With Proposed Rail Expansion, Northwest Confronts Its Clean Image
2013-08-20 05:36:15| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: The Pacific Northwests sense of itself can sometimes seem green to the point of parody: a medium-roast blend of piney peaks and urban cool, populated by residents who look descended from lumberjacks or fishermen.
