A Second Life for an Old Train Tunnel Ever since the late 1970s, people have been trying to turn a 124-year-old abandoned railroad tunnel into something that pedestrians and cyclists could use (and eventually, bringing back light-rail to it). Active development started 12 years ago, and after a looooong wait, the 1.2 mile tunnel (not the best place to be if you are claustrophobic) has now been officially opened in front of a very enthusiastic crowd. Cyclists and pedestrians will be able to commute between the Larkspur Ferry landing and San Rafael in a … Read the full story on TreeHugger

I’ve always been a big fan of the rainbow colours and iconic grace of the South Asian sari – which can be seen in an amazing array of textures, styles and methods of draping all over the subcontinent. Even after a sari is finished as a garment, oftentimes it can be repurposed into something else just as useful — from eye-popping scarves to cholera-preventing wa… Read the full story on TreeHugger

But over the last 40 years it has been amended to protect the public from dozens of additional dangerous pollutants.

EPA’s proposed Good Neighbor Rule will help states be good neigh… Read the full story on TreeHugger
