend to do in batches), just email that request to info[at]healthyworld.org. Be assured that I won't use your email address for any other purpose. Please put "EcoNews Blog Updates" in the subject line.
Please let me know if you read this and find it valuable. That encourages me to continue this effort!
May this blog serve our shared wishes for a healthier world for all.
NOTES:
* Feel free to skim, to those articles that interest you
most!
* Look for the
symbol
to see the stories I've added most recently. I've put these items
in chronological order, even going back in time (like magic!).
* These stories (with excerpted text) are selected from a variety
of news sources around the country and the world and are
presented for educational purposes only.
* Sometimes pages will expire. I don't keep checking the links
on this page. If you find an expired link, just Google a unique
phrase in the article to see if there's another copy online.
* For information organized by topic, about these core topics
and related key issues, see <www.healthyworld.org/information.html>.
