December 2007
12.20.2007 A Walk in the Woods: An FSC Audit Up Close Jennifer Vogel Bass is the Rainforest Alliance’s communications manager for the United States and Canada. In October 2007, she traveled to northern Vermont to ride along on a Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) forest management assessment. Here, she recounts the experience. 12.17.2007 A Day at the Stone Ridge Orchard Last year, Rainforest Alliance staff had a chance to visit the Rodale Institute, an experimental farm in Berks County, PA. This time around, we traveled to Stone Ridge Orchard, a sustainable farm operating in the foothills of New York's scenic Catskill Mountains. 12.15.2007 Notes from the Bali Climate Change Conference (II) Even with the earth at stake -- to have any chance in minimizing extreme weather events or species loss we must reduce greenhouse gas emissions 80 percent by 2050 in order to avoid warming beyond 2 degrees Celsius -- it seemed nearly certain that the conference would collapse in failure with no road map for the critical next two years. 12.14.2007 Notes from the Bali Climate Change Conference The Conference of the Parties 13 (COP13) is the largest global meeting on climate change in history... There are mountains of formal and informal sessions for technical committees and country delegates, some open to the public, some behind closed doors... not to mention the many side events and unofficial gatherings at venues nearby. No additional blog entries were posted during the month. |
