Some of today's environmental news

So, I'll try and put up a few more links today and find some photos that I can attach that might be useful or goodlooking, without stealing bandwidth from others.

Anyway, I wanted to highlight the link to this story, appearing on the BBC website today:

'New Environment Chief Targets Poverty' by Richard Black, environment correspondent.

Also appearing today is this story:
Labouring for a greener planet
It is an interesting piece and focuses on Klaus Töpfer, who is Germany's former environment minister and now the Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme (Unep). He argues that Greens show more concern for animal habitats than they do for workers' conditions and living standards. He believes that the trade union movement should be key in constructing a greener, cleaner, fairer Earth.

I'll write more later, and try and post some more of the relevant stories and articles I've been flicking through today.
