News & Media

DWSUWF presents The Golf War: SF Recreation & Parks Commission plays whack-a-mole with the Center for Biological Diversity posted at MW Mobile Blog. DWSUWF says, "The MSM get the participants of the San Francisco Sharp Park debate wrong, although the error is understandable. They present the antagonists in the simplest, most easily digestible form for the audience - Golfers vs. Environmentalists. In fact, if you look in detail at the issues in dispute, the debate is more accurately portrayed as Environmentalists vs. Environmentalists. Golfers are siding with those environmentalists that prioritize creating habitat for the San Francisco garter snake over those environmentalists favoring restoring the original salt water lagoon that existed before the the golf course, which, of course - would be poisonous to the snake and red-legged frog."

Sustainable Life Blog presents Plastic Bags posted at Sustainable Life Blog. This submission "details the new "evolve" plastic bags by ziploc, and attempts to decide if they are going to be better or worse for the environment."
