This is one of the most professional and interesting websites that you could possibly bookmark on your browser; almost every day they describe a new technology or technique for environmentalists. There are short features on a thousand cool ideas: slow food, urban farming, hydrogen cars, and messenger bags made from recycled truck tarps. There are how-to guides on how to etch your own circuit board, how to break in your hybrid car so as to maximize mileage, how to organize a "smart mob" (a brief gathering of strangers in a public place).

If we face an unprecedented planetary crisis, we also find ourselves in a moment of innovation unlike any that has come before...We live in an era when the number of people working to make the world better is exploding.
