None of this means that dust poses a clear and present danger or that you need to take any extraordinary measures. Just clean regularly, don't smoke, eat at the table - and try not to freak out. Dust bunnies are still only bunnies; you may just want fewer of them...

In 2007, the Supreme Court ruled that greenhouse gases like CO2 could be considered pollutants and gave the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) the power to regulate them under the Clean Air Act. Although that authority went unused in the waning days of former President George W. Bush's Administration, the Obama EPA has spent much of the past year preparing the groundwork for regulation. In the absence of a climate bill, the EPA has the power - and is legally mandated by the Supreme Court - to step in and address carbon emissions. (See pictures...

In addition to this, therefore, the government must build on the efforts of the stimulus and spend far more than $100 billion on infrastructure, clean-energy and other important projects that will create jobs. While tax cuts are often merely saved or used to pay down personal debt, spending on projects that have to create jobs comes with a guarantee of expanding employment...
