...heart: your city is a den of dirt and grime and gluttony no more. According to David Owen, author of Green Metropolis: What the City Can Teach the Country About True Sustainability, the Big Apple is actually the greenest city in America. Residents of New York City walk more, drive less and leave a significantly smaller carbon footprint than people living anywhere else in the U.S. - even Vermont. Owen talks to TIME about the wastefulness of rural life, the reason local produce isn't environmentally friendly and the one good thing to come out of the 2008-09 recession...
...doing fine, I wanted more power. I do all the repairs and maintenance not only on my car, but also on my parents’. When I was on leave and working in Utah, I would occasionally take off from work early and go for hours-long drives in the mountains. And I religiously keep up to date on new developments in the automobile industry, so much so that one of my blockmates nicknamed me “Autoblog” after I told her once that I needed to finish reading the car news blog of the same name...
...Drive along Kalayaan Avenue, home to Filipino-Chinese TV chef Bruce Lim, and you might think you've come to the wrong address: lined with pawnshops, sari-sari (convenience) stores and stalls hawking spit-roasted chickens, the neighborhood is decidedly lacking in the atmosphere you might expect to signal Manila's hottest dining ticket.

...organizers lay on coach transport from the airport, but if you're planning some postfestival touring it might be a good idea to hire a car: Sputnik Car Hire, www. sputnik-car-hire.mw, offers reasonable rates. With music still ringing in your ears, you can drive out to somewhere like Cape Maclear, about 60 miles (100 km) away from Mangochi. There, Kayak Africa, www.kayakafrica.net, will ferry you across to either Mumbo Island or Domwe Island and their superb snorkeling or diving. Their self-catering, fully furnished safari-tent accommodations are a far cry from camping in the soggy fields of Glastonbury...
