...biodiesel - which, Begley points out, has the additional benefit of "smelling like French fries instead of diesel gas." But some of Begley's suggestions would seem to challenge the star system of at the heart of the Hollywood galaxy. Why, he asks, should we reserve singe cars for celebrities? "Load it up," exhorts Begley. "Get some grips and electricians riding in that car, too. I don't need to ride alone...
...plane is built for 2011, is a marvel of optimization. Its 200 ft. (61 m) wingspan is covered with photovoltaic cells, which convert the sun's rays into roughly the same amount of energy needed to light a large Christmas tree. That solar power drives four electric engines, and loads four lithium batteries - a quarter of the aircraft's total weight of 3,300 lbs. (1,500 kg) - which allow the plane to continue flying through the night. Project director and co-pilot André Borschberg says that while labs around the world are developing lighter and more effective batteries...

Other nights, though, the crunch of bombs falling around the city begins to sound...
...research for a book, they said. For a year they would eschew transportation that emits carbon dioxide, shun foods wrapped in plastic packaging and, most dramatically, conduct the elimination of their waste without the aid of wasteful paper products. I mull the logistics of paperless hygiene as I load a family-size pack of Charmin Ultra Soft into my Subaru Forester. According to the plastic packaging, each roll contains 569 sq. ft. (or 52 square meters, which sounds a lot better) of murdered tree. Like the bear in the commercial, I squeeze it tight. I like my toilet paper...
