Building With Wood Reduces and Even Mitigates CO2 Emissions: A Good Response to Effects of Climate Change
The choices we make about the materials used as we develop the built environment have long-term effects on our society and the environment. Choose wood. It's beautiful, strong, versatile and renewable. With innovations in wood technologies, wood is now the wisest choice for more and more building applications, including mid-rise and even high-rise structures.
Chatham Conservation Partnership July 21st Meeting
Topics will be Chatham Park: Additional Element-Open Space, Pittsboro UDO: Natural Resource Conservation Overlay District, and Open Space in Chatham County Comprehensive Planning Process. A full agenda for the meeting is available at the CCP wiki: https://chathamconservation.wikispaces.com/Upcoming+Meetings
The Chatham Conservation Partnership has created an innovative tool, the Comprehensive Conservation Plan, to help with land protection and development decisions in Chatham County. This plan is the first of its kind created for a county in North Carolina. The final Plan, including appendices and maps, can be accessed by visiting the Comprehensive Conservation Plan page.
Its the End of Water as we Know It | Seth Darling | TEDxSavannah
We are witnessing the end of the golden age of water. Freshwater was once abundant, cheap and safe for humans, but that is changing rapidly. Couple that with the fact that over the next 35 years, the world’s demand for water will rise by 55 percent, and it’s no wonder that water technology and management figure to shape the 21st century much like oil conflicts influenced the 20th century.
Seth B. Darling is a scientist at Argonne National Laboratory and a fellow at the Institute for Molecular Engineering at the University of Chicago. After receiving his PhD from the University of Chicago and serving as the Glenn Seaborg Fellow at Argonne, Dr. Darling joined the Center for Nanoscale Materials at Argonne as a staff scientist. His group’s research is motivated by humankind’s grand challenges with a particular emphasis on solar energy and water treatment. Dr. Darling has published over 100 papers and a popular book on climate change, holds several patents, and lectures widely on topics related to energy, climate, and water.

Historic 2012 Turnaround by Outspoken Former Global Warming Skeptical Scientist
In 2012, after years of denying global warming and following a careful new study of the data, physicist Richard Muller announced that "global warming is real and humans are almost entirely the cause." The admission by Muller, a professor of physics at the University of California, Berkeley and founder of the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature project, gained additional attention because some of his research has been funded by Charles Koch of the Koch Brothers, the right-wing billionaire known for funding climate skeptic groups like the Heartland Institute. "We can make the scientific case more solidly than had been made in the past," Muller claims. "I think this does say we do need to take action, we do need to do something about it."
