To Emit Is Human; To Regulate, Divine: Statutory Interpretation Of The Clean Air Act In Massachusetts V. Environmental Protection Agency, 127 S. Ct. 1438 (2007), Kathryn Hurie

Southern Illinois University Law Journal

Whether global warming is scientific fact or mere conjecture, Massachusetts v. Environmental Protection Agency is the quintessential case regarding the future of air pollution regulation. In this case, the Supreme Court held that the Environmental Protection Agency must make a ruling as to whether carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases constitute air pollutants. If so, the Clean Air Act requires the EPA to regulate emissions of such gases from new motor vehicles. If not, the EPA can avoid regulation of such emissions. 
Regardless of its findings, the EPA can no longer refuse to make a determination. This Casenote argues carbon …

Building A Multi-Generational Volunteer Base: Understanding How Human Development Impacts Volunteer Service, Ken Culp Iii

Journal of Extension

Extension professionals seeking to recruit multi-generational volunteers face several challenges, including understanding human development across the life span, recruiting different age groups for volunteer roles, and developing volunteer roles for people with different developmental needs. Engaging an age-diverse volunteer pool will benefit the organization, its clientele and volunteers. Extension professionals should consider creating specific roles for multi-generational volunteers. This should yield a broader cadre of recruits who are likely to be retained as they move through different developmental stages across the life span.

The Modern Community Garden Movement In The United States: Its Roots, Its Current Condition And Its Prospects For The Future, Joshua Birky

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Numerous researchers have shown that community gardens have the potential to eliminate social, communal, health, agricultural and economic problems that many in the United States and the rest of the world are facing. Yet, throughout history allotment and community gardens have been seen as improper elements of urban landscapes and used predominately for crisis mitigation and not as sustainable solutions. This thesis shows that the current U.S. community garden movement is inherently different than past unsustainable movements and may establish community gardens as sustainable features of many municipalities in the U.S. This is because the modern U.S. movement is supported …
