Homes in London account for 44% of the city’s CO2 emissions. That’s why, in the Docklands, builders plan in 2010 to opens the city’s first large- scale zero - carbon housing development. All 233 homes will hook up to a combined heat-and-power plant that turns wood chips into electricity and hot water, with extra juice from solar panels and wind. Car and bike clubs will lower commuting emissions. The whole project could coast just 5%more than conventional housing developments.
Check Your Tires. So you a plain- vanilla, nonhybrid, American-made gas guzzle and can’t afford (or can’t wait for) a hybrid. Now that? Just giving your engine a tune -up can improve gas mileage 4%and often much more. Replacing a clogged air fitter can boost efficiency 10%. And keeping tires properly inflated can improve mileage more than 3%. The bottom mine? If you can bust your gas mileage from 20 to 24 m.p.g., you’re old heap will put 200 fewer pounds on CO2 into the atmosphere each year.
