Wolverines set to get federal protection
Dec 14, 2010
Much attention has been paid to giant pandas, one of the cutest animals considered to be endangered at the moment. However, it looks as though another creature will soon be getting government protection as well.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing that wolverines be covered under the Endangered Species Act.
"The threats to the wolverine are long-term due to the impacts of climate change on their denning habitat, especially important to assist the species in successfully reproducing," said Steve Guertin, the service's director of its Mountain-Prairie Region.
The animals mostly exist in the North Cascades Range of Washington and Montana, Idaho and Wyoming in the Northern Rocky Mountains. There is also just one known wolverine who currently resides in the Sierra Nevada area.
According to its website, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service works to preserve, protect and enhance wildlife, fish and plants. They also aim to help creatures in their natural habitats, which well in turn enhance the lives of the American people.

There are a number of ways to save water and they all start with you.� According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the average American uses about 50 gallons of water per day at home. That means a family of four uses approximately 6,000 gallons a month. The following tips can help you save water, money and the environment.�
1. How to be green and clean your driving machine
Keeping your car clean with regular washing is an important part of responsible maintenance, but washing at home with a garden hose can use more than 60 gallons in as little as five minutes.� Furthermore, you're putting harmful chemicals and detergents down drains and directly into your city's water supply.
You may be surprised to learn there is a greener way to keep your car sparkling: a professional car wash. A common misconception is that professional car washes waste water, when in fact the opposite is true. WaterSavers professional car washes, for example, use an average of no more than 40 gallons of fresh water per vehicle – less than the average home washing machine, which uses 41 gallons per load, according to the EPA. According to the International Carwash Association(R), professional car washes also responsibly dispose of – and in many cases recycle and re-use – the water runoff. �For more information, visit WashWithWaterSavers.com.
2. Go green and keep your whites white
It's easy to take steps to conserve H2O and keep your wardrobe fresh. First, only run the clothes washer when you have a full load. Make this habit for both your clothes washer and dishwasher, and you could save up to 1,000 gallons of water a month, according to Wateruseitwisely.com.
You get extra green points if you use cold water when washing your clothes. Approximately 86 percent of the energy used by washing machines is for heating the water. Washing with cold water eliminates 1,600 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions each year from just one household, according to the Sierra Club.
3. Break bad bathroom habits�
Bathrooms are water hogs, accounting for about 75 percent of a home's water usage. Adopting a green mindset in the bathroom can save major water and money. Start by switching to a low-flow showerhead, which National Geographic says saves 15 gallons of water during a 10-minute shower. Keep the occasional bath for a special treat because the average tub takes about 70 gallons to fill, so showers are much more efficient.
Toilets are another major water-waster. The current federal standard is 1.6 gallons of water per flush, so if you have an older toilet, it's time to upgrade. By replacing old toilets with WaterSense-labeled models, the average family reduces water used for toilets by 20 to 60 percent, or about 13,000 gallons of water and $110 in water costs per year.
4. Water down the drain
When washing dishes by hand, don't let the water run while rinsing. Fill one sink with wash water and the other with rinse water. And for cold drinks, keep a pitcher of water in the refrigerator instead of running the tap. This way, every drop goes down you and not the drain.
When watering your lawn or garden, it's best to do so in the morning or evening when temperatures are cooler to minimize evaporation. Also be sure to adjust sprinklers so only your lawn is watered and not the house, sidewalk or street. Be sure to monitor your water bill for unusually high use. Your bill and water meter are tools that can help you discover leaks.
These simple tips can help you green your household in just minutes. Not only are you helping Mother Earth, you'll be saving money too.

This charity Gala was held at the hotel Président Wilson, and for the evening 15 Christmas trees by various luxury brands have been designed : those have been auctionned during the night in order to raise funds for the association. Among the trees, were ones created by Jean-Paul Gautier, Fendi or Chanel and each tree came with a special present. I was impressed to see that everybody played the game and donated what they could. Either buy a little bracelet or support one child for a year, each and every participation means a lot. For the evening I decided to wear something very Chanel-like. My style has always been very chic and classic, I couldn't feel better in any other outfit. This felt like the perfect combination of elegance and glamour.

American Art Staircase Baluster Designed in Chicago, Illinois, United States, North and Central America1899-1904 Designed by Louis Sullivan, American, 1856 - 1924, and George Elmslie, American (born Scotland), 1871 - 1952. Made for the Schlesinger and Mayer Store, now Carson, Pirie, Scott and Company, Chicago. Copper-plated cast iron Currently not on view 1972-225-3 Gift of Carson, Pirie, Scott and Company through the Art Institute of Chicago, 1972 |
LabelThis baluster, one of a set, was created as part of the highly ornamented design for the Schlesinger and Mayer (now Carson, Pirie, Scott) department store in Chicago. The first department stores in the United States opened in the 1860s and their success brought intense competition, reflected in the extravagant buildings designed to house them. Architect Louis H. Sullivan designed the Schlesinger and Mayer store, which was particularly ornate and modern. Although much of the ornament was executed by George Elmslie, one of the Sullivan firm's designers, it adhered to Sullivan's sinuous, Art Nouveau style. |

American Art Saint George and the Dragon Possibly made in Córdova, New Mexico, United States, North and Central AmericaPossibly made in Truchas, New Mexico, United States, North and Central America c. 1955-60 Nicudemos Lopez, American (active Truchas, New Mexico), 1895 - 1983 Carved cottonwood, leather Currently not on view 1991-76-1 Anonymous gift in memory of Elizabeth Wheatley Bendiner, 1991 |
LabelNicudemos Lopez was born in the small village of Córdova (south of Taos), New Mexico, into a family of wood carvers whose descendants continue the tradition to this day. Distinct from the more elaborate style of painted bultos (carved saints) that developed in nineteenth-century New Mexico, the Córdova tradition relies on plain, unpainted wood surfaces, intricate chip-carving, and incised delicate patterns to create simplified forms that communicate a powerful presence.Nicudemos began carving in the 1930s, but stopped for a number of years while earning a living as a carpenter. He returned to carving in the mid-1950s and in the succeeding decade produced several versions of Saint George and the Dragon, as well as renditions of Michael the Archangel and the Dragon, and Adam and Eve in the Garden. |
