Now, almost 300 Shakespeare skeptics have made a very public plea to be taken seriously...
Such green strategies pay genuine environmental dividends. Even though EVI is still on the electrical grid and many residents commute by car to their jobs--as far as 20 miles (about 30 km) away--the group estimates it has an ecological impact 40% smaller than that of a comparable mainstream community...
