Microsoft (MS) and NBC collaborated to provide a general on-line news source that covers many local, national, and international environmental issues. The information is updated daily and covers a variety of ecological and human concerns. Examples of topics covered include energy conservation, climate change, biological conditions of ecosystems, and human impact studies. Since this is a major national news source, much of the coverage involves political or economic discussions as well as presentation of scientific data. One useful aspect of this site is the archive tool, which allows the user to search past articles published by MSNBC. Users will also find interactive exercises and periodic quizzes on general environmental knowledge.
