...emphasis in the kitchen is on experimentation, and indeed Mike discourages you from shackling yourself to the recipe. (Perhaps this explains why the Friday clam chowder seems so inconsistent from House to House.) Yes, some of our attempts at stir-fry ended up as clumps of carbon stuck to the skillet, and most of our "omelets" looked more like bad scrambled eggs. But most of learned something, if only how to cut a wide variety of vegetables...
...environmental justice. This rapidly emerging field considers who are the winners and the losers of environmental change and whether that status is deserved. An illustrative example is again the topic of climate change, which is caused primarily by the increase in the content of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. An important effect of global warming is the rise of global sea levels, which is a prospect that severely threatens many small island nations and peninsulas. Bangladesh is a country whose coastline would significantly regress inland with a sea level rise of only a few centimeters, thereby...
CLEAN AND GREEN Love crisp, dry-cleaned clothes, but hate that the solvent used to clean them (perchloroethylene) has been deemed a probable carcinogen by the EPA? Hangers, a new chain, uses eco-friendly carbon dioxide instead. The first store opened in Wilmington, N.C., with one each coming to Chicago and Providence, R.I., this month. Retail prices match competitors', but because its machines are expensive, it could be a while before a Hangers opens near...

Additionally, these emissions standards can never address the problem of carbon dioxide production; every gasoline combustion engine generates this greenhouse gas which has proliferated in the industrial age because of human activity...
...agriculture, in which purely physical characteristics like milk production in a cow or low fat in a hog have real market value, biological carbon copies could become routine within a few years. This past year scientists have done for mice and cows what Ian Wilmut did for Dolly, and other creatures are bound to join the cloned menagerie in the coming year...
