Indisposable planet
Take time to recalculate the Earth's worth

Earth Day, a celebration of the environment that began 38 years ago, has gone year-round, 24/7, as Americans graduate from a throwaway society to a lifestyle mindful of nature's limits.

Building in changes
What hath urban development spawned, including in mega-metroplexes like New York? Climate change, that's what.

OK, we all (mostly) are on board on this global warming thing: We're into recycling, conservation and carbon footprint reduction.

Old king sol
Solar energy can save you money, but only in the long run

Almost everyone knows that harnessing solar energy is good for the environment. But is it also good for the pocket book?

House of hazards
An unhealthy home environment can take your clean breaths away

Our homes are our havens, providing refuge from the chaos, complexities and dangers of the outside world. At least that’s the ideal. But if home is where the heart is, it’s also where you find an appalling number of pollutants, toxins, harmful microbes and other environmental threats.

A green house
A 'green' home is a concept that goes far beyond just cuttingrising energy bills. Here are some ideas for taking it further.

The Berkley is a single-story, moderately sized house featured in the Mascord book. It is easily adaptable to Southern California's focus on outdoor living. Clerestory windows capture daylight, and the garage features a green roof. Rated by Mascord on a one-to-five leaf scale for meeting green-building standards, it is one of many sustainable home plans available from the firm.

Greener pastures
New eco-friendly products suit consumers, and companies are paying attention

You could say green is the new black. With concerns about the environment and global warming capturing the collective consciousness, more consumers are clamoring for eco-friendly and green products.

Designs on construction waste
Many home builders have concrete plans for recycling

When she talks about recycling construction and demolition waste, DPR Construction project manager Whitney Dorn speaks with the fervor of a true believer.

Model cars
Choosing the right hybrid depends on driving habits and cost

In the early days of the Toyota Prius, it was prized for giving solo drivers access to California’s car-pool lanes.
