Pumping them up can improve your gas mileage by about 3.3 When purchasing your next car, make it a fuel-efficient one.

Is Population a Problem?
Assuming per capita emissions remain roughly where they are today, those 2 billion poor people will only boost the developing world’s share of greenhouse gas emissions from 7 to 11 percent.

  • Reinvent Cities to Stop Climate Change
    My professional training as a city planner is without a doubt part of the reason this topic idea caught my eye, but the consensus that about 70-80% of current carbon emissions are linked to cities is what convinced me to share this with the rest of you.
