The Green Issue - Climate Change - Environment - Energy...
Rated • 1 review • environment, urban living, green • nytimes.com
From the page: "Last summer, a trio of Seattle software developers started walkscore.com, which calculates the number of potential destinations within walking distance of any given address and then produces a rating. If your neighborhood scores 90 or above, you can easily live there without a car; if it scores under 25, youâ€ll be driving to the backyard. More than a million addresses were searched in the siteâ€s first month. Matt Lerner, one of the siteâ€s developers, knew the concept had arrived when a condo in Seattle hung out a gigantic banner that said â€oeWalk Score 100.” â€oePeople react really negatively to phrases like â€density,†” he says, â€oebut they react really positively to phrases like â€walkability.†”"

Back at Junk Value, Recyclables Are Piling Up - NYTimes.com
Rated • 1 review • business, economy, recycle • nytimes.com
From the page: "The precipitous drop in prices for recyclables makes the stock marketâ€s performance seem almost enviable.
On the West Coast, for example, mixed paper is selling for $20 to $25 a ton, down from $105 in October, according to Official Board Markets, a newsletter that tracks paper prices. And recyclers say tin is worth about $5 a ton, down from $327 earlier this year. There is greater domestic demand for glass, so its price has not fallen as much."

Living on Earth: Wal-Mart’s Wishes
Rated • 1 review • business, consumer • loe.org
This is a step in the right direction. Keep watching the company to see if it can walk the walk.
From the page: "Attention shoppers, Wal-mart, the world's biggest retailer, has some big changes in store for it's biggest supplier: China. Next year, Chinese companies that produce about nine billion dollars worth of goods for Wal-mart, will have to come clean, and comply with Wal-mart's new environmental and labor requirements. Among other things it means manufacturers will have to cut energy consumption by 20 percent. "
