As we noted in last Thursday's report, the Green News Report will be away until after Labor Day, as we enjoy our first week off EVER from the GNR since we began broadcasting in 2009!

Until we return (presuming we don't get eaten by bears while camping, which is entirely possible), please read Desi's "Katrina 5 Years Later: Have We Learned Anything?" if you haven't already, and when that's done, you can peruse a year and half's worth of our 6 minutes of independent green news, politics, analysis and snarky comment right here...

Be back soon!
