 Richard Kahn's Ecological Weblog
is back after a several month hiatus. Richard sorts through the many,
many sources of environmental and animal rights news, and separates the
news that is critical and actionable from that which is merely
depressing. But on top of that, Richard offers excellent analysis,
revealing what are meaningful advances and what are simply exercises in
hype. Recent topics:
- How 'national security' claims are blocking needed access to information about environmental accidents, abuses and risks
- Why Al Gore isn't the best or most credible Democratic spokesman on environmental issues
- Why the Democrats' New Apollo Alliance on renewable energy and innovation is wrong-headed
- How radical environmental protesters are getting longer prison sentences for property damage offenses than some murderers and rapists receive
If you're an environmentalist and haven't the time (or can't bear) to
read all the environmental news sources and blogs out there, checking
out Richard's blog regularly will ensure you stay on top of the really
important issues.

 Just
got back from the McMaster World Congress on Intellectual Capital and
Innovation, where I made two presentations. I'll have more to say about
the Congress in a few days. In the meantime, I welcome any Congress
attendees that have found their way to How to Save the World. I'd like to direct them to:
- The Table of Contents of Business Innovation, Entrepreneurship & Knowledge Management posts near the top of the left sidebar
- The links to my McMaster papers on the Future of KM and the Next Economy,
in downloadable Word format, also found in the left sidebar (my regular
blog readers will have already read versions of these in my daily
posts), and
- The section entitled Business/KM Blogs under Blogs &
Resources I Read, further down in the left sidebar, containing links to
the weblogs of about 40 leading thinkers on Business, Social
Networking, Innovation and Knowledge Management. Happy reading and congratulations on a great event.
