QUESTION#1: WHAT ARE SOME THREATS TO CORAL REEFS?

ANSWER: For hundreds of millions of years we have had coral reefs, through glaciation cycles and through many many interglacial warming and cooling cycles. And the coral are still here. I don’t think they need pesky little humans to worry about them and to take care of them but maybe they need the pesky little humans to tone down their ego and their bizarre self image as managers of nature and of the planet itself.

QUESTION#2: WHAT MAJOR CITIES IN THE UNITED STATES HAVE MADE EFFORTS TO GO GREEN LIKE THEIR EUROPEAN COUNTERPARTS?
