Over the past few years, Nike has talked a good game about plans to shrink its carbon footprint, and @ProPublica has put in the hard yards to keep the mega brand honest. Most recently, reporter Rob Davis has zeroed in on private jet usage. His latest report shows that, rather than becoming more transparent, Nike is taking steps to make tracking execs’ plane usage harder.

Canada geese were once almost extinct, but now they’re ubiquitous in the country that gave them their name.

Have you considered the Canada Goose?

Giant Canada geese, so ubiquitous today in cities across the country, were once considered extinct. What can we learn from watching them up close?
