Interesting Op-Ed in the Times by Jared Diamond (author of Guns, Germs, and Steel) about the exorbitant—and woefully unsustainable—levels of consumption in the developed world, especially the United States.
Also, here's a good Times editorial about the environmental agendas of the presidential candidates. Thankfully, these issues have garnered much more attention than they ever did in 2000 or 2004, but will widespread environmental concern just be a passing fad like it seems to have been in the 70s? Maybe the realities of global warming will make this time around very different.
