Summary: Sprawling from grace: Our modern infrastructure is built to suit a car-centered lifestyle. It is proposed that unless we begin to develop our cities and towns with a focus on pedestrian and public transportation access to civic and commercial places, we will ever be dependent on personal transportation, perpetuating over-consumption and making conservation next to impossible. Reds go green: China, now surpassing the U.S. in energy consumption, is racing to find ways to balance their desire to industrialize with pressure to reduce carbon emissions. A solution that seems to address both necessities comes in the form of the electric car, a market that Chinese car manufacturer, Build Your Dream (BYD), hopes to dominate in the near future. Green Nirvana: Utilizing a host of alternative energy options, the inhabitants of the Danish island of Samso are providing an example for the rest of the world of how to become carbon neutral with the integration of many different energy alternatives best suited to the specific locale. Fragile day: A music video for the song “Fragile day” by Wilderland whose lyrics speak to the consequences of pollution. The song was inspired by the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and all proceeds from the sale of the song go to organizations aiding in Gulf Coast restoration.
