Suzanna Jones: S.101 increases risk of toxic spills into Vermont’s waterways

By Commentary

Apr 7 2021April 6, 2021

While the Senate was debating this bill, over a million gallons of “treated and partially treated” effluent containing human waste spilled from a Montpelier facility into the Winooski River. Other spills in the weeks before occurred in Rutland, Burlington, South Burlington and Essex Junction. That effluent heads downstream out to Lake Champlain.


Suzanna Jones: Nihilistic relativism infects the green movement

By Commentary

Aug 26 2020August 26, 2020

After looking over H.926, a lawyer friend of mine asked me, 'Why do we now have to defend the environment from environmental organizations?'


Suzanna Jones: What 'Planet of the Humans' reveals about us

By Commentary

May 27 2020May 27, 2020

The criticisms of the documentary reveal how much power and money lie behind the renewables-as-savior myth.


Suzanna Jones: Bill McKibben’s faulty crisis logic

By Commentary

Jun 21 2019June 21, 2019

McKibben deserves credit for sounding the alarm about climate change early on, but now he should tell people the truth.


Suzanna Jones: Experiment in Environmental Ethics

By Commentary

May 24 2017May 24, 2017

Clever marketing has induced some of us to engage in moral relativism, ethics without substance and environmentalism at the cost of its soul.


Suzanna Jones: Sacrificing nature while claiming to save it

By Commentary

Mar 6 2017

One of Bill McKibben’s faulty assumptions is that industrial renewables meaningfully address climate change.


Suzanna Jones: A 'solution' to climate change?

By Commentary

Mar 25 2016March 25, 2016

A film touring Vermont tells viewers that industrial-scale renewables are the solution – not only to climate change, but to the more localized environmental destruction the film decries.


Suzanna Jones: The business of climate change

By Commentary

Mar 13 2015March 13, 2015

How should Vermont respond to climate change? Few Vermonters would say, “Make money from it.” However, this was the theme of a recent conference.


Suzanna Jones: Betraying the environment

By Commentary

May 7 2014

Today, the most ardent advocates of industrial buildout in Vermont’s most fragile ecosystems are environmental organizations. So what is happening?


Jones: What happened to Bill McKibben?

By Commentary

Feb 8 2013February 8, 2013

Environmentalism has been successfully mainstreamed, at the cost of its soul. This co-opted version isn't about protecting the landbase from the ever-expanding empire of humans. It’s about sustaining the comfort levels we feel entitled to without exhausting the resources required.
