In stark contrast to Copenhagen (where more than half the residents travel by bike), one school district in Saratago Springs, N.Y., created a policy that prohibits biking and walking to school.

Though Janette Marino and her son, Adam, were warned prior to the first day of school, they rode in defiance anyway only to be greeted by an unhappy group of school administrators and a state trooper.

The schools cited dangerous road conditions on Route 9, which leads to the school, as a primary reason for the policy, even though that road is designated as an official "bike route."

A Solar Powered Blanket Creates Cell Phone-Powered Health Care for Africans : TreeHugger

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 08:24:49 -0800

From the page: "Sounds like a strange mix, but a blanket that sports solar power could help improve health care in Africa by allowing those people without electricity to charge cell phones, which are used to send and receive text messages with health information for people with HIV and Tuberculosis. It's called the Portable Light iTEACH Blanket, and it wants to save lives.

Cell phones are facilitating some amazing movements in green activism, and Africa is one of the continents on which mobile technology can do an incredible amount of good. The technology is simple, the cell phones can be easy to access...but the problem is keeping them charged.

In an effort to address this problem so that more people have access to health care information via cell phones, the iTEACH blanket project wants to reach the world's poorest people with accessible technology that gives them access to mobiles, lighting at night, a boost to the local economy via local manufacturing methods, and more. It aims to be a well-rounded solution that will save lives and prevent illness. "

Haitian cabbie Pierre Jean-Charles climbed into his yellow taxi van while cradling a bottle of Coke and a bag of Doritos -- the customary get-me-through snack for the 51-year-old full-time student and father of five. He had parked at a meter in front of a corner store at 75th Street and Collins Avenue in Miami Beach. It was before noon September 7, Labor Day, and the sweltering streets were full of people draped in towels, wearing bathing suits, and flip-flopping to the beach.

Jean-Charles found that an SUV had parked inches behind him, jamming him in. He honked and stepped out of the taxi, gesturing for the woman behind the SUV's steering wheel to back up.

A short, stocky Hispanic man emerged from the passenger side and stomped toward the cab. "Where you from?" the man snapped.
