Sandor's idea was so successful that he was asked to the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 to help design a program to finance reductions in carbon emissions. Sandor remembers the time fondly. "It reminded me of my days at Berkeley," he says. "There was more tie-dye than at a Grateful Dead concert. I was sitting on the beach and having a caipirinha, and I said, 'We could do this...
While looking for bacteria living in the soil that could remove toxins from cellulose and other decaying plant matter, the researchers used antibiotics as an experimental control and discovered that many strains of bacteria were able to survive on antibiotics as their sole source of carbon...
...have a role in saving the planet, devoting our issue to 51 things that you can do to help alleviate climate change. This year, in an agenda-setting piece by Bryan Walsh, we roll up everything into one megaproposal, a kind of 21st century Manhattan Project, using carbon-trading, alternative energy and an efficiency surge to get the most out of every kilowatt we produce--all with the aim of winning the war on global warming...
