Issue: September 02, 2010
Hello SN&R readers!
Congress did exactly nothing to address global warming in its recent energy bill. What were they waiting for?! Our response: In this week’s SN&R, noted author and climate activist Bill McKibben writes a Call To Action and exhorts regular people to help build a movement to fight this crucial battle. Elsewhere in our pages, Second Saturday’s kids are alright, bed bugs go viral and Anthony Bourdain gets his foodie on!
