Aluminum cans? Plastic bottles? Newspapers? Though recycling statistics show that we&#8217;ve still got some work to do on diverting wastes away from landfills, you&#8217;ve probably got a good idea of how to recycle these common household items. But what about computers and televisions? Paint? Used motor oil? Earth 911&#8217;s search statistics for 2009, released today, [...]]]></description>

There&#8217;s a growing ecological awareness in all aspects of daily life, but some of our newfangled environmental actions have already been in practice for hundreds (or thousands) or years. &#8220;Green building&#8221; is an architectural movement that attempts to take the environment more closely into account in designing buildings, but the movement is generally very commercial.

By Lester R. Brown
One of the leading challenges facing the international community is how to rescue failing states, those countries most at risk of collapse due to a combination of weak governance, internal violence, and social upheaval.
