All manner of human creativity on display
David Ng is Director of the Advanced Molecular Biology Laboratory at the University of British Columbia - this is a just a fancier way of calling himself a science teacher.
Benjamin Cohen is an Asst. Professor of Science, Tech., and Society at the University of Virginia. He studies the place of S & T in environmental history, policy, and ethics. He also writes other stuff.

Want to fight global warming without changing anything about lifestyle?
Thinking Thomas Friedman and his astute "we don't have to change a thing, now let's go get 'em!" analysis is onto something, with Gore and Schwarzenegger? (But not with James Kunstler?)
Then "Tom the Dancing Bug" has a take on carbon offsets for you! It's at Salon (go here, and wait a sec for the ad, then you'll get to it).
YES! Send me a free issue of Seed.
If I like what I see, I'll receive 5 more issues (6 in all) for just $19.95. If I'm not completely satisfied, I'll simply write "cancel" on the invoice and owe nothing. The free issue is mine to keep.

Oh, that there could be all manner of moral markets - to the best of my knowledge, I've spent nigh on 35 years not killing anyone. Who could I sell that to? But then, according to Hobbes one cannot have any contracts without a power to enforce them, so how soon before we have to institute the karma police? (was that punchline too obvious? alas.)
