Check out the new blog Environment21 from Prof. Don Smith, Director of the Environmental, Natural Resources Law & Policy Graduate Program (ENRLP). Focusing on current issues concerning the environment, this is a great site to keep up what is happening locally, domestically, and internationally. Prof. Smith provides links to new research being published in many areas of environmental law as well as newspapers, journal articles and relevant legislation. Look for stories about your classmates and their accomplishments, too. You will also get the benefit of Prof. Smith’s views on some of the topics on which he posts. Research-oriented readers will also appreciate the “labels” links at the end of the posts which allow you to easily find other articles posted on that topic.
If you are taking classes in any area concerning the environment: energy, water, air, sustainability, climate change, mining, you will be glad you took the time to check out this great new resource!
