...meantime, however, public service still ranks low on the occupational list for a large number of Harvard students. Yet, for a student body so concerned with the future, so active in politics, environmental concerns and so forth on campus, it is worth reflecting on how much depends on what the government decides outside these ivy walls. Public service is the way to translate these ideal beliefs of our youth into substantive action. While we may imagine that things can be better, the good comes from acting on that imagination every...

Initially permits worth hundreds of billions of dollars will be given out, free, to industrial greenhouse gas emitters, rather than auctioned off. The act also allows companies to meet part of their carbon caps using offsets, even as scientists increasingly question the effectiveness of such carbon trading.
