Friday Roundup is new – and it’s for you! Every week Green News Update will  review up to a half dozen stories – news, announcements, studies – on the environment, natural history, built environment, sustainable lifestyle and cultural affairs that  we’ll post as quick-to-read abstracts,  with links if you want to go deeper.  Media and news are now on a 24/7 cycle – who can keep up? Our readers in 114 countries tell us what they “like” and we’re listening. Hope you enjoy the debut of Green News Update’s Friday Roundup – coming February 26. Be sure to let us know if you “like” the new feature!
