Countdown to Copenhagen

In December 2009, leaders from across the world will meet in Copenhagen to establish a new climate protocol to succeed the famous Kyoto protocol (which the U.S. never signed). The outcome of this meeting will likely define the international stance on climate change and global warming for the coming decades. Not to get ahead of ourselves this year . . . but we at TERRA think this is the most important approaching environmental milestone of 2009 and the foundation for earnest change is already beginning. So, with this global spirit in mind, let's kick off the new year with some great environmental films and a newly-announced collaboration with the United Nations to continue bringing you fresh content from around the world. Don't change that dial! We've got an amazing slate of films for you in 2009 . . . a year that will be remembered for new beginnings based on sustainable values.

Amphibians are indicator species. Because of their sensitive permeable skin, scientists use amphibians to gauge the overall health of the worldwide ecosystem that we all share. So with nearly half of the world's amphibian populations in decline, we're all potentially in big trouble. But there are simple things you can start doing today to help.
