...turn contributes to big energy and other environmental savings. Some of the innovations are startling: the white concrete that American architect Richard Meier used for the Jubilee Church in Rome, for example, contains titanium dioxide, which keeps the concrete clean while also destroying pollutants around it, like car exhaust...
...real importance to today’s world. Indeed, even after having written five books on William Shakespeare—most notably one that extensively chronicled all 38 of his plays—Garber, who is a professor of English and Visual and Environmental Studies, has yet to exhaust the continuing relevance of Shakespeare’s works in contemporary society. Garber’s scholarly project is to emphasize that literature is not a static entity, but rather a dynamic force that can effect change. For instance, in “Coming of Age in Shakespeare...

Polluters such as coal power plants and automobiles have shouldered the brunt of the attention on climate change. It helps that you can actually see them spewing black exhaust. But people often forget that when they plug in their home electronics - whether it's a jumbo flat-screen TV or an iPod - the electricity that juices those devices has a carbon footprint too. As the amount of electronics in our homes continues to increase - half of American households now own three TVs, up from 11% in 1975 - it becomes more and more important that they are energy efficient.

Buell's collaborative style has led to some of the most innovative designs in motorcycles in recent years. "More than any other place I have been, we have a real blank-sheet-of-paper approach," says Stefanelli. Buell was the first to fit an exhaust underneath the bike so the weight stays low for better control. It was the first to put oil in the swing arm and fuel in the frame to distribute weight more evenly. And it pioneered a perimeter brake disk--replacing a central disk around the hub--that weighs a third less than the standard system...
