		<title>Birds and Bees for Biologists</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Below is an editorial that was published in the journal Conservation Biology. I had had a dream of publishing something about human population&#8217;s effect on the natural world in Conservation Biology for years. Two articles were rejected and I was dejected. Then the journal&#8217;s new editor, Erica Fleishman, gave me the opportunity I was hoping [...]]]></description>

		<title>Halloween—10-2011</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How will this Halloween be different from any other Halloween? A singular event will happen this October 31st. That is the day demographers predict a very special baby will be born—the Earth’s 7 billionth citizen! She will probably arrive in a developing country, because that is where most of the planet’s babies are born. What [...]]]></description>

		<title>Volunteer for Durango Nature Studies&#8211;9-2011</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I spent five minutes pulling the starter cord and adjusting the choke and throttle on the little pump without a whimper of a start. Then I realized that it would help to turn the switch to “on”. In addition to the Four Corners Folk Festival, I spent much of this past Labor Day weekend at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Consume Less&#8211;8-2011</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is something you can do that is likely to make you happier, healthier, save money and lessen your impact on the planet. What is it? Consume less by practicing simpler living. I usually focus on human population growth, but consumption is an issue that affects our impact on the planet just as much. A [...]]]></description>

		<title>Green Burial-7-2011</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“…for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.” Genesis 3:19 This has been a sad spring for me, first with the death of a friend, then of my only sibling, my sister Clara. Both these people chose cremation for disposal of their remains. I want to explore the way I hope to be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Remember Red (and why population matters to me)-6-2011</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“Speak Truth to Power” Saying of the Religious Society of Friends &#160; Leonard “Red” Bird was one of the first people we met after moving to Durango in 1976; he sold us an old Scout. Earlier this month our community said good-bye to him in a stirring memorial service. For years I held Red up [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mourn—5-2011</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One morning last month I was on my back with a needle in my arm donating blood when my cell phone rang. It was news that my sister had been hospitalized in New Jersey with internal bleeding. She had received four units of blood. Fortunately I was able to head east a couple of days [...]]]></description>

		<title>Honor Girls&#8211;4-2011</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I noted that Mrs. Lee was early in her third pregnancy when I was getting ready to see her in the office. “How are you today?” I asked “Very well, thank you. The morning sickness is getting better,” was her accented reply. My examination showed that the size of her uterus was compatible with her [...]]]></description>

		<title>Grieve Appropriately</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a difficult time for environmentalists. The carbon dioxide level is rising faster than ever, the human population is still growing, measures of environmental quality are deteriorating—and almost no one seems to care. Don’t look to politicians for help. We cannot rely on people whose term in office is just a few years to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Two articles published in 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For years one of my goals was to have an article published in Conservation Biology, an international biological journal. It only seemed right that conservation biologists, who focus on the loss of species, should know about and try to decrease the cause of loss of biological diversity. Yet this prestigious journal seemed to ignore the [...]]]></description>
