From the Environmental and Conservation Organization of Hendersonville:
ECO, the Environmental and Conservation Organization, is offering local residents some gift ideas that not only show a loved one that you care, but offers them the gift of protecting our sacred natural resources. Rather than buying family and friends more “stuff”, why not consider making a donation to protect our streams, support green energy, promote recycling and strong environmental policies by making a donation to ECO on their behalf. ECO will send them a beautiful holiday card with local nature photos from award-winning local photographer, Rob Travis printed by our own local green printer, HPC Printing.
Another gift idea is offering a loved one a heritage fruit or nut tree. ECO has just launched its annual heritage tree sale which includes heritage apple trees, American chestnuts, persimmons, peaches, blueberries and more. To purchase a tree for yourself or a loved one, or to take advantage of ECO’s alternative gift-giving opportunities, log onto to ECO’s website at www.eco-wnc.org or call ECO at (828) 692-0385.
For nearly 25 years, ECO has been the preeminent organization in WNC working to protect our natural heritage. Happy Holidays!

Too little, too late. From a just released federal report on the Arctic:
"WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal officials say the Arctic region has changed dramatically in the past five years — for the worse.
It's melting at a near record pace, and it's darkening and absorbing too much of the sun's heat.
A new report card from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration gives the polar region close to failing grades. It faults both global warming and recent localized weather shifts.
A NASA satellite found that 430 billion metric tons of ice melted in Greenland from 2010 to 2011, and the melting is accelerating.
What's even more troubling to scientists is that there's been a record darkening of the normally white Arctic land and sea. White snow and ice reflects solar energy, but a melting darker Arctic in the summer absorbs that heat."
