CLIMATIC ADVICE

Today's edition of Time magazine offers 51 things you can do to make a difference on the climate crisis. For example:

No. 7: Hang up a clothesline and be efficient with your choice of water temperatures and machines. (Fewer, bigger loads are more efficient than more, smaller ones.)

No. 48: Drive green. Headed to Maui? Check on Bio-Beetle, which has Passats and other VWs that run on biodiesel.
