I'm very interested in environmental issues around the world, and will be posting regularly when I come across particularly interesting stories. As many environmental stories are, this one is sad and disheartening. After the great news about a huge new park in Brazil comes this news out of China about the 'functional' extinction of the baiji, or Chinese river dolphin.
Speaking of China, the Chicago Tribune is running an excellent series of articles about how cheap products from China (with the U.S. importing the bulk of these products) are having disastrous effects on the global environment. It talks of desertification in China, deforestation in Papua New Guinea, and China's unquenchable thirst for oil. It's is well worth the free registration to check out these articles.
