Green Wombat

Green Wombat covers the intersection of the environment, technology, business and policy. The enviroblog is written by Todd Woody, a senior editor at Fortune magazine who is based in San Francisco. Todd formerly was the assistant managing editor of Business 2.0, where he oversaw the magazine’s green tech coverage. He previously was the business editor of the San Jose Mercury News in Silicon Valley and worked as a senior writer and senior editor at The Industry Standard magazine in San Francisco. He covered environmental issues for seven years at The Recorder, a San Francisco legal daily, and wrote about the environment and technology from Sydney, Australia, for Wired magazine and other publications. And the wombat? A wombat is a marsupial found mostly in southeast mainland Australia and Tasmania. It spends its days in a burrow, emerging at dusk to feed on grasses. The common wombats in the Green Wombat logo were
photographed by Todd on June 23, 2006, at Tasmania’s Narawntapu National Park. (The green wombat above was painted by Sydney artist Tanya Roocci for Green Wombat.)  The northern hairy-nosed wombat (photo at right from the Wombat Foundation) is among the world’s most critically endangered large mammals, with a single population of 115 animals surviving in the Australian state of Queensland.
