Video: The Making of a Pedestrian-Only Street in Curitiba, Brazil
by Michael Graham Richard
07. 7.09
From the page: "We've already written about Curitiba's great Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, but that's not all the Brazilian city has to teach us. Our friends at StreetFilms write: "In 1972 under the direction of then Mayor Jaime Lerner, it became the first major pedestrian street in Brazil. The first phase of closing the street took place in only 72 hours. At first the project was unpopular, but today is seen as a success and spans 15 blocks." Check out the video below!

When sustainability means more than green - McKinsey...
Rated • 1 review • environment, sustainability • mckinseyquarterly.com
From the page: "Adam Werbach became the Sierra Club's youngest president in 1996, at 23. Yet by 2004, he argued in a widely discussed speech that environmentalism had hit a wall because it focused on green issues rather than a larger goal: sustainability. His willingness to help Wal-Mart's efforts to achieve it made him still more controversial among environmentalists. Werbach is now CEO of Saatchi & Saatchi S, a consultancy arm of the global advertising firm dedicated to sustainability solutions. This article is adapted from his new book, Strategy for Sustainability: A Business Manifesto. In an accompanying video interview, he explains the ideas that inspired it."

44 Democrats Broke With Obama on Climate Bill
Sunday, June 28, 2009
From the page: " The majority of the 52 House members who broke party ranks on Friday's cap-and-trade climate change vote came from congressional districts that backed the presidential nominee of the opposite party in last year's election.
Nearly all of these members will face competitive races in 2010, according to Congressional Quarterly, and many will likely brandish this ostensibly independent vote as evidence of their political independence.
Here's the list of the 44 Democratic "no" votes that chose to go against their party leader, President Barack Obama. There were also 8 Republican "yes" votes."
