Karen Telleen-Lawton: Food — Fast and Slow (opens the original)
Read excerpt
California features the ultimate in fast foods. Oranges, grapes and tangerines can be plucked ripe from the tree, no polluting drive-throughs involved. Nevertheless, fast food eateries and ultra-processed foods (UPFs) constitute an increasing share of the American diet. Since the 1980s, industrially produced foods have been replacing whole foods. Industrial foods improve their shelf lives and palatability with long lists of additives like emulsifiers, artificial colors, hydrogenated oils, and hi
Karen Telleen-Lawton: Watering Santa Barbara (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m a stickler for water use; my family might say I’m an obnoxious water warden. The kids have grown and gone, so it’s only my husband who gets the evil eye when he rinses dishes instead of merely wiping them with a wet cloth before loading them in the dishwasher. It’s harder to stick to my rants in wet winters. Water year 2024 was a very wet year, with rainfall topping out at 162% of the 50-year average. Our reservoirs filled completely; we didn’t directly use our State Water Project allocation
Karen Telleen-Lawton: Why Care about Prisons (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some years ago I was the victim of a home invasion burglary. I arrived home during the heist. When I stepped into my house from the garage, hot air poured in through my office where the burglar had broken in through the French doors. Papers were strewn and my computer was gone. I ran out, dialing 911, and stood under an oak until police arrived. Though the temperature was over 100 degrees, I was shivering violently. This popped into my memory when my husband and I drove up to a Nature Conservanc
Karen Telleen-Lawton: Owl Teens Offer Sense of a Shared World (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Since the spring I have been entranced by two fledgling great horned owls in our backyard. I first spied them out of the nest about a month and a half ago, crying feeble squeals that seemed to beg their parents for rescue or food. Now they stare me down in the evenings with piercing yellow eyes. Usually, they peer at me from high in an oak branch, but sometimes they squat on the dry meadow at the top of our yard or balance on a fence. I accidentally flushed one of them from our citrus enclosure
Karen Telleen-Lawton: Hope is Not Endangered (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ten years ago, after just a dozen years on the Endangered Species List, the island fox was delisted. It was the swiftest recovery of a terrestrial mammal in the history of the Endangered Species Act. I never tire of sharing their miracle story with visitors to the Channel Islands. How they nearly went extinct in the 1990s, victims of opportunistic golden eagle predation triggered by the absence of bald eagles. How bald eagles disappeared after DDT discharged into the Pacific Ocean poisoned fish.
