    In the international alliance to fight climate change, the United States is considered the sullen loner. But in the seven years since we rejected Kyoto, changes have begun. Not at the federal level, however. Its the locals who are making it happen.

    wow Syracuse New York #18 on the list really surprising to me .Lived 30 minutes from there for 33 year till moved to Traverse city MI.Last year had been working in Syracuse for last 2 years and did not see anything green there.I know that they are trying to clean up the Onondaga lake the most polluted lake in America and building the worlds biggest mall.I know the state of New York has a great recycling program for trash glad to see it up there on list but have not personally seen the greenness there.Go green at www.greenclothing4u.com

    Back to the Future II was a bit of a disappointment in the face of the original. Granted, it was hamstrung by the throw-away ending of the first, but it did have that brilliant opening sequence with the hoverboards. How much did you want a hoverboard after seeing that? Not to mention, the computerized, self-drying jacket Marty puts on to blend in. The stuff of fantasy, right? At least for the latter, not for much longer.
