For Teens: A Back-to-School Checklist for Going Green and Blue
Heading back to school? You may have a checklist for supplies, from calculators to notebooks and lined paper. Heading back to school is also ideal for another checklist, one for going green and blue at school, at home, and in your community. We all know the importance of going green. Being eco-aware is a must to protect and preserve our environment and increasingly fragile ecosystems. Why add “blue?” View the rest of the blog and my suggestions on Rodale.com

Philippe Cousteau’s Happy Place
They say that our sense of smell is one of the strongest triggers of memories. Of course, our sense of smell is integral to our sense of taste so it is no surprise then that in a life full of moving and traveling, food has always been a source of familiar comfort for me. In particular, one meal from one restaurant stands out above the rest and still stirs precious memories whenever I think about it. Read the rest on CNN

July 16 - Watch Extreme Science with Philippe Cousteau on CNN International
In the one-hour documentary program Extreme Science, Philippe Cousteau will take viewers to one of the coldest places on earth, the Arctic, to explore the significance of the science studied in extreme conditions. To study the effects of global warming at the Catlin Ice Base, scientists test the salinity levels of the water and its acidification. They also have to maintain a plane runway, prepare for the event of a polar bear attack, and generally operate in freezing temperatures that regularly dip down to -40 degrees. Philippe blogged about his Arctic adventures while shooting this documentary. Get a sneak peak by reading those entries here.

National Treasures or American Wastelands, the Choice is Ours
The rough, white texture of the bark was still bright in the fading glow of sunset. I turned my head and gazed out over the valley to enjoy the last few moments of it bathed in golden light. Some of the greatest feats of humankind had been achieved since this wood had been stacked together...electricity, the automobile, telephones, antibiotics, the internet and landing on the moon to name a few. I closed my eyes and imagined this place as it must have been back when a Crow Indian warrior used it as a scouting point. At least that is what this teepee-like structure of large wooden branches and logs is thought to have been, a scouting post for Crow warriors watching over the valley for any enemy war parties. What anthropologists do know is it pre-dates 1872, a very special year. That year, President Ulysses S Grant, in a document …

Dispatch From the Gulf Oil Spill: Breaking the Law to Save the Gulf
In the past week I had the pleasure of meeting Jamie Hinton, Chief of the Magnolia Springs Fire Department. Jamie is one of the many examples of people who translate their awareness into action.

Witnessing Beauty Before Oil Hits
NOTE: This is the first of Philippe Cousteau's blogs for CNN.com's "This Just In" series, for which he will be a regular contributor. After a very successful telethon for "Larry King Live" — we raised almost $2 million — I boarded a red-eye and headed down to Florida. Unfortunately, tar balls are starting to wash up on the shore, the same kind I saw on the beaches of Alabama that now, three weeks later, have weathered oil and sheen washing up on the beaches and into the marsh. If recent history is any indication (and I hope I am wrong), the Gulf coast of Florida is next. As part of my work here in the Gulf, I wanted to get ahead of the catastrophe and witness the beauty of these fragile environments before the oil spoiled them. My destination was Apalachicola Bay, a delta system that is among …

Wake-up Call
Another long week. The oil spill in the Gulf has kept me and my team busier than ever. As I prepared for my 5th trip to Grand Isle, I wrote a blog for CNN that chronicles my experiences in the gulf and demonstrates why we must start being not only aware but active about making changes to protect the environment around us for both nature and our own sakes.
