Down to Earth: Andrea Treece on West Coast Oceans Work
Earthjustice staffer Jessica Knoblauch speaks with Andrea Treece, an attorney who focuses on west coast issues as part of Earthjustice’s core oceans litigation team. Treece first started at Earthjustice as an intern for the Ocean Law Project. She now works on protecting forage fish species like herring, anchovies and sardines, which serve as the building blocks of the ocean food web and are being vacuumed out of the ocean at unsustainable levels.
Down to Earth: Roger Fleming on East Coast Oceans Work
Earthjustice staffer Jessica Knoblauch speaks with Roger Fleming, an Earthjustice attorney who focuses on east coast issues as part of a core oceans litigation team. Since 2007, Fleming has worked with local fishermen to promote healthy ocean ecosystems in New England, an area that is often referred to as the poster child for bad fisheries management. Over the years, Earthjustice has had a string of victories that have led to more sustainable fisheries on the east coast.
Down to Earth: Q&A With Photographer David Doubilet
Earthjustice staffer Jessica Knoblauch speaks with David Doubilet, an acclaimed underwater photographer for National Geographic. Doubilet has spent decades photographing underwater images and has seen first-hand how ocean stressors have negatively impacted the aquatic environment he loves. In this conversation, Doubilet speaks about the changes he’s seen to the ocean over the past twenty years, particularly the effects that climate change is having on coral reefs. He also discusses his time as an underwater photographer and explorer for National Geographic.
Arctic Ice Melt: Telepress Conference
On September 15, 2011, Earthjustice hosted a telepress conference with three of the leading research scientists on climate change, who spoke about the massive ice melt record, weather patterns and rising sea levels.
The Arctic: On Thin Ice
The lowest amounts of Arctic sea ice on record since satellite monitoring began in 1979 have all been recorded during the last six years. It’s possible to slow the pace of warming and melting in the Arctic in the near term by reducing emissions of soot and smog, which would have fast climate benefits.
Telebriefing: Natural Gas - The Inside Story
Deborah Goldberg, Managing Attorney at Earthjustice's Northeast Office and a nationally recognized expert on the environmental impacts of natural gas development, discusses Earthjustice's campaign to clean up and regulate the natural gas industry.
Second Highest Loss of Arctic Ice on Record
Human-caused climate change spurs massive Arctic ice cap melt
Arctic Ice Melt Second Highest in Recorded History

Alien Invasion: Attack of the Superweeds
Glyphosate, the main ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup herbicide, has spawned a new generation of superweeds that are spreading rapidly across the United States. Use an interactive map to find out where superweeds have made their appearance.
Down to Earth: Q&A with CSAW Project Director Gershon Cohen
Gershon Cohen, project director of the Campaign to Safeguard America’s Waters, speaks with Earthjustice staffer Jessica Knoblauch. For more than a decade, Cohen has been working to clean up the cruise ship industry, which routinely dumps wastewater pollution into national and international waterways. In June, Earthjustice, on behalf of conservation groups like Cohen’s, successfully defended an Alaskan ballot initiative that called for cruise ships to stop discharging waste into Alaska’s pristine waters.
Down to Earth: Q&A with CFS Attorney George Kimbrell
Earthjustice staffer Jessica Knoblauch speaks with George Kimbrell, a staff attorney at the Center for Food Safety. Kimbrell is currently serving as co-counsel in Earthjustice’s genetically modified sugar beet and alfalfa cases. In 2006, the Center for Food Safety challenged the USDA’s approval of genetically modified alfalfa, a case that went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and resulted in the ban of the GE crop.
Down to Earth: Q&A with Organic Farmer Frank Morton
Earthjustice staffer Jessica Knoblauch speaks with Frank Morton, an organic farmer who is a client member in Earthjustice’s Roundup Ready sugar beet case. Morton, a seed grower in the Willamette Valley, believes that the USDA’s approval of genetically engineered sugar beets poses a threat to his organic seed crop. Roundup Ready sugar beets are wind pollinators, which means that pollen from Roundup Ready beets could contaminate non-GE beets and other compatible species, such as red chard.
What's Asthma Like? Try Breathing Through a Straw
Sarah Bucic, props in hand, defends right to breathe before Congress
Down to Earth: Q&A with Pesticide Policy Expert Charles Benbrook
Earthjustice staffer Jessica Knoblauch speaks with Charles Benbrook, the chief scientist at The Organic Center. Benbrook is a pesticide policy expert and weed resistance specialist who has worked on agricultural policy, science and regulatory issues in Washington, D.C. The use of genetically engineered crops has spawned the creation of so-called "superweeds," which force farmers to use more toxic herbicides for weed control.
Down to Earth: Paul Achitoff on Genetically Engineered Crops
Earthjustice staffer Jessica Knoblauch speaks with Earthjustice attorney Paul Achitoff. Achitoff is currently challenging the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s decision to allow genetically engineered sugar beets and, more recently, genetically engineered alfalfa, on the market. Genetically engineered crops harm the environment by increasing pesticide use, creating pesticide-resistant superweeds and contaminating conventional and organic crops.
Engineering An Environmental Disaster
Our supermarkets are awash in genetically modified foods. Over the past decade, biotech companies like Monsanto have dominated dinner tables with crops like corn, soybeans and canola modified to survive lethal doses of herbicides, resulting in increased herbicide use, a surge in herbicide-resistant weeds, and the contamination of organic and conventional crops.

But climate change is now dramatically altering this region, one of America's last wild places.
Down to Earth: Tim Preso on Wildlife of the Crown of the Continent
Earthjustice is working to protect some of the threatened species in the Crown and elsewhere in the northern Rockies. Listen to Earthjustice Attorney Tim Preso speak about the importance of wolverines and other iconic wildlife to the region.
