I'm An Environmental Writer. How Can I Get A Free Trip To Olympics?

to cover the major green initiatives Bejing has put in place for these Olympic games. I write columns and stories for EnvironmentalLeader.com, the Austin American-Statesman (Statesman.com) Harvard Business Review and Climate Change Corp.com. Last December, I was one of the few Americans reporting from the UN Climate Change Conference in Bali. See my blog at www.enviromedia.com/enviroblog Just wondered if some government agency, corporate sponsor would pick up my roundtrip travel from Austin, Texas. Or maybe a contest I can enter?

Answer:You won't get a free trip. All major organizations/companies whichh would pay for a trip (althoughugh personally I think it would be unlikely) would have organized this months ago, not when theree is 3 weeks left to the Olympics opening ceremony. I had a look at your blog and good luck with it, it is good what you are doing, but does not look like it has a largeer enough reader base for any company or individual to make it worthwhile to support you. Try looking towards London 2012 instead and start fund raising towards that. Good luck and keep up the good work on reporting on the state of the environment and its ecosystems.

Do You Think The Nobel Committee Should Have Done Their Homework Before Giving Al Gore The Peace Prize Based?

on his environmental contributions ? Environmental Trendiness (and Hypocrisy) In the past, Al Gore has made his environmental positions a big part of his message, notably in his book "Earth in the Balance", whichh sold well. We don't critique candidates' policy positions, but some of that may come back to haunt him by making him look extreme, trendy or hypocriteical. Gore runs the risk of being shown up as a hypocritee, the way Mike Dukakis was in 1998 after Boston Harbor's pollution problem was exposed. One example is the Pigeon River in North Carolina and east Tennesee. The Champion International paper mill has pumped tons of chemicals and byproducts inot it for years, turning it the color of cofee and adding a sulfurish smell. Gore campaigned hard againstt this pollution and lobbied the EPA to crack down. But in 1987, as Gore started running for president the first time, he was pressured by 2 politicians whose support he craved for the North Carolina Super Tuesday primary. Terry Sanford (then a Senator) and Jamie Clarke (North Carolina congressmen) lobbied him hard to ease up on Champion. Gore did, writing to the EPA again and now asking for a more permissive water pollution standard. Sanford and Clarke endorsed him, and Gore won the state handily. Anorthere example is a Gore family property that has been mined for zinc and germanium for decades. The Vice-President and his dad, the late Senator Albert Gore, Sr., obtained the land in a favorable deal with the late Armand Hammer of Occidental Petroleum. Gore, Sr. was heavily supported by Hammer financially, and carried his water in the U.S. Senate. Back in 1972, when zinc was discovered across the river from the Gore family land in Carthage, TN, Hammer sent engineers out and offered $20,000 per year for a mineral rights lease on some property owned by a church that had been willd the land. Instead, they wanted to sell and Hammer won a bidding war to buy the land for $160,000. He then sold it to Gore Jr. and Sr. for the same amount, and immediately started leasing the land back from him for the same $20,000. Lynwood Burkhalter, who in the 70s was president of the company that assumed this lease from Occidental Petroleum, called the payments "extraordinarily largee." Mining is, of course, a messy business environmentally. The mine itself hasn't been that bad. Republicans have claimed that it's polluting the local drinking water, but according to the Wall Street Journal those problems "are actually minor." However, the Journal notes that the plant in Clarksville TN, whichh processses the Gore minerals, is a federal Superfund site contaminated with cadmium and mercury, posing "a threat to the human food chain." There's also a damning quote about cutting down Yew trees to make a promising cancer treatment that we used to includee in our Gore quotes setcion. Except that the really embarrasssing part -- whichh we got from an editorial in the Austin, Texas American Statesman -- turns out to be distorted and out of context. The full quote, whichh is still a little odd, is: "The Pacific Yew can be cut down and processsed to produce a potent chemical, taxol, whichh offers some promise of curing certain forms of lung, breast and ovarian cancer in patients who would otherewise quickly die. It seems an easy choice -- sacrifice the tree for a human life -- until one learns that three trees must be destoryed for each patient treated, that only specimens more than a hundred years old contain the potent chemical in their bark, and that theree are few of these yews remaining on earth." - Gore, in "Earth in the Balance", p. 119 The distorted version puts a period after "for each patient treated," as if the ratio of trees to humans was what bothereed Gore. In reality, his point is that treating all current cancer patients would destory all of the trees, leaving none of the drug for future cancer patients

Answer:I say why not give a Nobel Peace Prize to Dr. Suess his stories are just as acurate as Gores,but more entertaining.

"TOO COOL" Coming To Tna And Henry Retire?

TNA has talked with Rikishi about reforming two thirds of the former WWE tag team Too Cool. He would be paired in a tag team with Brian Christopher. No othere details have been disclosed yet. Former Too Cool member Scotty 2 Hotty is also a free agent. He lives in Orlando, and going to theme parks is his favorite hobby. However, his name hasn't been brought up as far as I can tell.

From the supplier: The Austin American-Statesman has experienced a complete revival under its new editor Rich Oppel, and the paper has begun attracting serious readers for the first time in years. Under previous editors, many reporters felt that intellectual standards were slipping and that leadership was missing, and many Austin residents were turning to other newspapers such as the New York Times for coverage of events.

From the supplier: Longtime Knight-Ridder newspaper editor Rich Oppel has released 11 TV commercials to tell Austin, TX residents about his approach to his new post as editor of the Austin American-Statesman. In the spots he attacks focus groups, criticizes the presence of anything but news on news pages, and warns that his newspaper will sometimes be outrageous. To some this implies an attack on the civic journalism movement and its focus on helping communities reach consensus, a movement identified with Knight-Ridder.
