...although the council picks up the electricity bill every time anyone uses Dial4Light (locals pay for the call), it's still cheaper than running the streetlights through the night. "We're cutting electricity bills and we're doing something to help the environment," says Ehlert. "Everyone can do their bit." (Read: "In a Warming World, Cloudy Days Are a Boon...
TIME: I thought I'd talk to you a little bit about the whole degree to which this is really a test of leadership.

I totaled my three-speed and nearly my body. Since then, I have broken both legs--one skiing, the other playing football. I tried mountain-biking a few years ago and took an epic spill on my first downhill...
