Weekly Green Round-Up: Alaska Edition
This week, I am blogging from Juneau, Alaska with a special round-up/aggregate of news and videos petaining to the environment on this side of the planet:
- TreeHugger.com reported on the legal settlement between the Secretary of the Interior, the Center for Biological Diversity, Greenpeace, and the NRDC to designate “critical habitat” for the endangered polar bear by March 31, 2010.
- Ecopreneurist.com introduced Toby Foster’s organic vodka, made from locally grown Alaska potatoes and glacier water, marketed under the name Permafrost vodka.
- Yahoo!Green re-posted this time-lapse video from The New York Times’ Dot Earth blog, which documents the erosion of the Alaskan coastline from late June to late July of 2008.

The Beluga whale was recently added to the list of endangered species in Alaska. Check out these adorable creatures in a video posted by GreenDaily.com.
