Web-Based Sources for Environmental News

I maintain four e-mail lists for environmental news-related stories I find interesting.  One is called Environmental Ecology News, another is called Sustainability Planning News, a third focuses on International Development and a fourth deals with Air Quality Planning.  There is also a list focused on the Precautionary Principle, and one called A Post-Corporate World.  All of these are sited within Yahoo Groups, and have accessible and searchable archives.


The Environmental News Network
maintains a subscribable e-mail news service.

Envirolink
has a similar, but free, e-mail update news service.

The Bonda Report
is a portal that synthesizes environmental news from a wide range of sources, and also links to various organizations involved in sustainability.

The British Broadcasting Corporation
maintains a site with science and nature news.

The New York Times
has a similar site, with science-based news and an e-mail notification service.

The Los Angeles Times
lists science and environmentally-oriented stories.

Faultline
, the California-oriented Environmental magazine also has a susbscribable e-mail news service.

Greenbiz
, an environmental resource to corporate-based sustainability efforts, maintains a newsletter with an e-mail delivery option.

Grist Magazine
("doom and gloom with a sense of humor") tracks its own particular brand of environmental news, with links to originating news sources and their own op ed style takes on issues.

Sprawlwatch
, a news service focused on urban growth issues, has a subscribable e-mail newsletter as well.

Island Press
maintains an internet guide to environmental information linked (not surprisingly) to books it publishes, with an e-mail newsletter called Eco Compass.

PLANetizen
delivers planning and development-oriented news.

Some urban planning and development news can be found at Urban Insight
.

Smart Growth-related news is available in periodic e-mail updates from the Smart Growth Network
, a partnership of government, business and civic organizations that support smart growth. Since its creation in late 1996, the Network has become a storehouse of knowledge about smart growth principles, facilitating the sharing of best practices and acting as a catalyst for implementation of ideas.
