| posted on Tuesday, August 19, 2008
|

Over the past two or three decades, scientists have noticed with

Environment Program (UNEP) took stock of the phenomenon -- which is
caused in large part by agricultural runoff -- and pronounced it one of
the biggest environmental problems of the 21st century. Two years later

Ryan Mickle... [is] tired with what he calls an
“incremental approach to addressing climate change,” he wants to make
sure nobody else makes the same mistake he did: buying an inefficient
car totally unsuited to his needs. A self-professed “believer in the
wisdom of the crowd,” he launched onefewer.org
<http://onefewer.com/> to let online voters decide the fate of
