Yes, if we can get over our mistrust of each other. Many smart business leaders now realize that sustainability is good business. The opportunity is there for smart environmentalists to help shape the role played by corporations in advancing sustainability. But guess what? It doesn't work to hold your breath until you turn blue. You have to make a good case to get business leaders to tune in and join your conservation efforts. ... <a href="http://www.treehugger.com/files/2007/09/the_business_of_sustainability.php">Read the full story on TreeHugger</a>http://www.treehugger.com/files/2007/09/the_business_of_sustainability.phpWed, 26 Sep 2007 09:00:00 GMThttp://www.treehugger.com/files/2007/09/bristol_bay_mining.php<img alt="bristol bay salmon farmers" title="bristol bay salmon farmers" src="http://i.treehugger.com/images/2007/10/24/bristol%20bay%20salmon-jj-001.jpg" width="468" height="300" /> Things are big in Alaska, including environmental battles, and none are bigger than the one brewing in Bristol Bay. That's the Bristol Bay of salmon fame, home of the largest sockeye salmon fishery in the world. Mining interests want North America's biggest deposits of gold and copper, found upstream of Bristol Bay. To get it, they're hoping to build one of the world's biggest mines, and the project would include a number of huge dams. The money involved is staggering, $300 billion in ore deposits, and $450 million in annual revenue from salmon. Claims and counterclaims make decisions difficult. Mine proposals insist that we can have <a href="http://www.ndmpebblemine.com/">wealth-generating mines and salmon</a> too.

After lots of education and a stint as a university professor, he found new life as an advocate for protecting nature and using resources sustainably. As an itinerant conservationist, he's worked on rivers, lakes, forests, and oceans, trying to limit impacts from dams, logging, fishing, mining and irrigation. More and more he finds that conservation is a state of mind that takes root in many strange and wonderful places. Now with a real job, he's a Vice President with <a href="www.oceanconservancy.org">Ocean Conservancy</a> and he fogs the blogosphere at <a href="http://blogfishx.blogspot.com">blogfish</a>.... <a href="http://www.treehugger.com/files/2007/08/treehugger_welc_55.php">Read the full story on TreeHugger</a>http://www.treehugger.com/files/2007/08/treehugger_welc_55.phpMon, 20 Aug 2007 20:49:50 GMT
