		<description><![CDATA[Pacific leaders take action on clean energy, transportation, ocean conservation. On February 12, 2010, leaders from British Columbia, California, Oregon and Washington state, took time out of their busy Olympic schedules to ratify a series of joint actions entitled the Pacific Coast Collaborative, the initial steps of which were taken in June of 2008. The new agreement pledges the participating governments to forge a partnership for leadership, co-operative action and a common voice on issues affecting the Pacific Coast region and is expected to create jobs, strengthen the region’s economy, advance climate change and clean energy action and protect the marine environment.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["Millions of people, from royalty to your next door neighbor, travel the world over to 'feel' bear country, often because their own bear country is gone" -– Dr. Brian Horejsi, Dr. Barrie Gilbery and Dr. Lance Craighead. One of the most awe-inspiring sights a human may ever experience is the sight of an adult grizzly foraging in a crystal-clear river for salmon or pausing on a summer’s day to sample the sweet fruit of a berry bush. Yet the British Columbia government does not seem to think of these magnificent beasts as much other than grist for the economic mill, even though they have openly stated that grizzlies are "perhaps the greatest symbol of the wilderness (whose) survival will be the greatest testimony to our environmental commitment."]]></description>
