...hard to take Hollywood's greens altogether seriously - gee, if only we could all afford to shell out $22,000 for a shiny new hybrid - but Bochner's got a point: the nation does watch Hollywood. The TV and film industry tends to be on the cutting edge of social change, from civil rights to the war in Iraq, and that's true when it comes to the environment as well. From films like An Inconvenient Truth to high-profile attempts at carbon neutrality (by the Fox drama 24 last year), Hollywood is working to set the bar higher...
...Greece or the Caribbean. A week in unglamorous Southwold also fits well with the slight air of austerity that Brown has used to mark a break with his flashier former boss and rival Blair, famous for his breaks in aging pop star Cliff Richard's Barbados house and Bee Gee Robin Gibb's Florida mansion.

Then in early May he began pointing out apparent gaps in its first-quarter earnings report. His comments, he later told me, amounted to saying, "Gee, there's a naked emperor...
Eventually the program may enable riders to calculate miles traveled as well as reductions made in their carbon footprints. But the gee-whiz factor will always take a backseat to convenience. For bikes to become a mainstay of the morning rush, cities need to spend time and money expanding bike fleets and making streets safer for two-wheelers. That means creating dedicated bike lanes and ticketing cars that double-park in them. (Swing open a door at the wrong time, and a cyclist could get seriously injured.) Washington has spent the past seven years installing more than 30 miles...
