Commentary: Driving impacts our ecologically-conscious
life
Ernest Atencio ponders an exceptionally muddy Mud Season
in New Mexico, and notes how readily most Westerners forget that we
live in an arid landscape.
A comparison of mine reclamation in Western states shows
the specifics of reclamation very widely in each state.
The art and science of mine reclamation is very
complicated, and so far there have not been enough long-term
successes to learn from.
If the 1993 New Mexico Mining Act is allowed to work, it
could usher in a new era of mine reclamation in which mines
actually have to clean up and pay for the messes they leave
behind.
A timeline traces the history of the Molycorp mine in
Questa, N.M., and its environmental problems.

activists welcome a possible Superfund listing for the huge
Molycorp molybdenum mine in Questa, N.M., as a way to save the town
and the Red River from yet more mine-waste pollution.
The essays that sociologist Devon Peûa has assembled
in his book, "Chicano Culture, Ecology, Politics: Subversive Kin,"
argue for a homegrown Chicano environmental ethic in the changing,
contested landscape of New Mexico.

World farms in the San Luis Valley has northern New Mexico farmers
worried that their water rights will be endangered.
