We’re excited to offer ten lucky Ecocentric readers a free download of "WATERSHED," a film narrated by Robert Redford about the threats to the once-mighty Colorado River.
Ecocentric's Kyle Rabin is moderating a panel at the Brooklyn Food Conference today on the interrelated nature of food, water and energy systems, so we thought we'd share some facts with our readers who aren't able to attend.
In her new movie "Last Call at the Oasis," Oscar-winning filmmaker Jessica Yu trains her lens on the world water crisis, with a particular emphasis on the United States – a nation that is little aware of its burgeoning water quality and quantity problems.
For Earth Day we highlight the differences between the environmental challenges of 70s and now through photos taken then and now. Nowadays, it's what you don't see that can cause all the problems.
The southwestern Florida coast is beautiful, but awfully flat. That leaves this stretch of coast, along with much of America's shore, susceptible to increasing sea level rise, as a new interactive flood map makes all too clear.
