A new site created by the Environmental Protection Agency, Tribal Climate and Energy Information, supports American Indian and Alaska Native communities whose health, economic well-being, and cultural traditions depend upon their natural environment, and who want to or are taking the steps necessary to mitigate climate change.
The site is designed to be a resource for tribal communities interested in implementing climate change mitigation and energy management projects that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help slow the rate of climate change and its impacts on economic and cultural sustainability.
It offers links to EPA resources and other Web sites that provide information that can help tribes reduce greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency, land use planning, renewable energy, transportation, water/wastewater and waste management.

The second paragraph does not make sense. Isn’t mitigation reducing greenhouse gas emissions? Or, is there a fallacy of equivocation where mitigation means giving up land interests for white corporations to make lots of money? In my experiences, quasi-judicial bodies have denied my request for proof that "green" projects will actually reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

AM doing a research paper on Uranium and Navajo. A link to this Web site would be nice. Thank you for sharing this new development as all Native America has in its pocket is our natural resources. Let's protect them!
