...thing, America is still booming after the excesses of the Industrial Revolution. By some comparisons, China is in better shape—none of its rivers have yet managed to catch on fire like the Cuyahoga, a river so polluted from America’s rise to industrial power that it actually sustained flames. China is also more proactive about the environmental impact of growth. The Communist Party has required that the same economic growth be achieved in 2010 using 20 percent less energy than in 2005. For the same time period, the government has also mandated that mercury, sulfur...
...like movies unless they are - you know - "serious." It is visually inert. It appears to be taking up small-scaled, yet emotionally resonant issues, but does not actually define them sharply or bring them to firm conclusions. It has a certain incidental inventiveness when it comes to narrative development, none of which feels organic to the story. There is for example, a rotting tree in the yard, which Margot climbs and gets stuck in (cue the fire department) and which we know, from the first time we see it, has to fall in some embarrassing way.

...greenest of the green join Carbon Ration Action Groups (CRAGS), whose members pledge to reduce their personal carbon dioxide emissions.

But here, as in the books from which it drew inspiration, the key to success has been the wondrous power of a child's imagination. "By the nature of the beast, children are more creative than we are," Chambers says. "So they will make the connections and do it enthusiastically." The Robert Mellors School proves that when education is packaged to encourage those connections, it can cast a powerful spell - just like...
...garage rock revival. “The Black and White Album” proves I was horribly wrong. Clocking in at more than 45 minutes, “The Black and White Album” is a distinct departure from the band’s three previous albums, none of which broke the 30-minute mark. Whereas “Barely Legal,” “Veni Vidi Vicious,” and “Tyrannosaurus Hives” featured only five songs over the three-minute mark between them, “The Black and White...
