There is an excellent primer-type article profiling 28 "warriors and heroes" fighting global warming in today's Salon.com. The article, titled, "Climate Warriors and Heroes" also contains a link to a special essay written by Al Gore on the importance of facing up to facts and getting down to business. If you aren't a subscriber, you can still get in by sitting through an Infiniti commercial to obtain a site pass. It's worth it just to pause for a moment and consider the notion that an automobile company is backing a global warming article.
There are many warriors and heroes left out of this piece, of course. Go to the comments section and make your voice heard. Michael Shellenberger and Ted Nordhaus were omitted, which seems a bit strange. Would have made it a perfect 30.
There are also no pioneers of waste reduction and/or recycling gurus listed in this crew. This may be a function of the diffused, regional nature of this field, but I would vote for either Neil Seldman and David Morris of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, or John Casella, President of Casella Waste Systems who has dedicated his company to high-quality recycling services in a number of strategic markets throughout the country.
