		<description><![CDATA[The &#8220;21st century&#8221; always sounded like a futuristic utopia to me as a child. Being in my late twenties now, I was certainly still a child when the tired 20th century finally gave up the ghost, but the utopia I had always imagined springing forth didn&#8217;t seem to be anywhere I looked. In fact, this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A year ago yesterday the explosion that caused the Deepwater Horizon oil spill rocked the Gulf of Mexico and the infamous pipeline began spewing death into our waters for nearly 5 months. The consequences of this tragedy cannot be fully understood just yet and I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll all see and hear horror stories resulting from [...]]]></description>

Those working courageously around the clock in incredibly dangerous conditions may avert further disaster but let&#8217;s look at the situation as it currently stands. While reading about these [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been watching a bunch of the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts&#8217; videos lately, and I especially have been enjoying their animated lectures. There&#8217;s one narrated by Jeremy Rifkin that talks about the myths of human nature and the need to achieve an empathic civilization. It raises important issues about human consciousness and [...]]]></description>

That bullet is nuclear power. Seemingly ignoring perhaps the best opportunity to make the case for transforming our [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While I was reading about this disastrous oil spill last week, I really thought that this would be all the proof needed to show the country and most importantly our president that the idea of expanding our offshore drilling is nothing short of stupid. Personally, I loved the Huffington Post&#8217;s headline of &#8220;SPILL BABY SPILL&#8221; [...]]]></description>
