...With a dense population near the city's ports, the problem of shipping-related emissions is particularly acute in Hong Kong, where 60% of people say they've suffered health problems because of air pollution. But anyone living near a shipping lane is at risk. An estimated 60,000 people die annually from global shipping emissions, according James Corbett, a professor of marine policy at the University of Delaware, who along with five others calculated the concentration of pollutants due to ships and then estimated the number of extra deaths caused by the additional exposure. If nothing is done...
John S. Allen, the director of “Grand Street,” a short film that shows bicyclists riding down the controversial Grand Street bicycle lane in New York City, which separates cyclists from traffic with a row of parked cars. The film was shot in one take, using cameras in front of and behind the two cyclists...
...robot version of Toby - same DNA, but with cool extras like propellant flames in his shoes and machine guns in his butt. Rejected by his father, Toby escapes Metro City and lands on the grungy surface of earth, where children are enslaved by the cheerfully malicious Ham Egg (Nathan Lane), and an underclass of humans and robots are forced into gladiatorial slam downs. Can Toby survive this environment, save his new friends, return to Metro City and win his father's love? (Spoiler alert: Yes, four times...
...prove himself to his dad and himself turns him into a superior being, the best of both species. Ham Egg, the exploiter of children down on earth, is a little bit Fagin, a little bit Stromboli from the Disney Pinocchio, and a whole lot rotten; but, thanks to Lane's vocalizing, he has enough vaudeville swank and showmanship to make him an irresistible cartoon villain. (The same can't be said for Sutherland's mayor, a one-note sociopath who risks Metro City's very existence in order to get re-elected. Why doesn't he just rig the ballot...
...Gallagher has a plan for America's "blue highways," the thousands of miles of dusty, old, single-lane heritage routes that wend desolately through the countryside: turn them green. Superseded by high-speed interstates, many of these narrow byways have been long forgotten, along with the faded small towns they connect, says Gallagher, a project manager for the Southwest Michigan Planning Commission. But off-the-beaten-path America could be revived, she says, by transforming little-used roadways into "green highways" that cater specifically to electric-vehicle drivers and other slow-moving, eco-minded tourists traveling by bicycle...
