...dairy cows share the power load. Their manure is processed into fertilizer and methane gas, the latter used as fuel for an electrical generator at the town's biomass facility. Nearby, a three-year project sponsored by Japan's Economy, Trade and Industry Ministry's New Energy Development Organization (NEDO) uses wood chips from larch trees to create gas that powers the farm's milk and cheese operations. The bark of other trees is also made into pellets for heating stoves used throughout the community. A local winery, for instance, has two such stoves, and Kuzumaki pays residents...
...model for the rest of the country by developing itself as an exemplar of environmental best practices. "It was clear to me that the environment and food would be critical issues in the 21st century," says Nakamura. So he set about working with, and getting funding from, the government, NEDO, and Tohoku Denryoku, a Japanese power generation company, on sustainable energy projects. Since passing the torch to the town's current mayor, Nakamura now promotes eco-tourism in the area. Kuzumaki hosts more than 400,000 visitors a year - up from 60,000 a decade ago - who come...
Examples like these lead even such mainstream voices as AT&T and Japan's energy planning agency, NEDO, to predict that environmental restoration could be a source of virtually limitless profit. The idea is to retrofit our farms, factories, shops, houses, offices and everything inside them. The economic activity generated would be enormous. Better yet, it would be labor intensive; investments in energy efficiency yield two to 10 times more jobs than investments in fossil fuel and nuclear power. In a world where 1 billion people lack gainful employment, creating jobs is essential to fighting the poverty that retards environmental...

Livorno, in Tuscany, is the home of leghorn hats and the fencing school where Aide's father, Beppe, has been coaching Italian swordsmen for half a century. Beppe Nadi was the best teacher of his time. Aldo's older brother, Nedo, who visited the U. S. in 1930, was considered the finest fencer in the world when he retired two years ago. Reaching his peak after 25 years of vigorous training, Aldo Nadi inherited the family title at 34. Fencing experts agree that he is not only the equal of his brother but conceivably the most effective swrordsman...
