...demands a different kind of solution. At the core of that problem is energy, which touches every aspect of modern life, and while the old green virtues of conservation, of simple living, must play a part in our response, the key will be technology. We must invent, develop and implement - on a global scale - low-carbon means of using power. What's required, as Krupp writes in his new book, Earth: The Sequel, is a "second industrial revolution as sweeping as that effected a century ago by the likes of Thomas Edison, Henry Ford and John D. Rockefeller...
...Blue Sky version is directed by Jimmy Hayward, a Pixar veteran who worked as an animator on that studio's first five features, and Steve Martino. They have elaborated on the TV show's designs to develop a dense, gorgeously goofy Who-ville - a town, of bright colors and sweetly tilting towers, that might have been dreamed by Antonio Gaudi and Red Grooms. Who-ville has a daft architectural logic that makes a comely contrast to the jungle lushness of Nool...
...Zipitis says supplementation was roughly 10 mcg, or 400 I.U., of vitamin D daily - the amount typically found in infant multivitamins. Based on data from three case-control studies involving 6,455 participants, the new paper found that infants who were given supplements were 29% less likely to develop type 1 diabetes compared with infants who never got extra vitamin D. Zipitis, who reviewed a total of five studies, also found evidence that the vitamin's protective effect increased with larger doses and more regular supplementation. "[Our study] provides the strongest evidence to date that vitamin D might be protective...
...paper was unable to say how much vitamin D the children were getting from sources other than supplementation, or whether they were deficient to begin with. But Zipitis says children who had rickets, a bone disorder caused by extreme vitamin D deficiency, "were at a much higher risk of developing type 1 diabetes - I think about three times higher than the rest of the population, which would suggest that the higher the level of vitamin D in your body, the less likely you are to develop type 1 diabetes...
What does Green Works bring to the table? Clorox spent about $20 million to develop the products--all-purpose, dilutable, bathroom, toilet-bowl and glass-and-surface cleaners. But perhaps most significant, Green Works products are priced at a 15% to 20% premium compared with conventional ones (suggested retail price for 32 oz. [1 L] of the all-purpose cleaner is $3.39). "The prices are much lower than for products typically found in Whole Foods," Peiros says. "Consumers will be getting a great product at a cheaper price, so if I were one of those companies, I'd probably feel...
