...resources, Japan can't afford to be profligate. That means it has something to teach other nations. The country is one of the most energy-efficient industrial countries in the world, and some of Japan's leading companies, such as Toyota and Sharp, are known for technologies that foster greener lifestyles. A conservation mind-set is ingrained into Japanese people from birth, and is apparent in little ways throughout society. Ten years ago, when I first visited Kyoto, I was shocked that public restrooms had no soap, no dispenser full of paper towels - sometimes no toilet paper. In their purses...
...that students thus far have been more concerned with food quality—certainly an important issue—but we reject the idea that it is an either/or proposition. With more locally grown foods and some original thinking, HUDS has done more than its fair share for a greener Harvard. We hope that other students will not forget the environment in their conversations with the Advisory Council. Students should not take sessions with the Advisory Council merely as opportunities to whine and dine. Constructive criticism is always preferable to unrealistic requests that would be hard for HUDS to swallow...
...honest, crusading and sadistic: they get their charge from pulverizing the ones they tab as bad. Ludlow, who has a Patton-size flag outside his home and whom another cop calls "L.A.'s deadliest white boy," fits into this latter category. "We're the police," he tells a greener officer (Chris Evans) who partners with him. "We can do whatever the hell we want." And, later: "Truth doesn't matter, only how we write...
...floor as a desk, since the College will have sold off their dorm furniture to pay for bigger touch-screens in the dining halls. And they’ll smell terrible, since Harvard will have shut off their shower to conserve water and make the campus “greener.” But at least they will have four glorious years in Harvard Square, that mecca of neighborhood banking and tortilla-wrapped fast food...
...fuel sucks some of that carbon out of the atmosphere. For years, the big question was whether those reductions from carbon sequestration outweighed the "life cycle" of carbon emissions from farming, converting the crops to fuel and transporting the fuel to market. Researchers eventually concluded that yes, biofuels were greener than gasoline. The improvements were only about 20% for corn ethanol because tractors, petroleum-based fertilizers and distilleries emitted lots of carbon. But the gains approached 90% for more efficient fuels, and advocates were confident that technology would progressively increase benefits...
