		<title>Doing Something About Climate Change</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Author and activist Bill McKibben and his grassroots 350.org team are urging us all to, like McKibben, "get mad and then get busy" on October 10.

		<title>Avoid Invasive Species by Planting Native</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Gardeners and farmers like to move plants to new locations for cultivation as crops or as ornamentals (or transport them by accident).
