This "aeroponic" system--a sort of electronic hydroponic garden, in which the roots of plants grow in water without soil--makes even the darkest kitchen counter a fertile plain. Using the AeroGarden is foolproof: plug it in, fill the basin with water, pop in the seedpods and watch things grow. The unit has a lighting system that cycles...

If the pills don't match the prescription the doctor typed into the computer, the laptop alerts the nurse. The Institute of Medicine estimates that 1.5 million patients are harmed each year by medication errors, but computer records and bar-code scanners have virtually eliminated those problems...
...from a Boulder-based company called Renewable Choice Energy, which in turn pays wind farms throughout the country to produce electricity - enough to offset 211 million lbs. of carbon dioxide emissions each year. This purchase makes Vail the second-largest buyer of wind energy in the nation behind the supermarket super-chain Whole Foods, which went 100% wind power with their 458,000 megawatt-hours in January...
