There was much nonBenedict news this week-end. You may have missed the Green Issue of the NYTimes Magazine (let us not inquire into that carbon footprint, or even its bs footprint). But amazingly enough, there is a long set of short pieces about what we can all do to "save the planet." It's here: http://www.nytimes.com/pages/magazine/index.htmlMy favorite so far is a site that will tell you about the walkability of any address in the U.S., including your home, or the home you are thinking of buying, or where you go on vacation, etc. Try it: www.walkscore.com
