• Oysters and mussels and clams oh my! Do you know which are sustainable seafood?

  Flickr: Ricky DavidWhen you think "food in Kansas City," chances are seafood doesn't come in the top 10. Maybe not even the top 100. Yet it's on menus all over the city.But before you bite into that succulence from the sea, you should know whether what you're eating is sustainable or not. Overfishing is such a problem that a report by top scientists concluded that if fishing stays at its current levels, "there will be virtually nothing left to fish from the seas by the middle of the century."

Representatives from the National Nuclear Security Administration and the General Services Administration dropped by City Hall yesterday to ask for the Planning and Zoning Committee's final blessing on the Kansas City Plant's move from offices on Bannister Road to a new facility in what one presenter called "the industrial heart of the 6th District." In doing so, they threw a

• Thought the Kansas coal battle was over?

  Think again. Yes, Governor Mark Parkinson signed a backroom agreement with Sunflower Electric Power Corporation to build a gigantic new coal-fired power plant in western Kansas, but environmentalists aren't giving up yet. Last week, the Kansas Sierra Club and EarthJustice sent a strongly worded letter to Rod Bremby, Kansas' Secretary of Health and Environment. Bremby is the one who has to sign off on Sunflower's air permit and the Sierra Club doesn't want him to simply rubbe

Sierra Club has gone cinematic with their environmental protection in Coal Country, a feature-length documentary that shows in graphic detail that our coal-fired power plants aren't just killing us with the global warming pollution that spews from the

• Tonight: Let's talk about sex... education

  ​Earlier this year, when President Obama zeroed out funding for "abstinence-only sex education" in the 2010 federal budget, parents and teachers who don't want their kids stumbling ignorantly into adolescence celebrated. But that doesn't mean students in the Kansas City region can count on age-appropriate, medically accurate sex education -- unless the community pushes for change. Jen LaBarbera, an organizer for Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri, says her organization, and o
