...transition to a cleaner American lifestyle.Except in extreme cases, imploring people to conserve—by turning off their lights, turning down the heat, and walking to work—won’t do the trick anytime soon. Climate change is a gradual process, although it will definitely yield extreme results over the long run. The slow pace of change means that most people cannot grasp the urgency of the problem.

In fact, age in both respects...

A neat cluster of tidy shops and well-kept brick homes, the community of 5,000 boasts an 11th century Anglican church and a grass-banked canal. Along the winding High Street, locals walk their dogs and motorists yield and wave. And quaint charm isn't the whole story. "It's a very modern, forward-thinking place," says ward council member James Kelly...
